nearly
ten o’clock
I have none about my class . It is not cultured and does not want to be . When Ascher had smoked his half cigarette we left the dining saloon and went to our special corner in the lounge . Ascher talked on till nearly ten o'clock about art and drama and music as if they were the only things of any interest or importance in the world . Then he went to bed . Gorman and I agreed that art , drama , and music are of very little importance and less interesting than anything else . Gorman 's weekly articles , quite the best things of their kind then being published , are all about art , so he has a perfect right to express his opinion .
