noon
The war accustomed us to a million women in overalls doing the work of a million men . We saw them ploughing , juggling steel bars , making shells , running engines , stoking furnaces , handling freight . But to these two American men , at that time , the thing at which these labouring women were employed was dreadful and incredible . Said Wallie `` By the time we 've dressed , and had breakfast , and walked a little and everything , it 'll be almost noon . And noon 's the time . After they 've eaten their lunch . But I want you to see her before . ''
