about four o'clock
As Amphillis lay on her pillow , she heard an indistinct sound of voices in an adjoining room , and once or twice , as she fancied , a key turned in the lock . At length the voices grew fainter , the hoot of the white owl as he flew past the turret window scarcely roused her , and Amphillis was asleep -- so sound asleep , that when Perrote lay down by her side , she never made the discovery . 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 .
