one o'clock
Our muse , with the candor which distinguished her , never failed to remind her attendant of the real state of matters . `` I should send you away , Pincott , for you are a great deal too weak , and your eyes are failing you , and you are always crying and sniveling and wanting the doctor ; but I wish that your parents at home should be supported , and I go on enduring you for their sake , mind , '' the dear Blanche would say to her timid little attendant . Or , `` Pincott , your wretched appearance and slavish manner , and red eyes , positively give me the migraine ; and I think I shall make you wear rouge , so that you may look a little cheerful ; '' or , `` Pincott , I ca n't bear , even for the sake of your starving parents , that you should tear my hair out of my head in that manner ; and I will thank you to write to them and say that I dispense with your services . '' After which sort of speeches , and after keeping her for an hour trembling over her hair , which the young lady loved to have combed , as she perused one of her favorite French novels , she would go to bed at one o'clock , and say , `` Pincott , you may kiss me . Good night . I should like you to have the pink dress ready for the morning . '' And so with a blessing upon her attendant , she would turn round and go to sleep .
