about twelve o'clock
What if the Good Shepherd were about to take her , His poor little motherless lamb , to a green pasture , a quiet , restful home , where she might be taught more of the Good Shepherd 's love ? How Rosalie prayed that it might indeed be so ! And then she summoned courage and went on . It was about twelve o'clock when she reached Melton . The country people were most of them having their dinner , and few people were in the village street . With a beating heart the child pressed on . Soon she came in sight of the little cottage , before which the caravan had stood when she and her mother were there a year ago .
