midnight
We shall meet at lunch , I hope ? '' I bowed respectfully , but perhaps I looked a little doubtful . `` It really does n't do to take any notice of them , '' said my mother over her shoulder . So we took no notice of them ; my sister 's midnight flight to my room and to my arms was between her and me , and for all the world as though it has never been , save that it left behind it a little legacy of renewed kindliness and trust . For that much I was thankful ; but I could not forget the rest . A month later she was married to William Adolphus at Forstadt . The foreign tour I undertook in my eighteenth year has been sufficiently , or even more than sufficiently , described by the accomplished and courtly pen of Vohrenlorf 's secretary .
