seven o'clock
Or perhaps half a crown -- '' -LRB- V -RRB- About six o'clock in the morning , Jack Kirkby awoke suddenly in his bedroom in Jesus Lane . This was very unusual , and he wondered what it was all about . He thought of Frank almost instantly , with a jerk , and after looking at his watch , very properly turned over and tried to go to sleep again . But the attempt was useless ; there were far too many things to think about ; and he framed so many speeches to be delivered with convincing force at breakfast to his misguided friend , that by seven o'clock he made up his mind that he would get up , go and take Frank to bathe , and have breakfast with him at half-past eight instead of nine . He would have longer time , too , for his speeches . He got out of bed and pulled up his blind , and the sight of the towers of Sidney Sussex College , gilded with sunshine , determined him finally . When you go to bathe before breakfast at Cambridge you naturally put on as few clothes as possible and do not -- even if you do so at other times -- say your prayers .
