noon
In my walks about this section of country , I 've chanced to make a few acquaintances . One of these is managing a kind of pretty place about two miles away from here ; and he suggested that I fetch my sister and brother-in-law across country today . He reckoned that they 'd kind of enjoy looking over the nest his employer has bought and fitted up , though he ai n't really taken possession yet . Tilly , tell Hugh and Thad they 'll be welcome to a snack with us at noon . This is a day we all want to remember , you know . Let tomorrow and dull care look out for themselves . That 's the tramp 's motto . ''
