9:25
If it had been Denis who had done the shady thing and was in penury and dishonour thereby , it would have been so simple . But that was inconceivable ; such things did n't happen to Denis ; and as it was it was not simple . Peter got out of his hot bed on to his hot floor , and made for the bathroom . There was only one bathroom in the boarding-house , but there was no great competition for it , so Peter had his bath in peace , and sang a tune in it as was his custom , and came back to his hot room and put on his hot clothes -LRB- his less tidy clothes , because it was the day of joy -RRB- , and came down to breakfast at 9:25 . Most of the other boarders had got there before him . It was a mixed boarding-house , and contained at the moment two gentlemen besides Hilary and Peter , and five ladies besides Peggy and Rhoda . They were on the whole a happy and even gay society , and particularly on Sundays .
