eleven o'clock
But I really think this brown and buttercups is rather nice . I saw that odious American girl just now -- Miss -- Miss Milwaukee , that mop-stick girl people raved about at Cannes . She was in pale blue and cream colour , a milk and water mixture , and looked positively plain . ' Lady Kirkbank and Lady Lesbia drove across Piccadilly at eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning to breakfast with Mr. Smithson , and although Lesbia had questioned whether it was worth while crossing Piccadilly to eat one 's breakfast , she had subsequently considered it worth while ordering a new gown from Seraphine for the occasion ; or , it may be , rather that the breakfast made a plausible excuse for a new gown , the pleasure of ordering which was one of those joys of a London life that had not yet lost their savour . The gown , devised especially for the early morning , was simplicity itself -- rusticity , even . It was a Dresden shepherdess gown , made of a soft flowered stuff , with roses and forget-me-nots on a creamy ground . There was a great deal of creamy lace , and innumerable yards of palest azure and palest rose ribbon in the confection , and there was a coquettish little hat , the regular Dresden hat , with a wreath of rosebuds .
