eleven o'clock at
night
The apartment has running soda-water , hot and cold ; you will find a refrigerator stocked with peanut brittle , molasses candy , and sugared fruits in the pantry . Your reading will consist of Lucy the Lace Vendor , or How the Laundress Became a Lady ; the works of Marie Corelli ; Factory Fanny , the Forger 's Daughter , and any other unwholesome book you may want from the House of Correction Library . Playtime will begin at seven every morning and you will be compelled to dress and undress dolls until one , when your caramel will be given to you , after which you will skip the rope and read fairy stories until six . You must drink five glasses of soda-water every day and will not be allowed to go to bed before eleven o'clock at night . Hurry now , and get your hair mussed and your hands dirty for dinner . The first course of whipped cream and roasted chestnuts will be served promptly at six-thirty . '' `` But , '' cried Alice , `` I do n't want to stay here -- I want to go home . ''
