midnight
Instead of exchanging vows of love , we held a council of war . Everything is arranged . In an hour my servants will come and ask for the portrait of my betrothed bride ; instead of the picture , you will put your baggage in the chest . Before midnight you will come to my apartments . I have passports for myself , six servants , the equerry , and a chaplain . Father Clement will remain safely concealed at my sister 's , and you will accompany me in priestly costume . May we rely upon your consent ? ''
