ten o'clock
Fun forever , and no grubbing ! '' cried Jo , rising , glass in hand , as the lemonade went round . They all drank it merrily , and began the experiment by lounging for the rest of the day . Next morning , Meg did not appear till ten o'clock . Her solitary breakfast did not taste good , and the room seemed lonely and untidy , for Jo had not filled the vases , Beth had not dusted , and Amy 's books lay scattered about . Nothing was neat and pleasant but ` Marmee 's corner ' , which looked as usual . And there Meg sat , to ` rest and read ' , which meant to yawn and imagine what pretty summer dresses she would get with her salary .
