`` You have n't given the hour , or asked her to pour tea , '' Miss Betsy said , as she read the note through . `` Oh , bother ! so I have n't . I 'll put in a postscript : '' The party will begin at four o'clock . We 'd like it if you would pour tea . Alice 's note was as follows : _ Dear Miss Pauline _ , We are going to have a surprise party for mother a week from next Saturday , at four o'clock . Will you please wear your pretty violet gown and pour chocolate and bring a hen .
