eight o’clock
But I think crackers and squibs are a mistake . It 's true you get a lot of them for the money , and they are not bad fun for the first two or three dozen , but you get jolly sick of them before you 've let off your sixpenn ' orth . And the only amusing way is not allowed : it is putting them in the fire . It always seems a long time till the evening when you have got fireworks in the house , and I think as it was a rather foggy day we should have decided to let them off directly after breakfast , only Father had said he would help us to let them off at eight o'clock after he had had his dinner , and you ought never to disappoint your father if you can help it . You see we had three good reasons for trying H. O. 's idea of restoring the fallen fortunes of our house by becoming bandits on the Fifth of November . We had a fourth reason as well , and that was the best reason of the lot . You remember Dora thought it would be wrong to be bandits .
