nine o'clock
Clery did not devote himself exclusively to the service of the Dauphin ; for there were at first few , and latterly no other servants than himself , except a man named Tison , and his wife , who did the rough work of the chambers for a time . The way in which the royal prisoners passed their days , for some few months , was as follows : The king rose at six in the summer , and at seven as winter came on . He shaved himself , and then Clery dressed his hair , and finished his toilette . The king retired to a small turret-chamber , which he made his study , and there kneeled at his prayers , and read religious books till nine o'clock , his guard always taking care that the door was half-open ; so that the king could not even kneel to pray in entire privacy . -- Meantime Clery made the bed , and prepared the room for breakfast , and then went down to take up little Louis . After washing and dressing him , he dressed the queen 's hair , and then went to the other princesses , to do the same service for them . This was the opportunity seized for telling the family any news he had been able to obtain of what was going on out of doors .
