five o’clock
We were all smoking . I was smoking , and trying to suppress a rising tendency to shudder . Steerforth had made a speech about me , in the course of which I had been affected almost to tears . I returned thanks , and hoped the present company would dine with me tomorrow , and the day after -- each day at five o'clock , that we might enjoy the pleasures of conversation and society through a long evening . I felt called upon to propose an individual . I would give them my aunt . Miss Betsey Trotwood , the best of her sex !
