midnight
_ A. _ A beautiful episode , for which receive my best thanks . But , Barnstaple , I have very few effective passages as yet . I have remodelled several descriptions of mountains , precipices , waterfalls , and such wonders of the creation -- expressed my contempt and surprise at the fear acknowledged by other travellers , in several instances . I have lost my way twice -- met three wolves -- been four times benighted -- and indebted to lights at a distance for a bed at midnight , after the horses have refused to proceed . All is incident , and I am quite hard up for description . Now , I have marked down a fine passage in -- 's work -- a beautiful description of a cathedral , with a grand procession . -LRB- _ Reads .
