one
o'clock
So I went . It is so beautifully kept , and such lovely linen , all with lavender between it ; and she talked to the housekeeper , and looked over everything -- she seemed to know each sheet by name ! Then we went to the storeroom , all as neat as a new pin ; and from there to interview all the old people from the village , who were waiting with requests , and some of them were as deaf as she is . So the housekeeper had to scream at both sides , and I _ was _ tired when we got back , and did want to rush out of doors ; but I had to wait , and then walk between Lady Farrington and Aunt Maria up and down the path in the sun till lunch at one o'clock ; and after that we went for a drive in the barouche , with the fattest white horses you ever saw , and a coachman just like Cinderella 's one that had been a rat . He seemed to have odd bits of fur on his face and under his chin , and Aunt Maria said that he suffered from a sore throat , that was why , which he caught at Aunt Mary 's wedding ; and so I counted up -- and as Aunt Mary is your eldest sister , it must have been more than twenty years ago . I do call that a long sore throat , do n't you ? and I would n't keep a coachman with a beard , would you ?
