five in the morning
She wished that it was all a dream , from which she had waked only to fall asleep again . But it was no use playing at dreams with Mrs. Davis standing by . Mrs. Davis was by no means in a humor for play . People rarely are at five in the morning . She rushed about the house like a whirlwind , giving Mell directions , and scolding her in advance for all the wrong things she was going to do , till the poor child was completely stunned and confused . By and by the tall man appeared with his wagon . Mrs. Davis got in and drove away , ordering and lecturing till the last moment .
