DedicationThere were three empty spaces in the family, waiting to be filled, when fate
played its poetic, random game and brought us Susan, Lorene and Jane.
Three young women—different, yet alike: intelligent, fair featured andspirited! We claim their elegance among three more expansive gifts
bestowed on us. In honor of that twist of fate,we gratefully dedicate this book to them.
We love them, not for comely grace alone.
My enduring gratitude to Geraldine N. Barclayfor editing the original manuscript.
