midnight
Since the murdered bodies had been found lying in the Bergenstrasse , it was only right that the city should be well guarded . The soldiers themselves grumbled somewhat . Fighting was their trade , and they were discontented at being made a city watch . Beyond a late reveller or two no one was out after midnight . What was the use of all this precaution ? In the smaller streets there was even greater silence . Where one might have expected to find whatever dissatisfaction existed in the city , there was only the greater peace .
