about eleven o'clock
An ' the little ouzle must be washed , too , ivery Saturday , as if there was n't children enoo to wash , wi'out washin ' dogs . ' Now this particular morning it happened that Milly was quite too poorly to get up , and Mr. Barton observed to Nanny , on going out , that he would call and tell Mr. Brand to come . These circumstances were already enough to make Nanny anxious and susceptible . But the Countess , comfortably ignorant of them , came down as usual about eleven o'clock to her separate breakfast , which stood ready for her at that hour in the parlour ; the kettle singing on the hob that she might make her own tea . There was a little jug of cream , taken according to custom from last night 's milk , and specially saved for the Countess 's breakfast . Jet always awaited his mistress at her bedroom door , and it was her habit to carry him down stairs . ` Now , my little Jet , ' she said , putting him down gently on the hearth-rug , ` you shall have a nice , nice breakfast .
