`` When do you have dinner ? '' `` At six o'clock . We used to have it in the middle of the day , but it was inconvenient to some of our boarders , and we changed it . '' `` We have dinner to hum , where I live , at noon , '' said Abner . `` We have lunch at half-past twelve , if you choose to come . '' `` I guess we will , '' said Abner . `` We 'll go out and take a walk , Mr. Barker , and come back in time . ''
