six o’clock
You had better come and dine with us somewhere . ' I would not by any means consent to this , for it occurred to me that I really ought to have a little house-warming , and that there never could be a better opportunity . I had a new pride in my rooms after his approval of them , and burned with a desire to develop their utmost resources . I therefore made him promise positively in the names of his two friends , and we appointed six o'clock as the dinner-hour . When he was gone , I rang for Mrs. Crupp , and acquainted her with my desperate design . Mrs. Crupp said , in the first place , of course it was well known she could n't be expected to wait , but she knew a handy young man , who she thought could be prevailed upon to do it , and whose terms would be five shillings , and what I pleased . I said , certainly we would have him .
