noon
Think you not it would be a pity to leave the women to carve it ? ' ` My son Jack , ' replied Master Stickles , ` never was I in such quarters yet : and God forbid that I should be so unthankful to Him as to hurry away . And now I think on it , Friday is not a day upon which pious people love to commence an enterprise . I will choose the young pig to-morrow at noon , at which time they are wont to gambol ; and we will celebrate his birthday by carving him on Friday . After that we will gird our loins , and set forth early on Saturday . ' Now this was little better to me than if we had set forth at once . Sunday being the very first day upon which it would be honourable for me to enter Glen Doone .
