one in the morning
It seemed that Lady Groombridge had given out some medicine , and Lady Rose had sent up her hot-water bottle and her spirit-lamp , and had advised that the bottle be constantly refilled during the night . `` But I 'm sure , miss , she should n't take that medicine . I took on myself to tell her not to till I 'd spoken to you , and I 'm sure I do n't know who is going to sit up filling bottles to-night . Lady Groombridge 's maid '' -- in a tone of deep respect -- `` is n't one to be disturbed , and the scullerymaid wo n't get to bed till one in the morning : this girl being ill it gives her double work . '' Molly instantly rose to the situation . She knew of better appliances than the softest hot-water bottles , and soon after her noiseless entrance into the housemaid 's attic the pain had been relieved . But , being a little afraid that the girl was threatened with appendicitis , she knew that if that were the case the relief from the application she had used was only temporary .
