ten o'clock
`` All in the Palace are fed from the sultan 's kitchen . At each meal , every officer has so many dishes , according to his rank . These vary from three to twelve . In the early morning , I shall bring you bread and fruit and sherbet ; at ten o'clock is the first meal ; and at seven there is supper . At one o'clock the kitchens are open , and I can fetch you a dish of pillau , kabobs , a chicken , or any other refreshment that you may desire . At present , I have no orders as to how many dishes your Excellencies will receive , at the two meals . '' `` We shall not be particular about that , '' Surajah said .
