noon
After dressing in the hay , I washed my face in cold water at the windmill . Breakfast was ready when I entered the kitchen , and Yulka was baking griddle-cakes . The three older boys set off for the fields early . Leo and Yulka were to drive to town to meet their father , who would return from Wilber on the noon train . `` We 'll only have a lunch at noon , '' Ántonia said , `` and cook the geese for supper , when our papa will be here . I wish my Martha could come down to see you . They have a Ford car now , and she do n't seem so far away from me as she used to .
