four o'clock
Edith walked on slowly in front thinking what was the best way to cheer Burke out of his most moodful mind . At last she hit on a plan . `` Burke , '' she said `` I have painted such a pretty little tray , it will just hold a cup of tea and a plate of toast and the paint is quite dry now , if you will come in and have a cup of tea with me to-day , I will gladly show it to you . '' This short but cheerful conversation of Edith 's , made Burke quite forget their quarrel , and he turned round and said , `` I will willingly come Edith , I know your good painting , -- hark , there is four o'clock striking now . '' `` So it is , '' said Edith pulling her hat more over her fringe . Burke and Edith walked down the quiet little village in which both their houses stood . At last they arrived at Edith 's house which was much prettier than Mrs. Molvern 's .
