noon
There had been an ode read , and toasts and songs ; indeed , it had called together the notable men of the city , who had partaken of a grand feast . It was much talked of for weeks ; and Doris questioned Uncle Winthrop and began to be interested in matters pertaining to her new country . She was learning a good deal about the city . Warren took her to Aunt Priscilla 's one noon , and came for her when they had `` shut up shop . '' Aunt Priscilla did not mend rapidly . She called it being `` pudgicky , '' as if there was no name of a real disease to give it . A little fresh cold , a good deal of weakness -- and she had always been so strong ; some fever that would persist in coming back even when she had succeeded in breaking it up for a few days .
