about 11 a.m.
Before seeking her stony couch at the end of her first day at Priorsford , Pamela finished the letter begun in the morning to her brother . * * * * * '' ... I began this letter in the morning and now it is bedtime . Robinson Crusoe is no longer solitary : the island is inhabited . My first visitors arrived about 11 a.m. -- a small boy and a dog -- an extremely good-looking little boy and a well-bred fox-terrier . They sat on the garden wall until I invited them in , when they ate chocolates and biscuits , and the boy offered to repeat poetry . I expected ` Casabianca ' or the modern equivalent , but instead I got the song from Hippolytus , ' O take me to the Mountains , O. ' It was rather surprising , but when he invited me to go with him to his home , which is next door , it was more surprising still . Instead of finding another small villa like Hillview with a breakneck stair and poky little rooms , I found a real old cottage .
