three o'clock in the afternoon
`` You must n't think of doing too much , Paul . '' `` Too much ! I shall be idle half the time , at this rate . Here I am , with my day 's work done at three o'clock in the afternoon . I do n't want you to do anything , mother , but take care of the house , as you always used to do . '' `` There will certainly be no need of it , if you get along as well as you expect . How much will such a boat as you want cost , Paul ? ''
