midday
It was a matter of small importance whether it was midday , ten o'clock or two o'clock . Yet , I was very pleased that it was midday . It would have been hard to say why , but such was the case . I knew that it was midday ; my watch told me so . What an affair ! It seemed to me that a watch was a sort of confidential friend of whom one could ask advice and to whom one could talk . `` Friend watch , what 's the time ? ''
