midnight
This reserved answer made Savinien reflect , and he then remembered the kisses so thoughtlessly wafted . Night came ; the heat was great . Savinien and the doctor went to sleep first . Ursula , whose head was full of projects , did not succumb till midnight . She had taken off her straw-bonnet , and her head , covered with a little embroidered cap , dropped upon her uncle 's shoulder . When they reached Bouron at dawn , Savinien awoke . He then saw Ursula in the slight disarray naturally caused by the jolting of the vehicle ; her cap was rumpled and half off ; the hair , unbound , had fallen each side of her face , which glowed from the heat of the night ; in this situation , dreadful for women to whom dress is a necessary auxiliary , youth and beauty triumphed .
