noon
Here little Caleb , who had been sitting up very straight , and looking eagerly at his grandmother and at the other boys , during the progress of the conversation , drew a long breath , and leaned back against the sofa , as if he felt a good deal relieved . `` And now , Dwight , there is one thing I have seen in you to-day , which gave me a great deal of pleasure , and another which gave me pain . '' `` What , mother , '' said Dwight . `` Why , after I talked with you at noon , about teasing Caleb , you began to treat him very kindly . That gave me a great deal of pleasure . I saw that your heart was somewhat changed in regard to Caleb ; for you seemed to take pleasure in making him happy , while before you took delight in making him miserable . '' Dwight looked gratified and pleased while his mother was saying these things .
