noon
`` I should think he 'd want t ' see his grandson . Lizzie , you have n't showed me that boy , '' Mr. Crane insisted . And Elizabeth , weak and worn , had to draw the sleeping child from under the quilts at her side and show him off as if he had been a roll of butter at a country fair , while constant reference was made to one phase or another of the unpleasant things in her experience . Her colour deepened and her head thumped more and more violently , and by noon when they trooped out to the dining room , where Hepsie had a good dinner waiting , the girl-wife was worn out . She could not eat the food brought to her , but drank constantly , and was unable to get a snatch of sleep before the visitors assembled about her bed again . At four o'clock Doctor Morgan arrived and Luther Hansen came for Sadie . Sadie saw him drive in , and laughed unpleasantly .
