ten o’clock
It was so narrow on Tanya 's shoulders that it was quite painful to look at her . But Marya Philimonovna had the happy thought of putting in gussets , and adding a little shoulder-cape . The dress was set right , but there was nearly a quarrel with the English governess . On the morning , however , all was happily arranged , and towards ten o'clock -- the time at which they had asked the priest to wait for them for the mass -- the children in their new dresses , with beaming faces , stood on the step before the carriage waiting for their mother . To the carriage , instead of the restive Raven , they had harnessed , thanks to the representations of Marya Philimonovna , the bailiff 's horse , Brownie , and Darya Alexandrovna , delayed by anxiety over her own attire , came out and got in , dressed in a white muslin gown . Darya Alexandrovna had done her hair , and dressed with care and excitement . In the old days she had dressed for her own sake to look pretty and be admired .
