eight o'clock
Amos , who never had been on the reservation , planned to go and Levine rented an automobile and invited Lydia , Amos , Billy Norton and Lizzie to accompany him . It rained on the third of July , but the fourth dawned clear and hot . Lydia really saw the dawn for she and Lizzie had undertaken to provide the picnic lunch and supper for the party of five and they both were busy in the kitchen at sunrise . At eight o'clock the automobile was at the door . John drove the car himself and ordered Lydia in beside him . The rest packed into the tonneau with the baskets . It seemed as if all Lake City were headed for the reservation , for Levine 's automobile was one of a huge line of vehicles of every type moving north as rapidly as the muddy road and the character of the motive power would permit .
