Saturday's noon
It never entered her head that she was anything but privileged to be able to slave for him . He was always and supremely worth while . Nancy 's only terrors were that something would happen to rob her of the honour . She wanted no other company ; Junior was her world , except when Saturday 's noon train brought Bert . She told her husband , and meant it , that she was too happy ; they did not need the world . But sometimes the world intruded , and turned Nancy 's hard-won philosophy to ashes . She did not want to be idle , and she did not want to be rich , but when she saw women younger than herself , in no visible way inferior , who were both , her calm was shattered for a time .
