eight o'clock
Rosel means Rosina with us , and the old nurse in Lichtenstein goes by that name . But observe , she is a particular friend of mine , and comes now and then to see me , when I give her a glass of hot sweet wine , which she loves dearly , and out of gratitude tells me all the news . What I have told you comes from her mouth . Old Lichtenstein knows nothing of the nocturnal visits , because he goes to bed regularly at eight o'clock ; and his daughter sends her nurse every evening at eight o'clock also to her apartment . It struck the good Rosel , however , a few nights ago , that there must be some mysterious cause for this conduct . She pretended to go to bed , -- and only think what happened ? Scarcely was everything quiet in the castle , when the young lady , who otherwise never touches a chip of wood , laid heavy logs on the hearth with her own delicate hands , made a fire , cooked and roasted the best way she could , got wine out of the cellar , and bread out of the cupboard , and spread the table in the dining room .
