twelve
o'clock
She liked the `` George Inn '' , where her father put up . The landlord was Brangwen 's old friend , and Anna was made much of . She sat many a day in the cosy parlour talking to Mr. Wigginton , a fat man with red hair , the landlord . And when the farmers all gathered at twelve o'clock for dinner , she was a little heroine . At first she would only glower or hiss at these strange men with their uncouth accent . But they were good-humoured . She was a little oddity , with her fierce , fair hair like spun glass sticking out in a flamy halo round the apple-blossom face and the black eyes , and the men liked an oddity .
