seven
o'clock
When she opened her eyes and saw the convent room , she remembered how she had come there . Her still dreaming face lighted up with a smile , and she began to wonder what was going to happen next . Soon after , someone knocked . It was the little porteress telling her that it was seven o'clock . Evelyn expected her to come in , pull up the blinds and pour out her bath . But she did not even open the door , and Evelyn lay looking through the strange room , unable to face the discomfort of a small basin of cold water . She would have to do her hair herself , and there was no toilette table .
