twelve o’clock
But lest I should retain any sort of former love for _ Philander _ , whom I am impatient to rase wholly from my soul , I grant you all you ask , provided you will be discreet in the management : _ Antonet _ therefore shall only be trusted with the secret ; the outward gate you shall find at twelve only shut to , and _ Antonet _ wait you at the stairs-foot to conduct you to me ; come alone . I blush and gild the paper with their reflections , at the thought of an encounter like this , before I am half enough secured of your heart . And that you may be made more absolutely the master of mine , send me immediately _ Philander _ ' . letter enclosed , that if any remains of chagrin possess me , they may be totally vanquished by twelve o'clock . SYLVIA . She having , with much difficulty , writ this , read it to her trusty confidante ; for this was the only secret of her lady 's she was resolved never to discover to _ Brilliard _ , and to the end he might know nothing of it she sealed the letter with wax : but before she sealed it , she told her lady , she thought she might have spared abundance of her blushes , and have writ a less kind letter ; for a word of invitation or consent would have served as well . To which _ Sylvia _ replied , her anger against him was too high not to give him all the defeat imaginable , and the greater the love appeared , the greater would be the revenge when he should come to know -LRB- as in time he should -RRB- how like a false friend she had treated him .
