nearly ten o'clock
Half of this hideous day remained to be got over . He sat dwelling on his grievances until the top of his head seemed about to fly off . Then he set to work to search for and collect dry logs and stow them under the willows , and in so doing managed to tire himself out . * * * * * It was dusk , which is to say nearly ten o'clock , when he awoke from another nap . A silence , astonishing after the day-long uproar , greeted his ears . The wind had gone down with the sun , and the world was enfolded in a delicious peace . The lake was like a polished floor .
