midnight
The Signor and I have done the work of six during the last few hours . The creditors are not aware of my acquaintance with you , and I have assumed this disguise to prevent them from discovering it . The Signor has had a talk with Tulee , and told her to keep very quiet , and not tell any mortal that she ever saw me at your father 's house . A passage for you and Madame is engaged on board a vessel bound to Nassau , which will sail at midnight . Soon , after I leave this house , Madame 's cousin , Mr. Duroy , will come with two boys . You and Madame will assume their dresses , and they will put on some clothes the Signor has already sent , in such boxes as Madame is accustomed to receive , full of materials for her flowers . All , excepting ourselves , will suppose you have gone North , according to the original plan , in order that they may swear to that effect if they are brought to trial .
