five o'clock
Nevertheless , my heart sank . Hutchins and I carried the canoe . It was a hot day and there was no path . Aggie , who likes a cup of hot tea at five o'clock , had brought along a bottle filled with tea , and a small basket containing sugar and cups . Personally I never had less curiosity about a lake . As a matter of fact I wished there was no lake . Twice -- being obliged , as it were , to walk blindly and the canoe being excessively heavy -- I , who led the way , ran the front end of the thing against the trunk of a tree , and both Hutchins and I sat down violently , under the canoe as a result of the impact .
