noon
At his desk next morning Chillingworth gave to St. George a note from Amory , who had been at Long Branch with _ The Aloha _ when the letter was posted and was coming up that noon to put ashore Bennietod . `` May Cawthorne have his day off to-morrow and go with me ? '' the letter ended . `` I 'll call up at noon to find out . '' `` Yah ! '' growled Chillingworth , `` it 's breaking up the whole staff , that 's what it 's doin ' . You 'll all want cut-glass typewriters next . ''
