seven o'clock
The next morning dawned on a beautiful summer day . Perrote roused her young companion about four o'clock , with a reminder that if she were late it would produce a bad impression upon Lady Foljambe . When they were dressed , Perrote repeated the Rosary , Amphillis making the responses , and they went down to the hall . Breakfast was at this time a luxury not indulged in by every one , and it was not served before seven o'clock . Lady Foljambe patronised it . At that hour it was accordingly spread in the hall , and consisted of powdered beef , boiled beef , brawn , a jug of ale , another of wine , and a third of milk . The milk was a condescension to a personal weakness of Perrote ; everybody else drank wine or ale .
