half past
twelve
Lord North at one time was governor to the prince ; he gave me the programme of the daily routine . The boy was to be out of bed at seven o'clock , eat breakfast and be ready for Mr. Scott from eight o'clock to nine , or till the Reverend Doctor John Thomas came , who had him in charge till eleven , when he was to be turned over to Mr. Fung , for what purpose Lord North did not know . At noon , Mr. Ruperti had him for half an hour . From half past twelve till three the prince could play ; that is , he could walk through the grounds around Leicester House , trussed up in fine clothes like a turkey for the spit , but he could n't kick up his heels or turn somersaults on the grass ; he must be a nice little gentleman in lace and ruffles . At three o'clock he had dinner . At half past four the dancing-master , Mr. Deneyer , taught him the minuet . At five o'clock he had another half hour with Mr. Fung .
