six o’clock
Blanche is especially invited . '' There were transports till it was recollected that on Thursday morning school would recommence , and that on Friday Harry must join his ship . However , the Roman camp had long been an object of their desires , and Margaret was glad that the last day should have a brilliancy , so she would not hear of any one remaining to keep her company , talked of the profit she should gain by a leisure day , and took ardent interest in every one 's preparations and expectations , in Ethel 's researches into county histories and classical dictionaries , Flora 's sketching intentions , Norman 's promises of campanula glomerata , and a secret whispered into her ear by Mary and Harry . `` Meta 's weather , '' as they said , when the August sun rose fresh and joyous ; and great was the unnecessary bustle , and happy confusion from six o'clock till eleven , when Dr. May , who was going to visit patients some way farther on the same road , carried off Harry and Mary , to set them down at the place . The rest were called for by Mr. Rivers 's carriage and brake . Mrs. Charles Wilmot and her little girl were the only additions to the party , and Meta , putting Blanche into the carriage to keep company with her contemporary , went herself in the brake . What a brilliant little fairy she was , in her pink summer robes , fluttering like a butterfly , and with the same apparent felicity in basking in joy , all gaiety , glee , and light-heartedness in making others happy .
