seven in the evening
At six o'clock , tired and hot with air and exercise , all went in to tea -- a high tea . At seven John said he must be thinking of getting home ; and happy and glad with all the pleasant influences of the day upon them , Kitty and the Miss Austins accompanied him as far as the farm gate . `` What a beautiful walk you will have , Mr Norton ; but are n't you tired ? Seven miles in the morning and seven in the evening ! '' `` But I have had the whole day to rest in . '' `` What a lovely evening ! Let 's all walk a little way with him , '' said Kitty .
