eleven o'clock
This is for Daisy , and Bess , and me , so we do n't want you . '' Whereupon the young gentlemen meekly retired , and invited Daisy to a game of marbles , horse , football , anything she liked , with a sudden warmth and politeness which astonished her innocent little soul . Thanks to these attentions , she got through the afternoon , went early to bed , and next morning did her lessons with an energy which made Uncle Fritz wish that a new game could be invented every day . Quite a thrill pervaded the school-room when Daisy was dismissed at eleven o'clock , for everyone knew that now she was going to have the new and mysterious play . Many eyes followed her as she ran away , and Demi 's mind was so distracted by this event that when Franz asked him where the desert of Sahara was , he mournfully replied , `` In the nursery , '' and the whole school laughed at him . `` Aunt Jo , I 've done all my lessons , and I ca n't wait one single minute more ! '' cried Daisy , flying into Mrs. Bhaer 's room .
