noon
Or the man who keeps it does . We was to put the horse up there an ' leave it till time to go home again . Then we was to walk around the city an ' see the sights . ` Bout noon she reckoned ` twould be a good plan to go to what they call the ` Headquarters , ' where General George Washington lived at , when he fit into the Revolution . I 've been readin ' about that in the History she give me and I 'd admire to stand on the spot he stood on once . There 's a big yard around the house and benches for folks to sit on , and a well o ' water for 'em to drink ; and nobody has to pay for settin ' nor drinkin ' , nary one . All the folks want you to do , and you do n't have to do it , you ai n't really obleeged , is to go inside a room an ' write your name and where you come from in a ` Visitors ' Book . '
