noon
So on this day when George Heigold got a hundred in geometry , somethin' else happened . It was a warm day and you could hear bees outside , and the trees was beginnin ' to show green . All of us was so sleepy we could hardly stay awake , and I could look out of the window and see the river and the hills on the other side , and I could even see people fishin ' . Well , near noon we all began to smell somethin' like onions , and it got worse and worse , and seemed to come up from the registers , for Jas . Walker , the janitor , was keepin ' a little fire yet , or had for early mornin ' . And the professor got over the register and smelt and he says , `` Who put asoefetida in the furnace -- who did such a cowherd thing as that ? '' Nobody said nothin ' .
