about eleven o'clock
But I know that seeds of trouble , and seeds of hope -LRB- to develop how I could not guess -RRB- were at about this time planted in my little being . When , with my cakes in my hand , I re-entered the parlor where the family sat talking together quietly , I felt for a quick , almost inappreciable , moment suffocated and imprisoned . At half-past nine , because of me seldom later , tea was served , and with it we had thin slices of bread , spread with the most delicious butter , and cut with the care one gives to very few things in these days . Then at about eleven o'clock , after a reading from the Bible and a prayer , we retired . As I lay in my little white bed I was always more restless Sunday nights than at any other time . Immediately ahead of me there was the prospect of Mr. Ratin whom morning would surely bring , and he was always a most painful sight to me after a respite ; also I was full of regret because Sunday was over , always over so quickly ! -- and I felt a great weariness when I thought of the many lessons it would be necessary for me to prepare before Sunday came again .
