noon
` What about Rose ? ' Mildred bit her lips , and Elsie could n't help thinking , ` How cruel she is , she likes to make that poor little thing miserable . It 's only vanity , for I do n't suppose she cares for Morton . ' Those who were painting in the adjoining fields and forest said they would be back to the second breakfast at noon , those who were going further , and whose convenience it did not suit to return , took sandwiches with them . Morton was talking to Rose , but Mildred soon got his attention . ` You 're going to paint in the forest , ' she said , ` I wonder what your picture is like : you have n't shown it to me . ' ` It 's all packed up .
