five o'clock
The Fayres had a tennis court , and the Roses a croquet ground . Also , Mr. Rose had contributed as his `` surprise '' to the party a set of Lawn Bowls . This was a new sport to many of them and all liked it , and took turns at the bowling . Others wandered about the grounds or sat in the swings and hammocks , and at five o'clock they were called to supper . Little tables had been placed on the lawn and four or six young people were seated at each . Then the good things were brought to them . Bouillon and tiny sandwiches , ices , cakes , jellies , bon-bons , everything that goes to make a delightful party supper .
