six o'clock
As Anne did not appear in either play , her Thanksgiving freedom was assured . And now the great day had dawned at last ! There were to be recitations in the morning , but college would close at noon , not to reopen until the following Monday . The Semper Fidelis girls were to be Elfreda 's guests at Vinton 's that night at a six o'clock dinner . On Thanksgiving morning they were to breakfast at the Tourraine as the guests of Ruth and Arline . Thanksgiving dinner at Martell 's was to be Anne 's and Miriam 's part of the celebration , while Thanksgiving night Emma and Grace were to be hostesses at Vinton 's , their favorite rendezvous . Grace would have dearly loved to be hostess at the Thanksgiving dinner , but she felt that her duty lay with her household .
