Louise Andrews Kent - 1968
    Her sister Katherine walked the block to her grandparents house to announce the new baby. Life was spacious, serene, and comfortable through the winters when skates rang on Jamaica Pond. Children played, studied and traveled to dancing school and other destinations behind a horse. Summers were spent at Iron Bound, an island in Frenchman's Bay, where her grandparents ran a hospitable house.Later, Miss Andrews came out at a festive party which was to change her life. For her aunt had put on the list for Katherine a certain young Mr. Kent who came from Vermont and was working in Boston as an editor. He was a tall and distinguished bachelor.It would be wrong to tell the whole story here, but right to say it is one of the nicest, longest and most happily-ended love stories imaginable.
