About noon
But when half the forenoon had passed away without any arrival for me , I began to grow anxious , fearing that some mistake had been made . '' `` I am very sorry you had to suffer this annoyance , immediately upon your arrival here too , '' said Emma , regretfully . `` Oh , it did not last long ! About noon the landlord , Greenfield , rapped at my door and told me that the Blue Cliffs carriage had come , and that the ostler was watering the horses while the coachman was taking a glass of beer at the bar . '' `` Jerome had doubtless taken our visitors to the station , and called at the Reindeer to refresh himself and his horses . '' `` Yes , I suppose so . Almost at the same moment that the landlord came to my door to announce the carriage , I heard some one else , under my window , saying to the coachman that there was a lady here waiting to be taken to Blue Cliffs ; and I went down and got into the carriage with bag and baggage .
