noon
No time must be lost in showing Boston to Katy , Rose said . So the morning after her arrival she was taken in bright and early to see the sights . There were not quite so many sights to be seen then as there are today . The Art Museum had not got much above its foundations ; the new Trinity Church was still in the future ; but the big organ and the bronze statue of Beethoven were in their glory , and every day at high noon a small straggling audience wandered into Music Hall to hear the instrument played . To this extempore concert Katy was taken , and to Faneuil Hall and the Athenaeum , to Doll and Richards 's , where was an exhibition of pictures , to the Granary Graveyard , and the Old South . Then the girls did a little shopping ; and by that time they were quite tired enough to make the idea of luncheon agreeable , so they took the path across the Common to the Joy Street Mall . Katy was charmed by all she had seen .
