six o’clock
`` Oh , nothing particular , dear . M -- -- knows that we are in lodgings , and ca n't manage as well as if we were in a house of our own . A nice cut of fresh salmon , which is always to be had in the fish-market , a small roast of beef , or leg of mutton , with vegetables and a pudding , will do ; and , above all things , Flora , do n't look annoyed , if every thing does not exactly please you , or it will only make matters worse . I am going to call upon M -- -- this morning , and I will ask him and his friend P -- -- to step over and dine with us at six o'clock . '' `` What shall we do for wine and spirits ? '' `` I will order these as I go along . So mind , dear , and have everything as snug and comfortable as you can . ''
