eight in the
morning
Next day his mother gave him a dish that could be heated up . He took it into the pleasant , clean room to Polly . And very soon it grew to be an established custom that he should have dinner with her . When he came in at eight in the morning he took his basket to her , and when he came down at one o'clock she had his dinner ready . He was not very tall , and pale , with thick chestnut hair , irregular features , and a wide , full mouth . She was like a small bird . He often called her a `` robinet '' .
