1 Breakfast was over, and none had breakfasted.
2 The host himself brought my breakfast into the parlour.
3 Hannah says you have had nothing but some gruel since breakfast.
4 I came down as soon as I thought there was a prospect of breakfast.
5 The whole conversation ran on the breakfast, which one and all abused roundly.
6 She had finished her breakfast, so I permitted her to give a specimen of her accomplishments.
7 But I would not be lachrymose: I dashed off the salt drops, and busied myself with preparing breakfast.
8 At breakfast I announced to Diana and Mary that I was going a journey, and should be absent at least four days.
9 Bessie was the only person yet risen; she had lit a fire in the nursery, where she now proceeded to make my breakfast.
10 I perceived that I was sickening from excitement and inanition; neither meat nor drink had passed my lips that day, for I had taken no breakfast.
11 I know not how she occupied herself before breakfast, but after that meal she divided her time into regular portions, and each hour had its allotted task.
12 Wake Sophie when you go upstairs, under pretence of requesting her to rouse you in good time to-morrow; for you must be dressed and have finished breakfast before eight.
13 The remains of my breakfast of bread and milk stood on the table, and having crumbled a morsel of roll, I was tugging at the sash to put out the crumbs on the window-sill, when Bessie came running upstairs into the nursery.
14 The odour which now filled the refectory was scarcely more appetising than that which had regaled our nostrils at breakfast: the dinner was served in two huge tin-plated vessels, whence rose a strong steam redolent of rancid fat.
15 She came and shook hand with me when she heard that I was her governess; and as I led her in to breakfast, I addressed some phrases to her in her own tongue: she replied briefly at first, but after we were seated at the table, and she had examined me some ten minutes with her large hazel eyes, she suddenly commenced chattering fluently.
