eleven o’clock
In the dining-room she papered the walls with peasant woodcuts , hung up bark shoes and sickles , stood in a corner a scythe and a rake , and so achieved a dining-room in the Russian style . In her bedroom she draped the ceiling and the walls with dark cloths to make it like a cavern , hung a Venetian lantern over the beds , and at the door set a figure with a halberd . And every one thought that the young people had a very charming little home . When she got up at eleven o'clock every morning , Olga Ivanovna played the piano or , if it were sunny , painted something in oils . Then between twelve and one she drove to her dressmaker 's . As Dymov and she had very little money , only just enough , she and her dressmaker were often put to clever shifts to enable her to appear constantly in new dresses and make a sensation with them . Very often out of an old dyed dress , out of bits of tulle , lace , plush , and silk , costing nothing , perfect marvels were created , something bewitching -- not a dress , but a dream .
