about noon
CHR . But did you not see the house that stood there on the top of the hill , on the side of which Moses met you ? FAITH . Yes , and the lions too , before I came at it : but for the lions , I think they were asleep , for it was about noon ; and because I had so much of the day before me , I passed by the porter , and came down the hill . CHR . He told me , indeed , that he saw you go by , but I wish you had called at the house , for they would have showed you so many rarities , that you would scarce have forgot them to the day of your death . But pray tell me , Did you meet nobody in the Valley of Humility ?
