about six o’clock
He starts for his room after supper , and we all say `` good luck , '' `` have a good time , '' and stuff . Things are really looking up . I get up early the next morning and help Mom button up around the house and get the car loaded before Pop gets home in the afternoon . He hoped to get off early , and I 've been pacing around snapping my fingers for a couple of hours when he finally arrives about six o'clock . It 's a hot day again . I do n't say anything about Cat . I just dive in the back seat and put him behind a suitcase and hope he 'll behave .
