The Height of August (October 5)

“Sunshine had permeated the dock, the planks of my skiff, even the bedrock. Everything radiated heat. Daisies, red clover, and Queen Anne’s lace exploded into bloom … As well, youngsters from near and far thronged to the Little Rock to seize what was left of the summer. Swimming, sunbathing, and flirting reached a crescendo.

“Still, there was no ignoring the progressively earlier sunsets. And a

“You know, we were in love and caught up in the eddies of a marvellous city. Actually, we felt invisible. We believed no evil could befall us. All the same, it did.”
R. C. Highcroft, Providence Point

“That childhood adventure would not soon slip away. It quickened an understanding that he and I shared whenever we were side by side, either on the water or at the fireplace. Not exactly a secret, it was simply an experience that had little meaning for most others. Yet, for us it was invaluable. Recalling it made the more trying moments of life in the city much easier to endure.”
R. C. Highcroft, Providence Point

“One opponent’s ostensible generosity might a few moves later guarantee the other’s downfall. Thus, collaboration tended to come at a price. The analogy to real life was impossible to miss. But Granny was not given to moralizing. Ostensibly, we played only for amusement. We never mentioned parallels with the ins and outs of family affairs”
