D'Aspre's daring was rewarded by his carrying La Biccocca at about mid-day, but the Duke of Genoa retook the position with the aid of the valorous 'Piemonte' brigade, and by two p.m.
Pierre, a young man of three-and-twenty, had lived rather fast, was already half-ruined, and could not hope to redeem Longueval. It was mid-day. In an hour it would have a new master, this old castle of Longueval; and this master, who would he be?
Barney's latter remark was addressed to his patient charger, from whose back he sprang as he spoke, and slackened its girths. It was now approaching mid-day, and the hermit had pitched upon a large tree as a fitting spot for rest and refreshment.

She moved mechanically with the shifting crowd, looking overhead as a captured German plane flew by, trying to comprehend the incomprehensible. But by mid-day the sober note of the crowds had risen to a higher pitch.
There is little noise without, abundant space, and no confusion. The open area devoted to the market is divided into three portions: the Calf Market, the Cattle Market, the Sheep Market. Calves at eight, cattle at ten, sheep at mid-day. All is very clean.
