noon
We went everywhere about the grounds , saw the riding-school , the mess-room , the dancing-hall and all , a lot of places . Oh ! yes , the library , too . Then it got noon and hungry-time and we 'd brought an elegant lunch . Cold chicken and sardines and sandwiches and early peaches -- the nicest we could get , and Tom 's ` leave ' gave him a chance to eat it with us . We asked him where we could and he thought a minute , then said in the church . Aunty Lu thought that was dreadful , to eat in a church !
