midnight
It is a Brotherhood that lives there , -- not of the Church -- ah no ! Heaven forbid ! -- but they are rich and powerful men -- and it is said they study some strange science -- our traders serve them only at the outer gates and never go beyond . And in the midnight one hears the organ playing in their chapel , and there is a sound of singing on the very waves of the sea ! I beg of you , Mademoiselle , think well of what you do before you go to such a place ! -- for they will send you away -- I am sure they will send you away ! '' I smiled and thanked her for her well-meant warning .
