midnight
I was happy then . On our journey home we were chased by a bear . I do n't think that the bear would have hurt us , but the scent of him frightened the horse and made him run like a deer . `` Well , we portaged a stream at midnight , just as the moon was going down . We made our curtilage here , and here we lived happy until husband died of a fever . I 'm a middlin ' good woman . I go to all the meetin 's round , and wake 'em up .
