midnight
`` Concealed within the hut on Thorne Waste . You know it -- it was one of your haunts . '' `` I know it well , '' said Dick , `` and Conkey Jem , its keeper , into the bargain : he is a knowing file . I 'll join you at the hut at midnight , if all goes well . We 'll bring off the wench , in spite of them all -- just the thing I like . But in case of a break-down on my part , suppose you take charge of my purse in the mean time . '' Luke would have declined this offer .
