noon

'' `` Ah , I know you wo n't admit it , '' said Hadria , `` but some day we shall all see that this is the result of human cruelty and ignorance , and that it is no more ` intended ' or inherently necessary than that children should be born with curvature of the spine , or rickets . Some day it will be as clear as noon , that heartless ` some day ' which can never help you or me , or any of us who live now . It is we , I suppose , who are required to help the ` some day . ' Only how , when we are ourselves _ in extremis _ ? '' `` The poor are helpers of the poor , '' said Valeria .
