two to five o'clock
It happened to be a Saturday . Miss Davis said this was lucky , or she did n't know what might have happened in school . She said no one could expect children who were going to a party in the afternoon to be very much interested in learning to spell and write in the morning . The party was to be from two to five o'clock , and Sunny Boy , in his best white flannel suit , and carrying Oliver 's present under his arm , started about quarter of two for the birthday boy 's house . At the same time the door of the Bakers ' house opened . `` Going to the party ? '' called Nelson , running down the steps of his house , followed by Ruth .
