midnight
said Lord Holme . He looked suddenly less triumphant . His blunt features seemed altered in shape by the expression of blatant , boyish surprise , even amazement , that overspread them . His wife saw that , despite the incident of Leo Ulford 's midnight visit , Fritz had not really suspected her of the uttermost faithlessness , that it had not occurred to him that perhaps her love for him was dead , that love was alive in her for another man . Had his conceit then no limits ? And then suddenly another thought flashed into her mind . Was he , too , a firm , even a fanatical , believer in the angel ?
