midnight
`` Liot is in the shelter of God 's hand ; he need not fear what you can do to him . He can prove you liar far easier than you can prove him murderer . On the last day of Bele 's life Liot was at sea all day , and there were three men with him . He spent the evening with John Twatt and myself , and then sat until the midnight with Paul Borson . '' `` For all that , he was with Bele Trenby ! I know it ! My heart tells me so . ''
