Nearly two o'clock
The lady who came in was , in Mrs. Rowles 's eyes , exactly like a mouse . Her eyes were bright , her nose was sharp , and her clothing was all of a soft grayish-brown . And she was as quick and brisk as one of those pretty little animals , at which silly people often think they are frightened . `` Nearly two o'clock , Mrs. Mitchell . Now , if you can get the children off to school , I have something important to say to you , and only ten minutes to say it in . Bustle away , my dears , '' she said to the children . After a little clamouring they all went off except Juliet and the baby .
