noon
Coming home Tuesday . Will wire train . David . '' It was high noon on a gloriously sunshiny Indian summer day in November ; one of the last fond concessions of Mother Nature to those who still mourn her departed `` darling of the year . '' In a stately church on Chapel Hill , Golden Summer was at high noon in two hearts . To Tom Gray and Grace Harlowe , as they knelt for a moment before the altar , preparatory to taking their vows of eternal constancy and devotion , the world held but those two . In the sweet silence that pervaded the overflowing church , the two young voices rang out clearly as they repeated their solemn pledges .
