midday
I 'm awfully obliged . But how did you come round father ? '' `` Oh , never mind now ; it 's done , and father 's quite satisfied . He expects you to go with him , and he told me to tell you to be sure to be ready in good time , as he can not miss the midday train . '' `` No fear . I 'll be ready , I 'm only too glad to get away from the Chase just now . Is that Hudson I see in the passage ?
