sat at midnight
The past was gone ; `` old things had passed away and all things had become new . '' The world was the same . Dan , with all his meanness , was in it . The saloon doors were open , the gamblers still sat at midnight at the Monte Carlo . Grizzly county had not changed , but he had . A new life was his . As he galloped down the road , far away he heard them singing : `` Palms of victory , crowns of glory , I shall wear , '' and a strange feeling came over him .
