noon
Excuse me , if I have made a blunder . '' `` I do , '' answered Margaret , `` and would like to go with you if I can earn good wages . '' `` I will see that you are well remunerated , provided you suit me . I shall go to-morrow , in the noon train . If I do not succeed in getting any others beside yourself , will you meet me at the station ? '' Margaret replied in the affirmative , and retraced her steps , pondering upon how she should secrete herself during the intervening period . She walked rapidly back to her home , and thought how fortunate it was that her room-mates were absent that night , and good Mrs. Crawford would never suspect that the quiet girl up stairs was planning how she could escape with her clothing .
