Explore "The Seven Darlings" by Gouverneur Morris on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I wish I could write first, "The Seven Darlings lived happily ever afterward," and then the word "Finis. " But I cannot end so easily and maintain a reputation for veracity. They can't have lived happily afterward until they are dead -- can they? At the moment they have just closed The Camp after the summer and scattered to their winter homes; that is, all of them except Gay.
The Camp, of course, is no longer an inn. They run it on joint account for themselves and for their friends. And they have delightful times.
