four in the morning
If I drop my handkerchief , or a pen , there he is with it , before I have time to stoop . Sometimes I have really to invent errands to send him on , so as to give him something to do for me . I own that I have not contemplated what position he would occupy , if I go trading ; but I quite recognize that he will go with me , and that he would become a portion of my establishment , even if that establishment consisted only of himself . `` Will you be ready to start at four in the morning ? The sun is tremendously hot now , on the days between the rain ; at any rate , it will be much better for you , till you get your strength , to travel in the cool of the morning , or in the evening . '' `` I shall be ready . I will be round here , with my servant , by that hour .
