midnight
be honest -- be honest ! Say at once you shunned me lest I should mark your altered habits in your altered face . But I know it all , notwithstanding . It is no secret that Eugene Graham has more than once lent his presence to midnight carousals over the wine-cup . Once you were an example of temperance and rectitude , but vice is fashionable and patronized in this city , and your associates soon dragged you down from your proud height to their degraded level . The circle in which you move were not shocked at your fall . Ladies accustomed to hear of drunken revels ceased to attach disgrace to them , and you were welcomed and smiled upon , as though you were all a man should be .
