three o'clock
Mrs. Gardiner was not feeling well of late , and could do no sweeping , so Betty found herself with a good day 's work ahead of her one Saturday morning . Instead of playing that the dirt was a host of evil sprits , as Migwan did , which she could vanquish with the aid of her magic broom , Betty went at it sullenly and with a firm determination to do as little as possible and get through just as quickly as she could . She made up her mind that when Migwan went to market in the afternoon she would go along with her in the automobile . So by going hastily over the surface of things she got through by three o'clock , and when Gladys called for Migwan , Betty came running out too , with her coat and hat on , dressed in her best dress . `` Where are you going ? '' asked Migwan . `` Along with you , '' answered Betty .
