five
o'clock
All day Friday he kept me tearing from shop to shop , buying more clothes than I can wear out in a lifetime , I believe , lots of them things I 'd never even seen or heard of before . Some of the suits had to be altered a little , so in the afternoon we went back to the same places we 'd been to in the morning , and tried the blamed things on again . How women can like that sort of thing is beyond me -- I 'd rather dig potatoes all day . By five o'clock I was so tired that I was ready to lie right down on Fifth Avenue , and let the passing crowds walk over me , if they liked . But Mr. Stevens hustled me into a huge hotel called the Waldorf for a hair-cut and `` tea '' -LRB- which is n't a good square meal , but a little something to drink along with a piece of bread-and-butter as thick through as tissue-paper -RRB- and then out again to see a few sights before we went home to dress for `` an early dinner '' -LRB- _ seven o'clock ! _ -RRB- and go to the theatre in the evening . `` Dressing '' meant struggling into my new dress-suit .
