six o'clock
In the morning she attired herself in her new light blue satin robe , corsage Albanaise , with a sort of three-quarter sleeves , and muslin under ones -- something , we believe , out of the last book of fashion . She also had her hair uncommonly well arranged , and sported a pair of clean primrose-coloured gloves . ` Now for victory , ' said she , as she took a parting glance at herself in general , and the hot spot in particular . Judge of her disgust on meeting her mamma on the staircase at learning that his lordship had got up at six o'clock , and had gone to meet his hounds on the other side of the county . That Baggs had boiled his oatmeal porridge in his bedroom , and his lordship had eaten it as he was dressing . It may be asked , what was the maid about not to tell her . The fact is , that ladies ' - maids are only numb hands in all that relates to hunting , and though Juliana knew that his lordship was up , she thought he had gone to have his hunt before breakfast , just as the young gentlemen in the last place she lived in used to go and have a bathe .
