midnight
-- a planned , deliberate robbery -- an ungrateful , infamous breach of trust ! That man -- that ! he who rejects the money he does not earn , even when pressed on him by anxious imploring friends -- he who has now gone voluntarily forth , aged and lonely , to wring his bread from the humblest calling rather than incur the risk of injuring the child with whose existence he had charged himself ! -- the dark midnight thief ! Believe him not , though his voice may say it . To screen , perhaps , some other man , he is telling you a noble lie . But what of him ?
