midnight
I will not have Canadian boatmen to row you to St. Valier : they would talk you out of all your errand before you were half-way there . You shall go to St. Valier by water , and return with La Corriveau by land . Do you understand ? Bring her in to-night , and not before midnight . I will leave the door ajar for you to enter without noise ; you will show her at once to my apartment , Fanchon ! Be wary , and do not delay , and say not a word to mortal ! '' `` I will not , my Lady .
