Six o'clock
Emily listened with delight to a conversation which had such varied charms , and shared with Gertrude the admiration of the doctor 's friends , who were all excited to the warmest sympathy for her misfortune . Upon hearing that Dr. Jeremy 's party was going up the Hudson next morning , Dr. Gryseworth , of Philadelphia , who had been a student of our good doctor 's , expressed his pleasure to meet them on the boat , and to introduce to Gertrude his two daughters , whom he was to accompany to Saratoga to meet their grandmother . Gertrude , who slept soundly until wakened by Miss Graham , started up in astonishment on seeing her dressed and standing by the bedside -- a most unusual circumstance , as Gertrude 's morning kiss was wont to be Emily 's first intimation of daylight . `` Six o'clock , Gerty , and the boat starts at seven ! The doctor has knocked at our door . '' `` How soundly I have slept ! '' exclaimed Gertrude .
