eleven at night
`` I never earned a sovereign in my life , but I should be afraid to say how many I have saved ! '' said Miss Munns complacently . `` There is nothing wasted in my house , my dear , and I should be only too thankful to tell your sister the way your servants behave when her back is turned . The light is flaring in their bedroom until after eleven at night , and I 've seen them myself running after the grocer 's lad to give him extra orders . Does your sister allowance them in butter and sugar ? Depend upon it , if she does n't , they eat twice as much as they should . `` If she brings her books over to me , I will tell her exactly what quantities she ought to order .
