noon
`` That 's what I am , and it 's a mighty good place . Say , that trip sure made me dizzy . '' Indeed there is a curious feeling about being dropped twenty stories in a swift elevator , and Roy might well be excused for his sensation . However , he soon recovered himself , and , as it was noon time , and he had a good appetite , he looked about for a place to get something to eat . He noticed a small restaurant nearby , and went in . Instead of seeing tables set out in the place , he beheld rows of chairs , with one arm made very large , so that it served as a shelf on which to place plates , cups and saucers . In fact it was a chair and table combined .
