...paradox, a place where dreams bumped up against bureaucracy, it was no less a place where one of the most powerful currents of American life flowed by. Between 1892 and 1924, 12 million immigrants first touched U.S. soil there. Forty percent of all Americans can look back to an ancestor who passed through its doors.

...would have worked out, I'm sure, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids. But Ophelia falls in love as soon as she sets eyes on Lee Shersoot (John Claflin), and Belle realizes that she won't be born if her ancestor marries Sir Cumference because the locket she inherited says Ophelia's husband had the initials "L.S." (You in the reading public probably already figured out that L.S. stands for Lee Shersoot, but it takes the characters a lot longer...
