ten
o'clock at night
`` I am going , '' said Mary 's mamma , on another evening , to tell you a story about Scotland , and about some children who went there by sea , in a large steam-ship . Their names were Charlotte , Helen , and Robert , and they went with their papa and mamma to visit their uncle and aunt . They went in August , when the weather is fine , and the days are long . They left home in the evening , for the steamer was to start at ten o'clock at night . There was a great bustle when they came to the place where the ships lie in the river Thames . Many people were getting their trunks and boxes in , and hurrying about . They liked to see all this bustle , and to see their own trunks and boxes put in .
