If all the rich people in the world divided up their money
amongst themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around.
- [Wealth]
All the June Saturday afternoon Sam Pollit's children were on the
lookout for him as they skated round the dirt sidewalks and
seamed old asphalt of R Street and Reservoir Road that bounded
the deep-grassed acres of Tohoga House, their home. They were
not usually allowed to run helter-skelter about the streets, but
Sam was out late with the naturalists looking for lizards and
salamanders round the Potomac bluffs. Henrietta, their mother,
was in town, Bonnie, their youthful and general servant, had her
afternoon off, and they were being minded by Louisa, their half
sister, eleven and a half years old, the eldest of their brood.
