noon
When she went away she left it with me , and I carried it out and put it on the rafters , with the other things -- I seemed to be getting more to hide every day . Things went all wrong the next day . Sis was in a bad temper , and as much as said I was flirting with Carter Brooks , although she never intends to marry him herself , owing to his not having money and never having asked her . I spent the morning in fixing up a studio in the boat-house , and felt better by noon . I took two boards on trestles and made a desk , and brought a dictionary and some pens and ink out . I use a dictionary because now and then I am uncertain how to spell a word . Events now moved swiftly and terribly .
