noon
There seemed nothing to do but to take this unwelcome passenger to Hagar 's Corners and back . Betty , for her part , could have cried with vexation . Gone was her chance of asking Fred to take her to Glenside , and with it the hope of getting to Washington . She knew that after the noon train at Hagar 's Corners there were no more till four o'clock . She wanted to say good-by to the Guerins and to cash her uncle 's check . No wonder she was assailed by a strong desire to tumble the satisfied Mr. Peabody out head over heels . The drive was taken almost in silence , each of the three busy with his own thoughts .
