six o'clock
Whenever her servant asked her advice , or put any question to her , or wanted to know her opinion , she always answered : `` Do as you like , Rosalie . '' So firmly did she believe herself pursued by a persistent ill luck that she became as great a fatalist as an Oriental , and she was so accustomed to seeing her dreams unfulfilled , and her hopes disappointed , that she did not dare undertake anything fresh , and hesitated for days before she commenced the simplest task , so persuaded was she that whatever she touched would be sure to go wrong . `` I do n't think anyone could have had more misfortune than I have had all my life , '' she was always saying . `` How would it be if you had to work for your bread , and if you were obliged to get up every morning at six o'clock to go and do a hard day 's work ? '' Rosalie would exclaim . `` That 's what a great many people have to do , and then when they get too old to work , they die of want . '' `` But my son has forsaken me , and I am all alone , '' Jeanne would reply .
