Ten o'clock
After supper they saw Kaluka to the boardwalk , and then strolled back along the beach to Asbury . The evening sea was a new sensation , for all its color and mellow age was gone , and it seemed the bleak waste that made the Norse sagas sad ; Amory thought of Kipling 's `` Beaches of Lukanon before the sealers came . '' It was still a music , though , infinitely sorrowful . Ten o'clock found them penniless . They had suppered greatly on their last eleven cents and , singing , strolled up through the casinos and lighted arches on the boardwalk , stopping to listen approvingly to all band concerts . In one place Kerry took up a collection for the French War Orphans which netted a dollar and twenty cents , and with this they bought some brandy in case they caught cold in the night . They finished the day in a moving-picture show and went into solemn systematic roars of laughter at an ancient comedy , to the startled annoyance of the rest of the audience .
