eight in the
morning
` Mrs. Grail ca n't do any work now . She sits by the fire all day , and at night she wo n't let him do anything but talk to her . It is n't at all a good servant they 've got . She 's expected to come at eight in the morning , but it 's almost always nine before she gets there . ' ` Could n't you find someone better , Lyddy ? ' ` I 'm trying to , but it is n't easy . I do what I can myself .
