eleven o'clock
Then came breakfast , an event in itself , for the food was delicious , especially to such ravenous appetites as the girls and Walter brought back to it , and the beautiful dining-room of the hotel was a treat to the eye . After breakfast the majority of the guests sallied forth to the delights of motoring or sailing or tennis , while the others either lingered on the porch or sauntered over to the golf links to play a game of golf , or , if anglers , went out on a fishing excursion . The golf course was between the two hotels , so that the players not only furnished amusement for themselves but for all those who cared to watch them . Later in the morning , somewhere between eleven o'clock and noon , was the hour for bathing . Then all who cared to go in the water made a dash for the ocean , and had a cool , invigorating plunge before luncheon . This was the hour that Nan liked best of all . Later in the afternoon , one could either go over to the cocoanut grove for afternoon tea and a dance or two or take what was in many cases a much-needed rest .
