noon
What with getting settled and everything , we had not much time to think about the spy . It was on the third day , I believe , that he brought his green canoe to the open water in front of us and anchored there , just beyond earshot . He put out a line and opened a book ; and from that time on he was a part of the landscape every day from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. . At noon he would eat some sort of a lunch , reading as he ate . He apparently never looked toward us , but he was always there . It was the most extraordinary thing . At first we thought he had found a remarkable fishing-place ; but he seemed to catch very few fish .
