Thaddeus:  It was Whit's escape, I now understand, the Century.

​

Polly:  I don't really know what their home life was like.

​

Liz:  They did have this interesting aspiration, even if it was never fully realized, to be running with a different crowd than I'm sure a lot of Whit's partners were running with.  The Century, which started as a place for artists and writers.  Greenwich Village.  The Farm.

​

Thaddeus: Whit's partners all had places up at Cornwall Bridge, very different.

​

Liz:  Whit and Lola were definitely, unless I'm completely wrong, at least in accord on that aspiration

​

Thaddeus:  Their vision of The Farm--bear in mind that they were 38, 39 when they bought The Farm--was a place to have guests out for the weekend, have weekend events.  Then the war came, and Lola got TB, and after that it was almost a place for seclusion.

​

Polly: And things were changing in New York and everywhere else.
