Timing & context
These are alternatives within a recurring afternoon outing, not three activities done together. Dinner followed at five.
His son Ilya describes repeated household habits. Dinner at 17:00 and tea at 20:00 are explicit; other hours and durations are estimates. Visitors could delay work, and afternoon exercise varied.
1875 is a representative display year selected by Typical Tuesday. Ilya’s childhood memories describe country life during the 1870s. He dates his recollections from about 1872, before the family moved to Moscow in 1881.
