nine o’clock
I wondered then , whether she would have gone if Agnes had not been in town , and whether Agnes had some good influence over her too ! She did not look very happy , I thought ; but it was a good face , or a very false one . I often glanced at it , for she sat in the window all the time we were at work ; and made our breakfast , which we took by snatches as we were employed . When I left , at nine o'clock , she was kneeling on the ground at the Doctor 's feet , putting on his shoes and gaiters for him . There was a softened shade upon her face , thrown from some green leaves overhanging the open window of the low room ; and I thought all the way to Doctors ' Commons , of the night when I had seen it looking at him as he read . I was pretty busy now ; up at five in the morning , and home at nine or ten at night . But I had infinite satisfaction in being so closely engaged , and never walked slowly on any account , and felt enthusiastically that the more I tired myself , the more I was doing to deserve Dora .
