noon
`` I 'm going to float about a bit to-day , '' she said , and her feet were fairly dancing . `` I 've only known New York before holding to Aunt Dorrie 's hand or my nurse 's . Today I 'm going to go back alone and then -- catch up with myself . '' Suddenly she began to sing her old graduation song : `` I 'll sail upon the Dog-star I 'll sail upon the Dog-star ; I 'll chase the moon , till it be noon , But I 'll make her leave her horning . `` I 'll climb the frosty mountain And there I 'll coin the weather . I 'll tear the rainbow from the sky And tie both ends together . '' Sylvia leaned back , clapping and laughing .
