quarter to
nine
Why , I have n't an idle moment from one day 's end to the next . Here 's a sample . This morning I got up just in time for chapel -- I 'm getting to be a terrible chap for sleeping late -- and then had breakfast . By that time it was quarter to nine . At nine I went to my mathematics . Then came Latin , then English . At twelve I reported on the green and practiced signals with the second squad until half past .
