four o'clock
Her whole little mind was full of her namesake -- the great Diana of long ago . She wondered if in the deep shade of the woods she might find a bow strong enough to injure her enemies . Nothing interfered with the excursion to the pleasant woods near Super-Ashton Rectory . The children all found themselves there soon after four o'clock on this lovely summer afternoon . They could sit under the shade of the beautiful trees , or run about and play to their hearts ' content . Miss Ramsay was a very severe governess during school hours , but when there was a holiday she was as lax as she was particular on other occasions . This afternoon she took a novel out of her pocket , seated herself with her back to a great overspreading elm tree , and prepared to enjoy herself .
