one o'clock
Except in these brief periods of mysterious excitement her ways were girlish ; and there was always a languor about her , quite incompatible with a masculine system in a state of health . In some respects her habits were odd . Perhaps not so singular in the opinion of a town lady like you , as they appeared to us rustic people . She used to come down very late , generally not till one o'clock , she would then take a cup of chocolate , but eat nothing ; we then went out for a walk , which was a mere saunter , and she seemed , almost immediately , exhausted , and either returned to the schloss or sat on one of the benches that were placed , here and there , among the trees . This was a bodily languor in which her mind did not sympathize . She was always an animated talker , and very intelligent . She sometimes alluded for a moment to her own home , or mentioned an adventure or situation , or an early recollection , which indicated a people of strange manners , and described customs of which we knew nothing .
