midnight
Would Jennifer believe my tale , though I should swear it out word for word on the Holy Evangelists ? I doubted it ; and striving to see it through his eyes , was made to doubt it more . For death should have been my justifier , and death had played me false . As for setting the midnight marriage aside , I made sure the lawyer tribe could find a way , if that were all . But here there was a loyal daughter of the Church to reckon with . Loathing her bonds , as any true-hearted maiden must , would Margery consent to have them broken by the law ? I knew well she would not .
