five o'clock
It read half-past five . Poor ayah ! she is the one who laughs continuously because there are so many white children in the world , but she was not to laugh much more that day . Well , they went up the Baby Walk and back , and when they returned to the time-board she was surprised to see that it now read five o'clock for closing time . But she was unacquainted with the tricky ways of the fairies , and so did not see -LRB- as Maimie and Tony saw at once -RRB- that they had changed the hour because there was to be a ball to-night . She said there was only time now to walk to the top of the Hump and back , and as they trotted along with her she little guessed what was thrilling their little breasts . You see the chance had come of seeing a fairy ball .
