midnight
One of the servants went out . `` Fadrique , '' said Don John , `` leave out my riding-cloak . I may like to walk on the terrace in the moonlight , and it is cold . Have my drink ready at midnight and wait for me . Send Gil to sleep , for he was up last night . '' There was a strange pleasure in hearing his familiar orders and small directions and in seeing how thoughtful he was for his servants . She knew that he had always refused to be surrounded by valets and gentlemen-in-waiting , and lived very simply when he could , but it was different to be brought into such close contact with his life .
