six o'clock
Kitty , coming upstairs at 10.45 after the concert , peeped into the bedroom , and found Lesbia lying asleep , fully dressed , and clasping a Latin dictionary . `` This wo n't do at all , '' muttered Kitty , shaking her head . She was not a demonstrative girl , and despised what she called `` sentimentality '' in Lesbia , but she could be kind in her sensible way . She woke her cousin , made her undress , and promising to call her early next morning , turned out the gas , then went to her own room and set her alarm clock for six o'clock . It was a sacrifice on Kitty 's part , for she detested early rising ; she did it , however , without any fuss , just as part of the day 's work . She hauled Lesbia out of bed by gas-light , and went over the whole of her home lessons with her before breakfast , sending her off to school better prepared than she had been for many weeks . After that a family understanding was arranged .
