midday
That was the bright spot in the day . Maggie was so strong and remote , walking with slow , sure steps down a hard road , carrying the dream within her . Ursula went through the class teaching as through a meaningless daze . Her class tumbled out at midday in haphazard fashion . She did not realize what host she was gathering against herself by her superior tolerance , her kindness and her laisseraller . They were gone , and she was rid of them , and that was all . She hurried away to the teachers ' room .
