Three o'clock
`` It does seem as if to-morrow afternoon never would come , '' Molly was saying , as she and Polly stood leaning on the fence in the early twilight . `` What time will they get here ? '' Polly asked her . `` Three o'clock , and I just feel as if I could n't wait , when I think how every minute is bringing them along . It 's going to be splendid to have them here . You must come over to see them the very first thing , Polly , for I want them to know my best friend right away . '' `` I do hope they 'll be nice , '' said Polly thoughtfully .
