Midnight
Both artillery and infantry were up , and there was nothing for them to do but wait . The officers dismounted and naturally those who led the Invincibles kept close together . The wait was long . Midnight came , and then the hours after it passed one by one . It was late in the year , the eighteenth of October , and the night was chill . The heavy fog which hung low made it chillier . Harry as he stood by his horse felt it cold and damp on his face , but it was a true friend for all that .
