noon
Then did it happen , about the fourth day after my arrival . I spent my leisure hours in the studio ; I carved little figures , formed little pillar heads from the white plaster . In the corner a big barrel stood filled with water . It was noon ; the laborers went to lunch . I sat down close to the barrel and carved a Corinthian pillar . Father came into the studio and did not notice me . He carried in his hands two plates of soup .
