twelve o'clock
Boche scarcely dirties his things at all . And you , you wo n't be long either , will you ? Your bundle 's quite a little one . Before twelve o'clock we shall have finished , and we can go off to lunch . I used to send my things to a laundress in the Rue Poulet , but she destroyed everything with her chlorine and her brushes ; so now I do the washing myself . It 's so much saved ; it only costs the soap . I say , you should have put those shirts to soak .
