There were two older girls - Elinor and Dorothy. We didn’t see them that much at their winter house in some hot suburb. It was at their summer house that we knew them best. When the obstetrician father found out about the sneaking into his library he said, “There’s nothing funny about medical facts and human anatomy.” He reprimanded his children for their immature and silly behavior. There were illustrations, in color, of all the female reproductive organs, and they were thought by the doctor’s children to be something secret and wicked and hilarious. The father was a doctor, an obstetrician, and when we visited them at their winter house, the children of this family would take my older sister and me upstairs to their father’s study to show us secret medical books. Other families lived up the block and down the block but my mother and father were friendly with the mother and father of this family because they had higher I.Q.’s and were more intellectual. How were they special? There were three children when most other families had two children.Īs a surprise to everyone, including the parents in the family, later on there got to be four children. A special family lived around the corner from us at our beach house.
