noon
`` La patroon ? Dammy , I 'm an old woman ! Get me my knitting ! I want my knitting and a sunny spot to mumble my gums and wait for noon and a dish o ' porridge ! ... George , my rents are cut in half , and half my farms left to the briers and wolves in one day , because his Majesty , General Schuyler , orders his Highness , Colonel Dayton , to call out half the militia to make a fort for his Eminence , Colonel Gansevoort ! '' `` At Stanwix ? '' `` They call it Fort Schuyler now -- after his Highness in Albany .
