In keeping with the outdoorsy spirit of the novel's amours, Molly finally succumbs to Johnny on a sand dune. The wedding bells have a somber ring, what with Molly pregnant at 17, but middle-aging Ken and Sylvia Jorgenson rally round, and Summer Place ends on a sunnily implausible note of general contentment...
...aunt and a Negro cook. This sunnily funereal household is subsidized out of the thin pocketbook of Annette's husband James, who shares one room in New York with his mistress and dreams of the day when death will free him to marry her. When the mistress becomes pregnant, James resolves to divorce Annette, but face to face with the supine, trusting invalid, he holds his tongue.

The fathers, it is now clear, came from outer space, and left no forwarding address...
