nine o'clock
Charlotte was ready to throw her energies into any active scheme , hospital or picnic , charity-school or kettle-drum . `` To-morrow will be just the sort of day for it , '' said Richard , `` cool and fine . And half the pleasure of a picnic is not having time to get tired of it beforehand . '' `` That 's very true , '' said Charlotte ; `` but I do n't see how we 're going to get everybody notified and everything in order for nine o'clock to-morrow morning . '' `` Nothing easier , '' said Kilian ; `` we 'll go , directly after tea , to the De Witts and Prentices , and send Thomas with a note to the Lowders . Sophie has done her part in shorter time than that , very often ; and I do n't believe we should be starved , if she only gave half an hour 's notice to the cook .
