seven o’clock
The girls generally rose at about nine in the morning in the country ; Aglaya , of late , had been in the habit of getting up rather earlier and having a walk in the garden , but not at seven o'clock ; about eight or a little later was her usual time . Lizabetha Prokofievna , who really had not slept all night , rose at about eight on purpose to meet Aglaya in the garden and walk with her ; but she could not find her either in the garden or in her own room . This agitated the old lady considerably ; and she awoke her other daughters . Next , she learned from the maid that Aglaya had gone into the park before seven o'clock . The sisters made a joke of Aglaya 's last freak , and told their mother that if she went into the park to look for her , Aglaya would probably be very angry with her , and that she was pretty sure to be sitting reading on the green bench that she had talked of two or three days since , and about which she had nearly quarrelled with Prince S. , who did not see anything particularly lovely in it . Arrived at the rendezvous of the prince and her daughter , and hearing the strange words of the latter , Lizabetha Prokofievna had been dreadfully alarmed , for many reasons . However , now that she had dragged the prince home with her , she began to feel a little frightened at what she had undertaken .
