noon
This gave us the parallax of his observation . Breslau , of course , we knew , and so we could place Zitta 's , and with these poor data I went to work to construct , if I could , an orbit for this Io-Phoebe mass of brick and mortar . Haliburton , not strong in spherical trigonometry , looked out logarithms for me till breakfast , and , as soon as it would do , went over to Mrs. Bowdoin , to borrow her telescope , ours being left at No. 9 . Mrs. Bowdoin was kind , as she always was , and at noon Haliburton appeared in triumph with the boxes on P. Nolan 's job-wagon . We always employ P. , in memory of dear old Phil . We got the telescope rigged , and waited for night , only , alas ! to be disappointed again .
