midnight
And that evening as we were regarding some merchandise in a bazaar , a fellow sidles up to me , and whispers -LRB- fingering a piece of cloth as if he were minded to buy it -RRB- : `` Does all go well ? '' Then perceiving this was Joe Groves , I answered in the same manner : `` All goes well . '' `` To-morrow at midnight ? '' `` To-morrow at midnight , '' I return . Upon which , casting down the cloth , he goes away without further sign . And now comes in the feast of Ramadah with a heavy , steady downpour of rain all day , and no sign of ceasing at sundown , which greatly contented us . About ten , the house we lodged in being quite still , and our fear of accident pressing us to depart , we crept silently out into the street without let or hindrance -LRB- though I warrant some spy of Mohand 's was watching to carry information of our flight to his master -RRB- , and so through the narrow deserted alleys to the outskirts of the town , and thence by the river side to the great rock , with only just so much light as enabled us to hang together , and no more .
