noon
Uncle came to my room a while later and said : `` Hum ! '' and shook his watch , and held it to his ear . I do n't think he liked being broken up with Miss Clara Emily , but he only said that he was going out on the yacht to-morrow -LRB- that 's to-day -RRB- , and for me to consider myself in Mrs. Whalen 's charge for the time being . He went away early this morning with Mr. Peters and Jim Freeman and Lee , and Mrs. Whalen and I saw the Kingsleys off for Rennes at noon . I 'm sure Miss Clara Emily felt dreadfully over Uncle , and Emily says she 's more than ever ashamed of having such an aunt . Emily told me that if an Englishman came on this afternoon 's boat from Jersey , to tell him they 'd gone to Dol . She did n't want him in Rennes , because she knows two French officers in Rennes .
