ten o'clock
DEAR MR. WILKIE , -- I am the little girl who lives next door to the church , and , as I seldom go out , the music on practice days and Sundays is one of my greatest pleasures . I want to know if you can have `` Carol , brothers , carol , '' on Christmas night , and if the boy who sings `` My ain countree '' so beautifully may please sing that too . I think it is the loveliest thing in the world , but it always makes me cry ; does n't it you ? If it is n't too much trouble , I hope they can sing them both quite early , as after ten o'clock I may be asleep . Yours respectfully , CAROL BIRD . P.S. -- The reason I like `` Carol , brothers , carol , '' is because the choir-boys sang it eleven years ago , the morning I was born , and put it into Mamma 's head to call me Carol . She did n't remember then that my other name would be Bird , because she was half asleep , and could only think of one thing at a time .
