midday
I never saw anything like it ! '' `` Aye , 't is wonderful fine , '' said Toby . Even in the full rays of sunshine the snow along shore did not soften , and the ice kept dry . Charley declared that it was no warmer at midday than it had been in the early morning . It was nearly one o'clock when they rounded the point above Double Up Cove , and the cabin fell into view . Smoke was curling upward from the stovepipe which protruded above the roof . How cozy and hospitable it looked !
