midnight
`` What mummery is this , mine host ? '' said Tressilian . `` Have you supped as jollily as last night , and so mistaken your chamber ? or is midnight a time for masquerading it in your guest 's lodging ? '' `` Master Tressilian , '' replied mine host , `` I know my place and my time as well as e'er a merry landlord in England . But here has been my hang-dog kinsman watching you as close as ever cat watched a mouse ; and here have you , on the other hand , quarrelled and fought , either with him or with some other person , and I fear that danger will come of it . '' `` Go to , thou art but a fool , man , '' said Tressilian .
