midnight
`` You can flatter , Sir Knight , '' he said , `` but you escape me not . I must know more from you than you have yet told me . Saw you my royal consort when at Engaddi ? '' `` To my knowledge -- no , my lord , '' replied Sir Kenneth , with considerable perturbation , for he remembered the midnight procession in the chapel of the rocks . `` I ask you , '' said the King , in a sterner voice , `` whether you were not in the chapel of the Carmelite nuns at Engaddi , and there saw Berengaria , Queen of England , and the ladies of her Court , who went thither on pilgrimage ? '' `` My lord , '' said Sir Kenneth , `` I will speak the truth as in the confessional . In a subterranean chapel , to which the anchorite conducted me , I beheld a choir of ladies do homage to a relic of the highest sanctity ; but as I saw not their faces , nor heard their voices , unless in the hymns which they chanted , I can not tell whether the Queen of England was of the bevy .
