midnight
Bill sat up with a start . `` By Jove , you mean that he will go out at the far end by the bowling-green ? '' `` Do n't you think so ? Just imagine him walking across the lawn in full view of the house , at midnight , with a body in his arms . Think of the awful feeling he would have in the back of the neck , wondering if anybody , any restless sleeper , had chosen just that moment to wander to the window and look out into the night . There 's still plenty of moonlight , Bill . Is he going to walk across the park in the moonlight , with all those windows staring at him ?
