midnight
And , and , I believe he loves me true , whatever happens ! But , just as I said I 'd go back with him , I thought of Blaisette , her that I hated and yet her that I pitied . And I asked him who was with her on lonely Lihou Isle . Him , he only laughed , and said she was all right ; he 'd be back before midnight . But there was n't a soul in Guernsey would go to mind her , for love or money , so it was no use bothering , he said , and again he laughed . And then I was frightened . He seemed like the devil , so cruel about his poor wife .
