nine o'clock
When nine o'clock arrived she could restrain her impatience no longer , and , going upstairs , she gave a sharp knock on the door of Quincy 's room . `` What is it ? '' answered a voice , somewhat sharply . `` It 's nine o'clock , and your breakfast 's most dried up , '' replied Mrs. Hawkins . `` I do n't wish for any breakfast , '' said the voice within the room , but in a much pleasanter tone . `` What time do you have dinner ? '' `` Twelve o'clock , '' said Mrs. Hawkins .
