half past
four
I always sweep the setting-room and front entry Wednesdays . I want to leave everything nice , goin ' away for all day so . So I meant to get the flowers out o ' the way this afternoon . Why , it 's most half past four , ai n't it ? But I sha 'n' t pick the rose till mornin ' ; ' t will be blowed out better then . '' `` The rose ? '' questioned Miss Pendexter .
