bilby commented on the word four o'clock
"The whitewashed adobe was velvety cool to the touch, and the mild draught through the tiles and the gaps between walls and roof kept the air fresh. In a miniature fenced compound before the house his wife grew a few flowers, four o'clocks and African marigolds, lovingly cosseted with used water."
- 'The São Francisco', Germaine Greer in The Madwoman's Underclothes.
