...FLASHED past in an instant. We all kept cheering, of course, all 400 or so of us, waving the gold-and-white flags the nuns at school had given us. It was October 1965, after all, and to a third-grader like myself it didn't matter that the weather was far too cold for early fall, and that the heavy drizzle had all but soaked through the neat white shirt and grey pants of my parochial-school uniform.

...typical Louis Auchincloss novel varies as the weather varies from year to year; some are stormier than others, some a degree or two more torrid, but there are few surprises. The Country Cousin, this year's offering, features a cast familiar to readers of his 20 previous works of fiction: the calculating but sympathetic adventuress from a deprived background; an older sponsor scornful of the conventions of New York Society; taciturn, philandering businessmen with ruddy faces; and their thwarted wives, thirsting for uninhibited affairs. No more unpleasant crowd has been assembled since the days of the robber barons...
