Passage: Caroline Austen’s 1867 recollection · passage beginning “At 9 o’ clock”
Timing & context
Caroline describes a regular household duty and explicitly gives 09:00. No duration is supplied.
Her nephew and niece describe repeated habits at Chawton. Morning piano practice was regular; evening singing happened only sometimes. Unrecorded clock times and durations are estimated.
1813 is a representative display year selected by Typical Tuesday. The source is a family recollection of recurring habits during her Chawton years, 1809–1817, rather than a timetable for one documented day.
