three o’clock
Every Thursday our son-in-law dines with us , will you then be contented with our dinner ? Now you shall become acquainted with my daughters . '' `` And I must to my office , '' said the husband ; `` therefore let us consider Thursday as an appointment . We dine at three o'clock , and after coffee Laide gives us music . '' The lady now conducted Otto into the sitting-room , where he found the four daughters in full activity with a workwoman . The fifth daughter , Julle , was , as they had told him , gone to the shops for patterns : yesterday she had run all over the town , but the patterns she received were not good . The lady told him the name of each daughter ; their characteristics he naturally learnt later .
