three o'clock
`` Funny Stefana ! she goes to my heart , she and her starch -- when they 're asleep ! '' But , awake , Stefana 's starch went to Miss Theodosia 's back and aching bones . It was three o'clock when she was ready to go to bed . Over chairs and the couch in her sitting-room , lay the three redeemed white dresses , soft again and very smoochless and smooth . Miss Theodosia stood and admired . She was full of pride and weariness .
