morning, noon
Caddy told me that her lover 's education had been so neglected that it was not always easy to read his notes . She said if he were not so anxious about his spelling and took less pains to make it clear , he would do better ; but he put so many unnecessary letters into short words that they sometimes quite lost their English appearance . `` He does it with the best intention , '' observed Caddy , `` but it has n't the effect he means , poor fellow ! '' Caddy then went on to reason , how could he be expected to be a scholar when he had passed his whole life in the dancing-school and had done nothing but teach and fag , fag and teach , morning , noon , and night ! And what did it matter ? She could write letters enough for both , as she knew to her cost , and it was far better for him to be amiable than learned . `` Besides , it 's not as if I was an accomplished girl who had any right to give herself airs , '' said Caddy .
