about eight o'clock
The rowboat was pushed out , the girls and the boys waving and shouting their adieus . During the rest of the afternoon the girls were busy sewing , ironing , getting their clothes in fit condition . Supper time came all too soon for them . The dishes were washed and put away with all speed that night , and about eight o'clock the boys put off in their own rowboat . Larry was twanging his banjo on the way over . The `` Red Rover '' was all alight in honor of their coming , and following the arrival of the tramps , a jolly evening was spent . Larry played and the girls sang .
