midnight
She was not hungry , and she was glad when the good soul was gone . She could open the windows when she was alone , and look out into the silent street . There was moonlight now , and it fell across the walls and trees of the Villa Aurora upon her face . It was a young moon , that would set before midnight , but it was very clear and bright , and the sky was infinitely deep and very clear behind it . Regina fancied that if there were really angels in heaven , she should be able to see them on such a night . If she had been in Trastevere she would have gone out to walk up and down the old paved paths of the little garden , for she could not sleep , though she was so tired . The lamp disturbed her and she put it out , and sat down by the window again .
