Five o'clock
So I went at it , hammer and tongs , and soon could produce a great noise , though mighty dismal , I think , and maybe what you would -LRB- had you heard it -RRB- have called heartrending , since whenever I started up Kaiser would point his nose to the ceiling and howl , very sad indeed . I think when one of our concerts was going on that could a guest have arrived at the Headquarters House he would have thought he had found a home for lunatics and not a hotel for an honest traveler who could pay his way . During the blizzard also I drew up in black and white a programme for each day which I decided I must follow out when the weather became better ; though I had lived up to most of it from the first . Thus it was : Five o'clock -- Get up , start fire in hotel and make cup of coffee . Five-thirty -- Inspect fires in bank and three stores . Six o'clock -- Feed horses and cow and chickens , and milk cow . Six-thirty -- Get breakfast for self and Kaiser and Pawsy -LRB- which included washing the dishes , a hard job -RRB- .
