five o'clock
The people who decide what the weather is to be , and put its orders down for it in the newspapers every morning , said afterwards that it was the hottest day there had been for years . They had ordered it to be ` warmer - some showers ' , and warmer it certainly was . In fact it was so busy being warmer that it had no time to attend to the order about showers , so there were n't any . Have you ever been up at five o'clock on a fine summer morning ? It is very beautiful . The sunlight is pinky and yellowy , and all the grass and trees are covered with dew-diamonds . And all the shadows go the opposite way to the way they do in the evening , which is very interesting and makes you feel as though you were in a new other world .
