Off to the Finger Lakes and coming back later. I’ll send a wire so you can meet me at Grand Central with a bunch of daisies. Imagery from an 1891 promotional pamphlet urging tourists to visit Lake Keuka that was probably paid for by the Bath and Hammondsport Railroad and Lake Keuka Steamers as their timetables are prominently listed. Where my mother went to college and I went to camp, too.

When the bride and groom were alone, Lord Edward Grayton read the Song of Songs to his wife, kissed her cool, waxy neck, and, sitting in an armchair, lit a new pipe. Inhaling the smoke, which carried all the narcotic aromas of the East that had once intoxicated poor Sulamita, the lord gazed with tender satisfaction at Lady Mary, still awake in her pink pajamas, as if waiting for something.

All these images are of the SS Corsican except for the menu. According to the same archive, the SS Corsican was built in 1907 by Barclay Curle in Glasgow. She served mostly on the Glasgow Service. In 1912, she collided with an iceberg but was only slightly damaged; was renamed the Maroale in 1922 and was wrecked two years later near Cape Race.
