noon
They passed another night in peace , and the next morning , at daybreak as usual , they breakfasted , and then set out on their fourth and last day 's journey . Again the map and the pocket compass was called into requisition , and Mr. Berners laid out their route for the day . Their way lay all that forenoon through the beautifully undulating , heavily wooded , and well-watered country lying east of the Blue Ridge . As before , they broke their journey by an hour 's repose at noon , and then re-commenced it . And at twelve , midnight , they arrived safely at Norfolk . Oh , death were welcome ! -- COLERIDGE .
