four
o'clock
`` It _ is _ a pretty suit . '' No one but Sophie had such expensive clothes as I , but I can not say at that moment they made me very happy . I was only thinking how improbable that the gray suit would come out of the box that day , unless I should be obliged to dress to mislead the others till the last . The carriages -LRB- for we filled two -RRB- , were to be at the door at four o'clock punctually . The Lowders were five miles away : the whole thing was so talked about and planned about , that when dinner was over , I felt we had had a croquet party , and quite a long one at that . Mr. Langenau did not come to dinner ; Sophie sent a servant to his room after we were at table , to ask him if he would come down , or have his dinner sent to him ; but the servant came back , saying he did not want any dinner , with his compliments to Mrs. Hollenbeck . '' _ À la bonne heure _ '' cried Kilian .
