Chapter 14 of Cannery Row (Kevin and Daniel)

  There are 2 soldiers and 2 girls who strolled easily along the street. Each girl wore a soldier's cap and the soldiers also wore the girls' hats.  They walked holding hands, swinging their hands rhythmically. They looked at one another and smiled and came to the park-like property of the Hopkins Marine Station. There is a tiny beach in front of the station. The girls sat down in the sand and then the soldiers lay down and put their heads in the girls' laps and looked up into their faces and they smiled at each other.
  However, they heard someone yelling at them. It's the watchman. The watchman told them that they could not lay around here, for it's a private property and they must leave. The soldiers seemed not to follow what the watchman told them to do. They kept smiling at girls and ignored that man. They didn't even see the caretaker go back to his house.
