midnight
`` So the vultures , it seems , have not turned up yet and made their roost in my nest . Most kind of you to stay home and give up your business to meet me ! You know Colonel Talbot Rutter , of Moorlands , I presume , and Mr. Harry Rutter -- Of course you do ! Harry has told me all about your midnight meeting when you took him for a constable , and he took you for a thief . No -- please do n't laugh , Pawson -- Mr. Rutter is the worst kind of a thief . Not only has he stolen my heart because of his goodness to me , but he threatens to make off with my body . Give me your hand , Todd .
