noon
`` Too bad about your brother , '' laughed Susie . `` How lovin ' and attentive all at once . I remember how you used to wig him without mercy at school , and try to make him go off and take me home , instid o ' taggin ' along after you , when that big-eyed school teacher that sung tenor 'd be makin ' sheep 's eyes at you in school , and wantin ' to walk home with you in the evenin ' . I remember your slappin ' Si for tellin ' the folks at home about the teacher and you takin ' long walks at noon out to the honeysuckle patch . I 've a great mind to go in and tell it all to Si right before that feller . Then your cake 'll all be dough . Do n't git too uppish with me , young lady .
