seven
o’clock
said mother . `` Brother says he wo n't have dinner in the middle of the day , but between six and seven , as they do in Petersburg . I am simply distracted with worry ! By seven o'clock the dinner will be done to rags in the oven . Really , men do n't understand anything about housekeeping , though they have so much intellect . Oh , dear ! we shall have to cook two dinners every day !
