midnight
He spent the whole evening with me and seemed as calm as the Mediterranean . But what astonished me most was , that this calmness was not at all affected . It was genuine indifference . At midnight we went home . ` You seem surprised at my coolness in the position in which I find myself , ' said he to me , ` well , let me point out a comparison to you , my dear fellow , it if is commonplace it has , at least , the merit of being accurate . My heart is like a cistern the tap of which has been turned on all night , in the morning not a drop of water is left . My heart is really the same , last night I wept away all the tears that were left me .
