midnight
Madame de Camors perceived without doubt some remote connection between her husband and Faust -- between herself and Marguerite ; for she could not help showing that she was strangely agitated . She could not restrain the violence of her emotion , when Marguerite in prison cries out , in her agony and madness : Marguerite . Who has given you , headsman , this power over me ? You come to me while it is yet midnight . Be merciful and let me live . Is not to-morrow morning soon enough ? I am yet so young -- so young !
