midnight
Then I played another game , declaring that he did not love me sufficiently to make such a sacrifice , and at last taking a dramatic farewell of him . He allowed me to get almost to the gates of the Bois , when he suddenly ran after me , and told me that he had a packet of documents for which he could obtain a large sum abroad . He would take them , and myself , to Berlin by that night 's mail , and then we would go on to St. Petersburg , where he could easily dispose of the mysterious papers . So we met at the station at midnight , and by the same train travelled Bindo and M'sieurs Blythe and Henderson . In the carriage he told me where the precious papers were -- in a small leathern hand-bag -- and this fact I whispered to Blythe when he brushed past me in the corridor . At Pepinster , the junction for Spa , we both descended to obtain some refreshment , and when we returned to our carriage the Captain glanced reassuringly at his bag . Bindo passed along the corridor , and I knew the truth .
