about midnight
The evening passes pleasantly , though at times Paul feels a creepy sense of dread . He is loth to leave . From mute signs he concludes it is better to go . Paul hurries away about midnight . Within half an hour the rooms occupied by Sir Charles and Agnes are vacated . Two figures in male attire enter a closed conveyance , and are driven rapidly in an opposite direction from that taken by Paul Lanier . Sir Donald Randolph and Esther remained several months at Paris .
