four o'clock Monday afternoon
And so has Mother . There 's been such a lot going on since we came . But I 'll try now to begin at the beginning and tell what happened . Well , first we got into Boston at four o'clock Monday afternoon , and there was Grandpa Desmond to meet us . He 's lovely -- tall and dignified , with grayish hair and merry eyes like Mother 's , only his are behind glasses . At the station he just kissed Mother and me and said he was glad to see us , and led us to the place where Peter was waiting with the car . -LRB- Peter drives Grandpa 's automobile , and _ he 's _ lovely , too . -RRB-
