nine o'clock
No work at all ! You wo n't believe it , but it is true . We just sit all the morning in the school-room and study ! The teacher comes at nine o'clock and stays till one , and Fani and I are the only scholars ! Of course Fani is much cleverer than I am ; but the teacher is very kind , and when I can not do my lessons he only says : `` Come , be brave , and you 'll soon do as well as your brother ! '' I get along very well , and I am not so ashamed as I was when all the children in school were ahead of me . It is one o'clock before we know it , and we are glad when school-time comes the next day .
