about six o'clock
I think Mary Leighton could have cried if she had not been ashamed . Her pretty blue organdie was on the bed ready to put on . It went back into the wardrobe very quickly , and she came down to tea in a gray barége that was a little shabby . A rain had come on about six o'clock . At tea the candles were lit , and the windows closed . Every one looked moped and dull ; the evening promised to be insufferable . Mrs. Hollenbeck saw the necessity of rousing herself and providing us some amusement .
