early meal

Walter Vaughan and his heir were partaking of an early meal before going to the chase.

And it was here by the chequered wall that the next morning, directly after a very early meal, the first researches were made.

"Oh, he had an early meal and said he was going fishing out in the lake," said Mrs. Brown.

Half an hour was allowed for this early meal, and it could be followed by a smoke for those who indulged in tobacco.

They were some times not up, and never dressed in time for that early meal.
