four in the afternoon
You feel -- but you must get up and come out with me , Dad . I ca n't describe it . If it had n't been for the good old cow , Lord knows what time I 'd have been up . The clock went off at half-past four in the afternoon , just as they were sitting down to tea , and frightened them all out of their skins . We have fiddled about with it all we know , but there 's no getting it to do anything between six p.m. and six am . Anything you want of it in the daytime it is quite agreeable to . But it seems to have fixed its own working hours , and is n't going to be bustled out of its proper rest .
