half past
five
I 'd like to ask Mr. Saunders , that keeps the fruit store down on the corner ; but they say thirteen is unlucky , so perhaps twelve will do . '' `` All right , '' agreed Allie . `` How are you going to ask them ? '' `` I shall just say , ` Mamma wishes you 'd come to supper at half past five . ' I wo n't ask them till the night before for fear somebody 'd tell her ; but if she goes on the early train , it will be safe enough . '' `` Then are n't you going to say it 's a surprise party ? '' asked Allie , rising to go home , as she saw Mrs. Fisher coming up the street .
