noon
Judith crawled out of the blankets , took Doug by the arm , and pushed him down in the warm nest she had left . Then she covered him carefully . `` It 's my turn now , '' she said . He slept until noon . When he woke , Judith was making coffee , and the little wild mare was munching oats with the other horses . The Wolf Cub was gnawing on a bone , and the sun sifted brilliantly through the cedars . Douglas got to his feet stiffly and Judith looked up at him from her cooking with a smile .
