She passed up early in the morning , at about five forty-five . He could barely see her then , and somehow she looked very pathetic hurrying along in the cold , dim light of dawn . After she had cooked the Arkwright breakfast , swept the Arkwright floors , dusted the Arkwright furniture , she passed back toward Niggertown , somewhere near nine . About eleven o'clock she went up to cook dinner , and returned at one or two in the afternoon . Occasionally , she made a third trip to get supper . This was as exactly as Peter could predict the arrivals and departures of Cissie , and the schedule involved a large margin of uncertainty . For half an hour before Cissie passed she kept Peter watching the clock at nervous intervals , wondering if , after all , she had gone by unobserved .
