ten o'clock
One or two is early enough for a person who lies till ten . ' ` You should n't lie till ten . There 's the very prime of the morning gone long before that time . A person who has not done one-half his day 's work by ten o'clock , runs a chance of leaving the other half undone . ' ` Nevertheless , Mrs. Dean , resume your chair ; because to-morrow I intend lengthening the night till afternoon . I prognosticate for myself an obstinate cold , at least . ' ` I hope not , sir .
