three o'clock
So the children all helped and in a jiffy the pretty , grassy spot where they had eaten lunch was as clean and tidy as when they came . And then away they scampered after the peanuts . Such an afternoon as it was ! Mary Jane tried to remember each thing they did so she could tell her father when he met them after three o'clock . But she could n't remember half what they had done . She knew they saw the little foxes -- such pretty , dainty white and tan colored foxes that played together like little pet kittens and made her want to hold them in her lap and pet them . She knew they saw the bears -- great big bears and middle sized bears and little bit o ' bears just like in the story book , and she fed them peanuts which they caught very deftly in their soft cushioned paws .
