five o'clock
So the table 's all set , and I can hurry up dinner so 's to have it as soon as the Doctor gets those folks fixed up -- if there ai n't a lot more by that time . Since Miss Mathewson went I 've been answering the telephone , and it seems ` sif the town would n't let him have his honeymoon out , they 're so crazy to get him back . Now -- will you set down and let me give you a bit o ' lunch ? It 's only five o'clock , and I 've planned dinner for half-past six . '' `` It would be a pity to spoil this glorious appetite , Cynthia , though I 'm sorely tempted . I think I 'll use the time getting freshened up from my long drive -- we 've come a hundred and sixty miles to-day , through the mud . Then I 'll find Bob and be ready to have dinner with the Doctor . ''
