...would do everything I could to stop it (Do you know how many nurses think the heart surgeon is really in love with them? If you keep this up, I will lock you in your room! etc.). I might not succeed, but I do know I would not curl up on the sofa and chat about it. And I would not tuck away a soiled dress as if my daughter had caught the bridal bouquet, even under the guise of preserving it as potential evidence. But, then again, I would never have written a book like The Private Lives...

For starters, though, grab a taste of the island's world-famous fudge and take a carriage tour to get yourselves oriented. Then curl up in one of the hotel's porch rockers with a book by Ernest Hemingway or Edward Everett Hale: both writers found inspiration here many summers...

...time when earth-mother chic was just beginning its resurgence, I wanted elegance. My friends begged their parents for Birkenstocks, while secretly I hoped for red stiletto heels. I practised smoking everything from carrot sticks to toothpicks, hoping to find just the right nonchalant gesture to send a curl of imaginary smoke up past my face.
