5 a.m.
At last everyone was settled , the lights were out , and the campers , rolled in their blankets , tried to compose themselves to sleep . Raymonde , whose billet was opposite the door of the tent , could see out , and watch the stars shining . She lay awake a long time , with her eyes fixed on a bright planet that moved across the little horizon of sky visible to her , till it passed out of sight , and at length she too slept . The Campers Life began at the camp soon after 5 a.m. , when the more energetic spirits tumbled off their hay sacks , flung on dressing-gowns , and scrambled for turns at the bath tent . Fetching water for the day was the first business of the morning , and those on bucket duty trotted off to the stream , two fields away , joking and making fun as they went , but returning more soberly with the heavy pails . The 6.15 breakfast tasted delicious after their early outing , and most of the workers seemed in good spirits . By seven o'clock the whole party were down in the gardens .
