noon
And I _ hoped _ they 'd have the funeral in the daytime , because if it was at night-time Father 'd be sure to have a star or something to keep _ him _ from coming . And I _ wanted _ him to come . I _ wanted _ him to feel bad ; and I meditated on how bad he would feel -- when it was too late . But even with all this to meditate on , it was an awfully long time coming noon ; and they did n't call me down to dinner even then . Aunt Jane sent up two pieces of bread without any butter and a glass of water . How like Aunt Jane -- making even my dinner a sin to meditate on ! Only she would call it _ my _ sin , and I would call it hers .
