noon
We drove the way I had walked up with Falkenberg , and I recognized place after place as we passed . There and there he had tuned the pianos ; there we had heard the grey goose passing ... . The sun came up , and it grew warmer ; the hours went by ; then , coming to cross-roads , the ladies knocked at the window and said it was dinner-time . I could see by the sun it was too early for the ladies ' dinner-time , though well enough for me , seeing I took my dinner with Falkenberg at noon . So I drove on . `` Ca n't you stop ? '' they cried .
