Three o'clock in the afternoon
Did his grandma expect him to starve at her house ? Sunny Boy got up and found his slippers . The `` fernal ` chine ' of an alarm clock was ticking steadily away on the bureau where Mrs. Horton had placed it after unpacking , and with a great deal of trouble and much tracing with a wet forefinger , he made out that it was three o'clock -- or was it five o'clock ? Three o'clock in the afternoon and no lunch ! Sunny Boy felt so sorry for himself that he sat down on the floor and wept a little . He was not quite awake yet , you see , and our troubles often look rather large when we first wake up . In just a minute Sunny Boy stopped crying -- he had thought what to do .
