two in the afternoon
In spite of Jack 's opposition , Rosemary persisted in carrying out her plan for earning money . As she had said , she had nearly the whole of every afternoon to herself for Aunt Trudy took a long nap and Doctor Hugh rarely came home between one and six . She called on the mothers of young babies and in many instances was eagerly welcomed . A great many women wanted to leave their youngsters with some one for an hour or two in the afternoon and Rosemary had a `` natural way '' with children , to quote Winnie . The babies took to her at first sight and in a few days Rosemary was able to announce to the disgruntled Jack that she had `` work '' for every afternoon in the week . `` They think I 'm earning money for Christmas , '' she said , `` I did n't say that , honestly I did n't , Jack . But whenever I told any one I wanted to earn some money and did they want me to take care of their baby for fifteen cents an hour , they always said , ` Oh , I suppose you want to earn some money for Christmas , before school opens ' !
