noon
`` I 've fed them , Mother , and ca n't Dot and Twaddles take them some milk this noon ? Miss Mason wants us to stay and practice the songs for Thanksgiving . '' Norah had put up a neat little lunch for Meg and another for Bobby and the twins were almost beside themselves with envy . Would the time ever come , they thought , when they could go to school and sometimes have to stay over the noon hour and not come home to lunch ? They were sure there could be nothing more exciting , except the actual going to school , than taking one 's lunch in a boy and eating it with a crowd of other hungry children . `` Let 's go see the kittens , '' Twaddles suggested , as soon as Bobby and Meg had gone . Dot trotted after him to the garage .
