In such a place men and women grow old serenely and delightfully, and youth flourishes all the fairer for the rich soil which has brought it forth. One has twenty-four hours to the day in a South Carolina town plenty of time to live in, so that one can afford to do things unhurriedly and has leisure to be neighborly.
