two o'clock
At eight o'clock the little family assembled in the parlour , to join in prayer , and in reading a short portion of Scripture ; after which , they breakfasted . Jane then saw her sisters and little brother off to school , and went into her kitchen to give her household directions before she went out . It was some inconvenience that she could not dine at the same time with the rest of the family ; but it could not be helped . The children were obliged to be back at school by two o'clock , and she did not leave Mrs Everett 's till three . After dinner , she sat down to her work , of which it may be supposed there was always plenty to be done . The children learned their lessons before tea-time , and after tea they went out to walk all together , whenever the weather would allow of it . They generally returned in time to read a little before nine o'clock , when the younger ones went to bed .
