About this time the door of the girls ' cabin was heard to creak ; and we saw Catherine and Theodora peeping out . `` What lazy things girls are ! '' Addison exclaimed , derisively . `` Here it is nigh seven o'clock and you sluggards are not out yet . '' `` Oh , we 've been awake and up a long time , '' said Kate . `` It was fun to lie and hear you boys pottering about , trying to get breakfast , and to hear you talk , too . I suppose we shall all be obliged to go down to the brook to wash our faces , '' she added .
