I’m looking forward to reading Mr. Strong’s comments on New Year’s Day, the big social-posturing event of New York society.

Edith Wharton’s 1850s-set slice-of-life is “The Old Maid,” one of her most famous novelettes. The eponymous character has a child out of wedlock, and, by shifts, is able to bring her up but without being acknowledged as the mother.

George likes to record events the day they occur while the details are still fresh, but for some reason he won’t describe for us his New Year’s Day activities until the fifth.

That must be the basis for the Bette Davis movie of the same name.
