“By the time we got back to the Island Inn and checked into a supremely comfortable room... with private bath, the sun was descending toward the ocean, filling our chamber with a beneficent, buttery light. From our window we enjoyed the best view on the Eastern Seaboard: a brilliant grassy slope descending to weathered grey cottages and the shingled freight shed on the wharf, where a father and daughter sat fishing. Behind them, boats bobbed gently in the harbor with green-cloaked Manana as a backdrop.”
