seven in
the morning
` Tai n't no use ter fret , Nancy , '' said Sue , `` she ai n't good fer much till after dinner , but I guess shell talk with ye then fast ` nough . '' `` But I 'm wild to get back to the cottage , '' wailed Nancy . `` Ye could n't git there ter-day , fer this is Sunday , and we do n't hev but two trains that stop here Sundays . One leaves here at half-past seven in the morning , an ' the other stops here at half-past nine at night , but that one goes ter the city , an ' that would be going right away from Merrivale . '' Nancy made no reply , but turned to look from the window . `` To-morrow will be Monday , and I _ must _ get back to school , '' she thought . It was late in the afternoon when Mrs. Ferris called Nancy to listen to what she had to say .
