nine o’clock
Sleeping was the adored creature 's chief lot in life . If she had ever thought -LRB- which she never had -RRB- of giving up her work and staying at home on his account , what could she have done but twirl her thumbs and watch him sleep and in his lovely lively hours superintend the nurse who required no superintendence ? As it was she was about him in the delicious exercises of transporting him from cot through toilet and refreshment to readiness to take the air . His lordship was off in his lordship 's perambulator by nine o'clock every morning . She did not herself leave , with Harry , till shortly before ten . There , in instance , was an hour at home with not the smallest benefit to Huggo . It would have been the same , had she remained at home , with three in four of all the other hours .
