midnight
` Now , by the Mother of God , ' Katharine Howard said , ` this is the gladdest day of my life . ' ` Pray you , ' Mary said , ` get you gone from my sight and hearing , for I endure ill the appearance and sound of joy . And , Queen , again I bid you beware of calling any day fortunate till its close . For , before midnight you may be ruined utterly . I have known more Queens than thou . Thou art the fifth I have known . ' She added -- ` For the rest , what you will I will do : submission to the King and such cozening as he will ask of me .
