seven
o’clock
I wish you would put your watch on of a day ; four times you have sent me to look at that clock since dinner . '' `` I am so thirsty ! '' repeated Mrs. Hare , with a sort of sob . `` If seven o'clock would but strike ! I am dying for my tea . '' It may occur to the reader , that a lady in her own house , `` dying for her tea , '' might surely order it brought in , although the customary hour had not struck . Not so Mrs. Hare .
