ten o'clock
Although I had been so longing for tea , I had n't been hungry , and had scarcely eaten anything when we had it . Now , I was beginning to be starved . We all sat on the verandah , and Mr. Trowbridge told us things about astronomy , in which he seems as learned as in everything else . By-and-by it was ten o'clock , and Mrs. Trowbridge asked if I were n't tired , and would n't like to go to bed . Then I knew the worst . There was n't going to be any supper . We all bade each other good-night .
