Timing & context
The source calls the midday meal breakfast.
Alice Hugo recalls repeated household habits. Dawn varies with the season, so early positions are estimates. Noon and the 17:00–19:00 walk are explicit; this account is not combined with other timetables.
1872 is an editorial representative year from Hugo’s return to Guernsey, when Alice and his grandchildren stayed with him. Her recollection does not date the routine to a specific year.
