noon
`` Have you got the responsibility even to run your own house , with me and Etta carrying it on like always ? '' `` Am I complaining ? '' `` Do I ask of you one thing , Sadie , except maybe that you learn a little housekeeping and watch how I order from the butcher , things that every wife should know if she needs it or not ? In the whole year you been my daughter , Sadie , have I asked of you more than you should maybe help the up-stairs girl a little mornings , and do a little embroidery for your linen-chest , and that maybe , instead of sleeping so late till noon every morning , you should get up and have breakfast with your husband ? '' `` If you begin going over all that again I -- I 'll just yell ! '' `` With anybody pouting in the house I just ` ai n't got heart to do nothing . I do n't see , Sadie , that you had such fine connections in the East that you should n't be satisfied here . ''
