eight o'clock
I have suffered this day until I want to lay my face down against the hem of His garment and wait in the dust for Him to pick me up . I shall never be able to do it myself , and how He 's going to do it I ca n't see , but He will . That dinner-party last night was bad enough , but to-day 's been worse . I did n't sleep until long after daylight and then Judy came in before eight o'clock with a letter for me that looked like a state document . I felt in my trembly bones that it was some sort of summons affair from Judge Wade ; and it was . I looked into the first paragraph and then decided that I had better get up and dress and have a cup of coffee and a single egg before I tried to read it . Incidental to my bath and dressing , I weighed and found that I had lost all four of those last surplus pounds and two more in three days .
