About one o'clock
Only it did n't occur to anybody that a Carmelite schoolgirl has an early appetite , and Rose had no end of trouble in getting breakfast for me . `` Mlle. goes to bed at dinner-time , '' she said to me , `` and gets up when the Duke is just returning home . '' I began to write . About one o'clock my father knocked at the door of the small drawing-room and asked if he might come in . I opened the door ; he came in , and found me writing to you . `` My dear , '' he began , `` you will have to get yourself clothes , and to make these rooms comfortable . In this purse you will find twelve thousand francs , which is the yearly income I purpose allowing you for your expenses .
