nine A.M
Oh ! and I had some jell too , and cream cheese , and the next mornin ' I made two quarts of coffee all ready to warm up in Sister Meechum 's tent -LRB- she had gin permission -RRB- , and a can of sweet cream to add richness to it , and lump sugar accordin ' . I felt that these wuz extraordinary preparations , but did n't begrech 'em , part on 'em wuz on Faith 's account . Well , as I say , the preparations wuz all completed the day before exceptin ' the coffee and creamed potatoes , and them wuz accomplised early in the mornin ' while I wuz gittin ' breakfast , and we all sot off triumphant at nine A.M. . It wuz a clear cool mornin ' in lovely autumn . Old Nater had n't as you may say finished up her fall job of colorin ' and paintin ' , but she wuz all rousted up tendin ' to it . All along the smooth highway leadin ' to the lake , trees and bushes bent over the roadside tinged with crimson and yeller and russet brown , and red , and shaded gold colors mingled with the rich green of the faithful cedars and hemlocks and pines .
