noon
I was n't awake when Dorry started for Kingston in the morning , so I did n't hear him go . But I knew when he came back all right . If I had n't known it , it would have been because I was dead . He got back before noon and the first I saw of him he was sitting on a big , high fancy seat of a cage wagon , wedged in alongside a great big man with a high hat on and a cutaway coat and a red Vest . The big man was driving and the two horses had sleigh bells on them and fancy harness and they made an awful racket . They were dandy white horses , though . Dorry looked awful scared and little alongside the big man .
