noon
It was quite clear that Powers 's interest went no further . He had a wife and two children and his own ambitions . For a long time she saw no more of him than she saw of Blake . He nodded a good-morning when he came in , and then seemed to lose himself until noon . Where he lunched she did not know . For a while she had rather looked for him , and then , to cure herself of that , had changed her own luncheon place . At night he generally hurried out early -- a bad practice in itself : at least once , Farnsworth had wanted him for something after he was gone ; he had made no comment , but it was the sort of thing Farnsworth remembered .
