noon sharp
But the breakfast bell rung jest then , and I took the little warm hand in mine and led her down to breakfast . Well , after breakfast Josiah and I sot out in good season for Jerusalem . Molly wanted to go to the British Building to see a school friend of hern that she thought might be there , and Blandina offered to accompany her . They wuz goin ' to stop at a number of places on the way , and we agreed to meet at noon sharp at the English Building . We went into the walled city of Jerusalem by the Jaffa Gate , through a tall arched entrance in the stun wall . Within wuz lots of carriages and horses and camels and donkeys and men , wimmen and children , some in strange and startlin ' costooms , but the first thing Josiah spoke on wuz the name of a restaurant , `` A Fast , '' it wuz over a door clost by . `` A fast , '' sez he , `` that do n't look very encouragin ' in a eatin ' house .
