noon
Nancy secured a much-needed night 's rest at the home of the Morris family , and was up and had the kettle boiling on the range before the appearance of the household . `` I 'd no enjoy the day at all if I was n't doin ' somethin' o ' the sort ! An ' ye 're tired , '' she responded to Mr. Morris ' surprised ejaculation . She had to curb her anxiety to be off until after the noon hour , and then , with a promise to return , if her plans miscarried , she was piloted aboard the Overhead by Mr. Morris . `` I 'll drop you off in front of the block in which your son 's offices are situated , '' he informed her by the way . The run through the city was perhaps a distance of four miles , and while Nancy gazed in open-mouthed wonder , the little man pointed out to her the places of note along the route . `` It 's all just wonderful , '' was the text of her replies .
