“Guess what time it is!”
“Oh, about seven o’clock, I suppose. But please tell me it’s only five.”
“Add four to your seven.”
“Nan, you don’t mean it!”
Nancy held the watch before Jeanette’s eyes. “Imagine! And I don’t think I stirred all night.”
“I’m sure I didn’t. I never slept so late in all my life.”
“Oh, did we disturb you?” Nancy asked, as Miss Ashton appeared in the doorway.
“Disturb me!” she repeated. “It’s time somebody did. Do you two know the hour?”
“Just discovered it. I’m afraid we won’t get to church to-day,” said Nancy, regretfully. Martha slept peacefully on.
“It seems a shame to disturb her,” said Miss Ashton; “but we’ll be eating lunch before we have breakfast, if we put it off much longer.”
