about four
o'clock
There was a child there that she had taken a fancy to from seeing it at the window whenever she passed . `` Nobody can find out how long she was there , or what the two children did . She says that they played party and had ` good fings ' to eat that they ` finded ' by themselves . Miss Alida met her coming home about four o'clock , and turned to walk with her and see her safely into the house , for she suspected that Doris had run away . Doris was eating some of the pink candy that she had brought home from the cottage , although we did not know where it came from until this morning . `` She offered Miss Alida a taste out of the little pasteboard box she carried . To Miss Alida 's horror , she found it was a package of roach paste , warranted to be a deadly poison to insects .
