About two o'clock
`` The Queen of the Clouds stays in the King of the Rain 's hut to-night , '' they muttered , angrily . `` She will not listen to us . Before morning , be sure , the Tempest will be born of their meeting to destroy us . '' About two o'clock there came a lull in the wind , which had been rising steadily ever since that lurid sunset . Felix looked out of the hut door . The moon was full . It was almost as clear as day with the bright tropical moonlight , silvery in the open , pale green in the shadow .
