Answer 1

The Children’s Hour is the name the speaker gives to an hour in the evening sometime between the dark and the dawn. He is working by lamplight in his study and hears the footsteps and the sweet, hushed voices of his three daughters. A door opens and he can see Alice, Allegra, and Edith slipping down the steps as they plot and plan to ambush him.

Suddenly they rush and surround him as if conducting a raid on a castle. They climb on his chair, seemingly everywhere at once. They kiss him joyfully and throw their arms around him, reminding him of the Bishop of Bingen, a character from a folk-tale who had been surrounded and devoured by mice in his tower.
