about four o'clock
`` I like your ideas of greatness , Fanny , '' replied Mrs. Fabens , `` I like your ideas of greatness , and am glad you do not join those foolish girls in a pride that would despise such a young man . True greatness is of the mind , and riches are of the heart . But let us hurry with our refreshments , for it is beautiful out now , and they must be hungry , and we will enjoy it with them . '' They plied themselves briskly , and about four o'clock the white cloths were laid under a cool maple shade-tree , and on them was spread a sumptuous lunch of fricasseed chickens , to be taken leisurely with flowing cups of coffee , and followed with saucers of raspberries and cream , and large and luscious pieces of blackberry pie . The look of thankfulness and cheer which the men all returned for such a refreshment , more than rewarded them , and sweet was the gratification with which they themselves and the good-hearted Fabens partook of the rural meal . The presence of William Fabens also , enhanced the interest of the hour , and furnished conversation which all were glad to hear . William Fabens was a cousin of the Squire 's , whom he had not seen before that month , since they were boys in Cloverdale .
