stellastewart: They were privately tutored in the same building as they lived, and had occasional contact with their parents and siblings across the road. Cared for primarily by nurses, the children had limited exposure to the world outside the boundaries of the compound except for the daily rounds of tourists, who, from the sisters’ point of view, were generally heard but not seen. Every morning they dressed together in a big bathroom, had doses of orange juice and cod-liver oil, and then went to have their hair curled. They said a prayer before breakfast, a gong was sounded, and they ate breakfast in the dining room. After thirty minutes, they had to clear the table, even if they weren’t done. Then, they went and played in the sunroom for thirty, took a fifteen minute break and at nine o’clock was their morning inspection with Dr. Dafoe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionne_quintuplets
