three o'clock
The flower stall was a particular success , with its great bunches of daffodils , narcissus , violets , and other spring blossoms , and pots of tulips , lily of the valley , and hyacinths . Leonora had for once risen to the occasion . She had written home to her mother for contributions , and Mrs. Parker had responded generously , sending a quantity of beautiful flowers and pot plants to be sold , and lending some of the finest palms in her conservatory to help to deck the room . By three o'clock everything was in order for patrons , and really the arrangements reflected great credit upon the Committee . All the stalls were well laden with articles . Some of the Seniors had been busy making beautiful things . Doreen Tristram , who was taking lessons in china painting , brought some charming little teacups and saucers , painted with sprays of flowers .
