noon
How well you like X -- ! Just at this moment how redolent of pleasant associations are its streets , its shops , its warehouses , its factories ! How the prospect of this day cheers you ! Letter-copying till noon , solitary dinner at your lodgings , letter-copying till evening , solitude ; for you neither find pleasure in Brown 's , nor Smith 's , nor Nicholl 's , nor Eccle 's company ; and as to Hunsden , you fancied there was pleasure to be derived from his society -- he ! he ! how did you like the taste you had of him last night ? was it sweet ?
