eleven in the morning
Now , as I had a notion to combine the useful and the agreeable , my favorite pastime was birds ' nesting . I had one of the best collections of eggs in all the town . They were classified , and under glass cases . There was a certain wood , which , by rising at early morn , and taking the cheap train , I could reach at eleven in the morning . Here I would botanize or geologize at my will . My uncle was always glad of specimens for his herbarium , and stones to examine . When I had filled my wallet , I proceeded to search for nests .
