four o'clock
The postman brought lots of valentines for the two little girls . Delight 's were almost all from her friends in New York , although some of the Rockwell young people had remembered her too . Marjorie 's were nearly all from Rockwell , and though there were none from any of her family , that did not bother her , for she knew they would come in the afternoon for the `` party . '' At four o'clock the `` party '' came . Midget and Delight , watching from the window , saw James and Thomas come across the street , bringing between them a great big something , all wrapped in white tissue paper . They left their burden , whatever it was , on the porch , rang the door-bell , and went away . The children flew to the door , and , with the help of Mary and Miss Hart , they brought the big thing in .
