midnight
_ Chapter 29 _ Helena was dozing down in the cove at Tintagel . She and Louisa and Olive lay on the cool sands in the shadow , and steeped themselves in rest , in a cool , sea-fragrant tranquillity . The journey down had been very tedious . After waiting for half an hour in the midnight turmoil of an August Friday in Waterloo station , they had seized an empty carriage , only to be followed by five north-countrymen , all of whom were affected by whisky . Olive , Helena , Louisa , occupied three corners of the carriage . The men were distributed between them . The three women were not alarmed .
