noon
Ethel , dear , it was the most awful experience . You never can imagine such a life , and such women . They were dressed for a walk at six o'clock ; they had breakfast at half-past seven . They went to the village and inspected cottages , and gave lessons in housekeeping or dressmaking or some other drudgery till noon . They walked back to the Castle for lunch . They attended to their own improvement from half-past one until four , had lessons in drawing and chemistry , and , I believe , electricity . They had another walk , and then indulged themselves with a cup of tea .
