mother left me at the store to go to the pencil factory, promising to come right back; and after waiting at the store for about ten minutes, I decided to walk toward the pencil factory to meet my mother; and, upon arriving at the factory, inasmuch as I did not meet my mother, I entered the factory and went to the second floor near the time clocks, one of which registered fifteen minutes until twelve o'clock, noon, and the other one showed thirteen minutes after twelve o'clock.
