noon before
`` Blix -- how old are we ? '' `` I do n't care how old we are ; I think that trout will weigh two pounds . '' When they were calm again , they returned to their fishing . The morning passed , and it was noon before they were aware of it . By half-past twelve Blix had caught three trout , though the first was by far the heaviest . Condy had not had so much as a bite . At one o'clock they rowed ashore and had lunch under a huge live-oak in a little amphitheatre of manzanita .
