about noon
I must tell you , though , that Miss Clara Emily is getting very much in earnest , and every one is noticing it , and Uncle seems pleased . We all played cards to-day and wrote letters and Lee told Ellsworth Grimm he was a blank idiot under his breath . I do n't know what was the trouble , and Lee says it is n't any of my business , but I think we are all getting cross from being shut up so much in this little country hotel . Elfrida and her sister arrived about noon , but there was n't any spare room under two francs , and so they went to the other hotel . Ellsworth Grimm has gone to the other hotel , too . He says it rains in his ceiling and he 's afraid he 'll get pneumonia . It 's getting awful about poor Clara and Mr. Brewer , for he said something about her to-day that almost killed her , and that is so bad that she wo n't repeat it to me .
