midnight
Rouen , Hotel Continental . It is done ; it is done -- but is He dead ? My mind is thoroughly upset by what I have seen . Well then , yesterday , the locksmith having put on the iron shutters and door , I left everything open until midnight , although it was getting cold . Suddenly I felt that He was there , and joy , mad joy took possession of me . I got up softly , and I walked to the right and left for some time , so that He might not guess anything ; then I took off my boots and put on my slippers carelessly ; then I fastened the iron shutters and going back to the door quickly I double-locked it with a padlock , putting the key into my pocket . Suddenly I noticed that He was moving restlessly round me , that in his turn He was frightened and was ordering me to let Him out .
