six o'clock
Everybody went , and wore their best things and looked very nice . We had sandwiches and chicken salad and olives and three kinds of cake and ice cream for refreshments . The ice cream was the brick kind , different colors , like lovely striped ribbon . `` At six o'clock they started for Boston to begin their journey West , and we all stood on the steps and gave them a lovely send-off with rice and old shoes . Just at the last minute Tilly says , ` Let 's give her our Texas yell , and end with `` Miss Sally , '' ' and we did . And everybody laughed and clapped . But not until the carriage drove off did we suddenly remember that she was n't ` Miss Sally ' at all any more , and we felt ashamed .
