midnight
`` It has been a pretty game of love for you and the excellent Baldos . You have deceived those who love you best and trust you most . What will the princess say when she hears of last night 's merry escapade ? What will she say when she learns who was hostess to a common guardsman at the midnight hour ? It is no wonder that you look terrified . It is for you to say whether she is to know or not . You can bind me to silence .
