eleven o'clock
It was `` a whim of Coombe 's , '' as Feather put it , that she should no longer occupy the little dog-kennels of nurseries , so these new apartments had been added in the rear . A whim of his also that Andrews , whose disciplinary methods included pinching , should be dismissed and replaced by Dowson , a motherly creature with a great deal of common sense . Robin 's lonely little heart opened to her new nurse , who became in time her `` Dowie . '' It was Dowson who made it clear to Lord Coombe , at length , that Robin had reached the age when she needed a governess , and it was he who said to Feather a few days later : `` A governess will come here to-morrow at eleven o'clock . She is a Mademoiselle Vallé . She is accustomed to the education of young children . She will present herself for your approval . ''
