one o’clock
M. Lacordaire still pressed the matter , and Mrs. Thompson still declined till it was time to rise from the table . She then declared that she did not think it possible that she should visit the château before she left Le Puy ; but that she would give him an answer at dinner . The most tedious time in the day to Mrs. Thompson were the two hours after breakfast . At one o'clock she daily went to the school , taking Mimmy , who for an hour or two shared her sister 's lessons . This and her little excursions about the place , and her shopping , managed to make away with her afternoon . Then in the evening , she generally saw something of M. Lacordaire . But those two hours after breakfast were hard of killing .
