midnight
Judith had no doubt whatever that Christine was obeying an order from Cluny , and Jessy Ruleson said she was glad the lass had found a master , she had always had too much o ' her ain ill way . For nearly three months Christine lived a quiet , methodical life , undisturbed by any outside influence , and free from all care . She rose very early , finding creative writing always easiest before noon . She went to bed very early , knowing that the sleep before midnight is the renewing sleep , and she hemmed the day , night and morn , with prayer , to keep it from unraveling . All that could happen between these two prayers was provided for , and she gave herself heart and soul to the delightful toil of story-writing . She wrote as she felt . She used the dialect and idioms of her people when it was necessary , and no one checked her for it .
