about noon
Then one day he asked me to come with him to the place again : he wanted to see if the box was there , and if anybody lived in the house . I did not want to see the box , but I wanted to know if any one lived there , so I came with him . It was about a year after we had found the dead men and the money . It was a Sunday , and we got to the place about noon , for we started early . Everything was like we had left it , and it did not look as if any one had been to the house . The box was there , and it was open ; and then I noticed that there was some writing on a piece of paper inside the lid . It must have been there when we saw the box before , but we had not noticed it .
