midnight
For you well know that at mid-night we must be over there in the green summer-house , and it is a long way there . '' `` Yes , yes , at midnight ! '' muttered the king . `` At midnight the carnival is at an end ; and we shall tear off our mask , and show our wrathful countenance to the criminals ! At midnight we must be over in the green summer-house . Yes , Douglas , we must make haste ; for it would be cruel to let the tender Surrey wait still longer . So we will give his Geraldine liberty to leave the feast ; and we ourselves must begin our journey .
