eleven o'clock
She is very neat and careful , and I 'm fearfully quick , so it was well she watched me . I told her she was doing me a favor to dispossess me of what I did n't want and what was in my way , and as we were the same height , though Amy is a little thinner , owing to secret love and distress of mind , I knew the things would fit her , and I was more than glad to get rid of them . Also she did n't have any of her own convenient , and she might as well be sensible . She was , and put in her own tooth brush and powder and left the rest to me , and by eleven o'clock everything was ready . When the next day the news flew around that the marriage had taken place and I had been the leading spirit in it , I went to bed and stayed there until the town had finished chewing me up , and then I came out again . It was the most sensible thing I ever did and saved a lot of talk and argument . Another reason I went to bed was because I was so homesick and so lonely , and so something I had no name for , that I knew it was wiser to be by myself .
