midnight
Thence I bring her hither that here we may be wed. . Now this is my mind : if thou wilt aid me with a ship and men , that at the first light of dawn we should flee this land of thine , and that thou shouldest keep my going secret for awhile till I have gained the sea . True it is that I swore to guard the Queen till Pharaoh come again ; but as thou knowest , things are so that I can best guard her by my flight , and if Pharaoh thinks ill of me -- so it must be . Moreover I ask thee to meet me by the pylon of the Temple of Hathor to-morrow at one hour before midnight . There will we talk with her who is called the Hathor , and prepare our flight , and thence thou shalt go to that ship which thou hast made ready . '' Now Rei thought for awhile and answered : `` Somewhat I fear to look upon this Goddess , yet I will dare it . Tell me , then , how shall I know her at the temple 's gate ? ''
