About three o'clock
Jane decided to go with her young man to the pictures . Cook said she did n't mind being left , as `` that Master William '' had gone out and there seemed to be no prospect of his return before tea-time . So Jane went to the pictures . About three o'clock the postman came and cook went to the door for the letters . Then she stood gazing down the road as though transfixed . William had collected his guests en route . He was bringing them joyfully home with him .
