six o'clock
And by that time the light was so clear in the tiny white room , that there was no longer any doubt about it , I really was awake . I was dear little thirteen-year-old Beechy Kidder , who was n't telling fibs about her age , because she _ was _ thirteen , and was it anybody 's business if she were something more besides ? I looked at my bracelet-watch , which I had tucked under my pillow last night . It was n't quite six o'clock , and we had n't gone to bed till after one ; but I knew I could n't sleep any more , and life seemed so interesting that I thought I might as well get up to see what would come next . The water-pitcher did n't hold much more than a quart , but I took the best bath I could , dressed , and decided to find out what the monastery grounds were like . We were not to be called till half-past seven , and it was arranged that we should start at nine , so there was an hour and a half to spare . I wondered whether I should wake Maida , and get her to go with me , but somehow I was n't in the mood for Maida .
