Five o'clock
All , that is , except one small girl who was afraid . She was sitting next to Johnnie Jones , and she asked him to open his bon-bon without pulling it apart . Johnnie Jones liked to hear the popping sound , and he could not help thinking that Susie was foolish to object to it , but he remembered that he must make everyone happy at his party , so he did as his little neighbor asked . Five o'clock came all too soon , and then it was time for the children to return to their homes . When they were ready in their coats and hats , they bade Mother and Johnnie Jones good-by . `` Thank you for the good time we have had , '' they said , as they turned their happy faces homeward , wearing the necklaces and carrying the bon-bons and automobiles . When everyone had gone , Mother held tired , happy little Johnnie Jones on her lap .
