seven o'clock
` My dearest girl , you must try to forget that Mr. Burnett ever entertained so foolish a thought . He was a very good man , and loved you for a long time as he should have loved you -- as a daughter . We shall respect his memory best by forgetting the events of the last six weeks . And now , Emily , dinner will be ready at seven o'clock , and it is now six . What are you going to do ? ' ` I shall go out for a little walk . I shall go down and see the swans . '
