Daniel 13:7

And when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went in, and walked in her husband's orchard.

Noon, at which time the Jews dined, (ver. 13.; Jos.[Josephus?] vita) and the streets were as little frequented as they are at night among us. Hence the judges thought this a fit opportunity. (Calmet)
