nine
o'clock
As they hastened downstairs , Katy fastening her breast-pin , and Clover her cuffs , they met other girls , some looking half asleep , some half dressed ; all yawning , rubbing their eyes , and complaining of the early hour . `` Is n't it horrid ? '' said Lilly Page , hurrying by with no collar on , and her hair hastily tucked into a net . `` I never get up till nine o'clock when I 'm at home . Ma saves my breakfast for me . She says I shall have my sleep out while I have the chance . '' `` You do n't look quite awake now , '' remarked Clover .
