Participants are to meet at Dunster House at 9 o'clock, then ride out to Brookline in a warm-up spin.

...public coming & going: she is at once a Jezebel, a faithful wife, a W.C.T.U.-pledgee, a patrician, a pauper, a farmer, a mother of ingrate children sired by a worthless husband, a passionate creature, an unsatisfied creature, a high-grade businesswoman. Her hair is "glossy as a fresh-shucked chestnut," and even in old age her "crooked little smile" only adds to her good looks...
