about eleven o'clock
As I was the only lady travelling , the guard was much against giving me a carriage to myself , but a man who spoke with authority , hearing us argue , came up and told him to put a `` Ladies Only '' placard on my carriage , so I travelled in lonely splendour . At Assansol , which we reached at 5 a.m. , we had _ chota-hazri _ . Tea and toast , and most diminutive eggs , which we had to hold in our fingers as there were no egg-cups . Simultala was my destination , and about eleven o'clock we reached it . Underneath the trees a few yards away from the little station we found a bullock-cart , which the Russels had sent for my luggage , and a doolie for myself . A doolie is a kind of string-bed hung on a pole , with a covering to keep off the sun . It is carried by four men , and two others run alongside to relieve their companions at intervals .
