five o'clock
`` Well , I am glad , '' said Nan , after she had recovered her breath ; `` now you can rest and get back your rosy cheeks once more . '' `` Not yet , '' said Patty gaily ; `` there is commencement day and the play yet . They 're fun compared to examinations , but still they mean a tremendous lot of work . To-morrow will be my busiest day yet , and I 've bought me an alarm clock , because I have to get up at five o'clock in order to get through the day at all . '' `` What nonsense , '' said Nan , but Patty only laughed , and scurried away to dress for dinner . When the new alarm clock went off at five the next morning , Patty awoke with a start , wondering what in the world had happened . Then , as she slowly came to her senses , she rubbed her sleepy eyes , jumped up quickly , and began to dress .
