"I have, sir; and it is that we make the island of Nantucket our summer resort for this year, dividing the time, if you like, between Nantucket Town and the quaint little fishing village Siasconset, or 'Sconset, as they call it for short. There is an odd little box of a cottage there belonging to a friend of mine, a Captain Coffin, which I have partially engaged until the first of September.
He was adored by the ladies, lionized by everybody, and liked it. But when the summer was over and September came, he went to Siasconset and reverted to the type of his ancestors. He hobnobbed with the men and women who had been the friends and neighbors of his forbears. He doffed his sophistication as he doffed his formal clothes.
"I shall sleep well to-night because of to-morrow." But when to-morrow came there was a telephone message for Becky that Major Prime and his wife were in town. They had messages for her from Huntersfield, and from King's Crest. "And so our day is spoiled," said Archibald. "We can come again," said the Admiral, "but we must be getting back to Siasconset to-morrow. I wrote to Tristram.
And, anyhow, if he is asleep, we will wake him up. I am going to tell him that George is at Siasconset." "But, my dear, what good will it do?" "He's got to save Becky. I know Dalton's tricks and his manners. He can cast a glamour over anything. And Randy's the man for her.

Mr. Dinsmore went with him, intending to go to Boston for a few days, perhaps on to New York also, then return to Siasconset.

The reading stopped at luncheon time, and it was still raining. On the table were letters for Becky forwarded from Siasconset.
Frederick William was curious to know what had given Newport its great popularity as a summer resort, and asked me to compare the famous cottages of the Vanderbilts, the Belmonts, the Astors, along the cliffs, with well-known country houses in England.
