midnight
`` ` Gad , it makes me sleepy to look down that street . It 's a mile to the hotel , too , Lorry . We 'd better move along . '' `` Let 's lie down near the hedge , smoke another cigar and wait till midnight . It is too glorious a night to be lost in sleep , '' urged Lorry , whose heart was light over the joys of the day to come . `` I can dream just as well here , looking at that dark old castle with its one little tower-light , as I could if I tried to sleep in a hard bed down at the hotel . '' Anguish , who was more or less of a dreamer himself , consented , and , after lighting fresh cigars , they threw themselves on the soft , dry grass near the tall hedge that fenced the avenue as it neared the castle grounds .
