quarter
past twelve
The grey light of a cloudy winter day coming through the window by no means made an unpleasant or cheerless impression . He rang , and Petronilla appeared . The young lady , she said , had awakened , looking well and rosy , and had already breakfasted . She handed him a note from Willy Snyders , saying exactly where he could be found at different times during the forenoon and that he would be back for lunch at quarter past twelve . Frederick took the second bath he had had within twelve or fourteen hours . They had laid out fresh underwear and several perfectly new suits of Bonifacius Ritter 's for him to choose from ; and he sat down to breakfast a `` newborn '' man . Petronilla herself brought in breakfast .
