An hour after midnight
Two red spots showed in his forehead , and I could have kissed those two red spots . `` In the evening after the hunt I went to seek him in the garden , and I was afraid lest I should find him . I spoke his name softly to myself , and feared lest he should hear . Then he came out from the bushes and whispered : ` An hour after midnight ! ' And then he was gone . `` ` An hour after midnight , ' I said to myself -- ` what did he mean by that ? I can not understand .
