about 10 o'clock
But when Mrs. Twistytail heard that Flop Ear did not feel well , she said : `` Perhaps you had better not go today . Just lie abed and maybe you will be better by afternoon . '' So Curly Tail had to go to school alone , and he felt rather lonesome , and Flop Ear stayed at home , just like the little pig in the story . But pretty soon , oh , I guess about 10 o'clock , when it was too late to go to school , Flop Ear got out of bed and said : `` I do n't feel quite so badly now , mother . Maybe if I go out in the air , I 'll be all well . '' `` All right , '' she said , and there was a funny little twinkle in her eyes . `` But first you must take some castor oil , and then I will be sure you will be better , '' she added .
