six o'clock
People who live in these houses are fond of this mixture . They do not open the window and lose any of it ; they keep it carefully bottled up . If you want any other scent , you can go outside and smell the wood violets and the pines ; inside there is the house ; and after a while , I am told , you get used to it , so that you miss it , and are unable to go to sleep in any other atmosphere . We had a long walk before us the next day , and it was our desire , therefore , to get up early , even so early as six o'clock , if that could be managed without disturbing the whole household . We put it to our hostess whether she thought this could be done . She said she thought it could . She might not be about herself at that time ; it was her morning for going into the town , some eight miles off , and she rarely got back much before seven ; but , possibly , her husband or one of the boys would be returning home to lunch about that hour .
