o'clock
I wonder that it never occurs to her that to keep the breakfast table round , as we must , makes the girls cross and upsets the kitchen generally . I hinted as much to her once when the table stood till ten o'clock , and she only opened her great blue eyes wonderingly , and said mamma had spoiled her , but she would try and do better , and she bade Zillah call her at five the next morning , and Zillah called her , and then she was a half-hour late . Guy does n't like that , and he looked daggers on the night of the reception , when the guests began to arrive before she was dressed ! And she commenced her toilet , too , at three o'clock ! But she was wondrously beautiful in her bridal robes , and took all hearts by storm . She is perfectly at home in society , and knows just what to do and say so long as the conversation keeps in the fashionable round of chit-chat , but when it drifts into deeper channels she is silent at once , or only answers in monosyllables . I believe she is a good French scholar , and she plays and sings tolerably well , and reads the novels as they come out , but of books and literature , in general , she is wholly ignorant , and if Guy thought to find in her any sympathy with his favorite studies and authors he is terribly mistaken .
