saw the garden, but when we went
back home Winthrop insisted that we
go by boat and not by the country

some day."
Il am sure he would" Laura replied.
Are you fond of a boat? You might
mention it to Hap. That's Johns boat

ocean that make this shore SO wonder

an old colonial topping riotous gar

ed pathway led uncompromisingly
straight to the house, and as we climb
ed this pathway we could see stretch

Winthrop was writing; we could
hear the click of typewriter, but he
saw us through an open window and
came to meet us with pencil behind
his ear and crumpling piece Of vel
