'We'll start early, Marie, and have a bit of breakfast before we go.
Will six be too early for you, George, with your town ways ?' George said that six would not be too early, and as he made the engagement for the morning he resolved that he would if possible throw his thunderbolt that night. 'Marie will get us a cup of coffee and a sausage.
Marie is always up by that time.' Marie smiled, and promised that they should not be compelled to start upon their walk with empty stomachs from any fault of hers. If a hot breakfast at six o'clock in the morning could put her cousin into a good humour, it certainly should not be wanting. In two hours after supper George was with his father.
