midnight
All I need say is that when you gain Dora 's consent , you shall have mine . '' `` Thank you . '' Mr. Thauret said this with suppressed emotion , and after that neither man spoke until they said good-night at Mr. Mitchel 's hotel . Mr. Thauret , upon reaching his own room , smoked a cigar , and blew little ringlets over his head , thus occupying himself till long after midnight . He seemed to be building castles , and from the satisfied expression on his face , they must have been grand ones . Thus matters stood when the day dawned upon which the marriage was to occur . Everything was bustle and confusion at the home of the Remsens .
