noon
All except Sam , mebby . Sam had spells when he was real sensible , and other spells when he was as bad as the believingest of them all . It was a fine day , and really joyous to be a-walking . It would of been a good deal joyouser if we had had some breakfast , but we figgered we would stop somewheres at noon and lay in a good , square , country meal . That was n't such a very thick settled country . But everybody seemed to know about the manhunt that was going on , here , there , and everywhere . People would come down to the road side as we passed , and gaze after us .
