Six o’clock
I have made up my mind to get the better of the temptation . I have made up my mind to give my landlady and her children a treat ; I have made up my mind to close my Diary . And closed it shall be . `` Six o'clock . -- The landlady 's gossip is unendurable ; the landlady 's children distract me . I have left them to run back here before post time and write a line to Mrs. Oldershaw . `` The dread that I shall sink under the temptation has grown stronger and stronger on me .
