twelve
o'clock
I must go and show her that , whatever Béla may have told her , I am the hostess at the banquet to-day , and mean to have things done as I like and not as she may choose to direct ... . Now mind you do n't allow your father to disarrange his clothes . Móritz and the others will be here by about eleven , and then you can arrange the bunda round him after they have fixed the carrying-poles to his chair . We sit down to eat at twelve o'clock , and I will come back to fetch you a quarter of an hour before that , so that you may walk down the street and enter the banqueting place in the company of your mother , as it is fitting that you should do . And do n't let anyone see you before then : for that is not proper . When you fix the bunda round your father 's shoulders , make all the men go out of the house before you enter the room . Do you understand ? ''
