midnight
Was it the abruptness of this vision that thus confounded me ? was it a latent error in my moral constitution , which this new conjuncture drew forth into influence ? These were all the tokens of a mind lost to itself ; bewildered ; unhinged ; plunged into a drear insanity . Nothing less could have prompted so fantastically ; for , midnight as it was , my chamber 's solitude was not to be supported . After a few turns across the floor , I left the room , and the house . I walked without design and in a hurried pace . I posted straight to the house of Mrs. Fielding .
