about one o'clock
We therefore ate a breakfast of such food as could be most quickly prepared , then packed up our luggage , and began our long trip back home , through the woods . It was far from being a pleasant walk . The zest and anticipation of our outing had departed . We plodded drearily on and reached Clear Pond at about one o'clock . Here , after a hasty lunch , Addison ran on ahead , to reach home and come back with the team . The entire burden of the baskets , guns , etc. , now fell on Tom , Willis and me ; the girls were tired , and we got on slowly . At last , after two or three hours , we heard Addison coming along the winter road with the horses and wagon , while still at a considerable distance .
