noon Monday
But he made no excuse to go , and he did n't go , to Pryors ' . When Sunday came , he went to Westchester to see Elizabeth , and stayed until Monday morning . Not once that week did the Princess ride past our house , or her father either . By noon Monday Laddie was back in the field , and I had all I could bear . He was neither whistling nor singing so much now , because he was away at the south end , where he could n't be seen or heard at Pryors ' . He almost scoured the skin from him , and he wore his gloves more carefully than usual . If he soiled his clothing in the least , and it looked as if he would make more than his share of work , he washed the extra pieces at night .
