ten o'clock
This was the manner of her life . When her husband left her , which was very early in the morning , she generally slept for an hour , then rose and went to the bath . Her boy was brought to her in the pavilion of the Garden of Fountains ; she spent two hours or more with him , teaching him his prayers , the honour of his father , love and duty to his mother , respect for the long purposes of God . At ten o'clock she broke her fast , and afterwards her women sat with her at needlework ; and one would sing , or one tell a good tale ; or , leave being given , they would gossip among themselves , with a look ever at her for approval or -LRB- what rarely happened -RRB- disapproval . There was not a soul among her slaves who did not love her , nor one who did not fear her . She talked no more than she had ever done , but she judged no less . Many times a day the Old Man sent for her , or sometimes came to her room , to discuss his affairs .
