eleven o'clock on Sundays
`` Mother -- Agatha -- this is Jo . '' Joanna swooped down on the old lady with a loud kiss . `` Pleased to meet you , '' said Mrs. Hill in a subdued voice . She was very short and small and frail-looking , and wore a cap -- for the same reason no doubt that she kept an aspidistra in the dining-room window , went to church at eleven o'clock on Sundays , and had given birth to Agatha and Albert . Agatha was evidently within a year or two of her brother 's age , and she had his large , melting eyes , and his hair that sprang in a dark semicircle from a low forehead . She was most elegantly dressed in a peek-a-boo blouse , hobble skirt , and high-heeled shoes . `` Pleased to meet you , '' she said , and Joanna kissed her too .
