midday
Yet I longed for it . So we talked till the sun sank , and he must go ere darkness fell . But at last he bade me kneel , and I knelt , who had thought in my pride never to humble myself before mortal man again , till one dealt me my death blow and I needs must fall before him . So he blessed me and departed , bidding me remember that at sunrise and midday and sunset , Leofwine , the priest , and Turkil , the child , should remember me in their prayers . And , for he was very thoughtful , he told me that he would take such order with the collier that he would ask nought from me , nor must I offer him anything , save thanks . And he spoke to him in going . I watched him go till I could see him no more , and then , calling my host , supped with him , and slept peacefully till the first morning light .
