nine o'clock
Cora arose , but before she could reach the bell , the door was opened , and the waiter appeared to lay the cloth . After dinner the Iron King went into a little room attached to the suite , which he used as a smoking den . The two young women settled themselves to read . They all retired at nine o'clock that night so as to rise very early next day . It was a splendid May morning . Our travelers were out of bed at half-past four o'clock . The sun was just rising when they sat down to their early breakfast .
