midnight
But it is doubtful if Salome even saw this , or knew what hour , what season it was ! A rough night followed . Wrapped in her shawl , absorbed in her dream , Salome remained on deck , unaffected by the weather , and indifferent to its consequences , although more than once the captain approached and kindly advised her to go below . It was after midnight when the boat reached her pier at Calais . In the same dream Salome left her seat and landed among the sea-sick crowd . In the same dream she allowed the custom-house officers to tumble out the contents of her little valise , and satisfied , without cavil , all their demands , and answered without hesitation all the questions put to her by the officials . In the same dream she made her way to a carriage on the railway train just about to start for Paris .
