five o'clock
`` But we shall soon know . '' * * * * * Marjorie had worked hard all day . Partly because she wanted to prove herself a good worker , and partly because , if she stopped to think , her troubles seemed greater than she could bear . But a little after five o'clock everything was done , supper prepared , and the child sat down on the kitchen steps to rest . She was tired , sad , and desolate . The slight excitement of novelty was gone , the bravery and courage of the morning hours had disappeared , and a great wave of homesickness enveloped her very soul . She was too lonely and homesick even to cry , and she sat , a pathetic , drooped little figure , on the old tumble-down porch .
