half past one
The Boarder and Lily Rose came in laden with refreshments . The Boarder bore a jug of cider `` right on the turn , '' he declared , `` so it stings your throat agoin ' down . '' Lily Rose had brought a bag of sugared doughnuts which she had made that afternoon -LRB- a half holiday -RRB- in her landlady 's kitchen . When Mrs. Jenkins learned from Amarilly that Derry and she had had nothing to eat since half past one , she brought forth a pan of beans and a pumpkin pie , and they had a genuine New England supper . The Boarder recited thrilling tales of railroad wrecks . Derry listened to a solo by Bud , whose wild-honeyed voice was entrancing to the young artist . Altogether they were a jolly little party , Lily Rose saying little , but looking and listening with animated eyes .
