Looks like Arch's ex built the house.
Di Cummin is a wanderer, now able to wander among her own houses but still liable to take off for Turkey or the pyramids. She left her native Australia at seventeen and says she has never spent more than three weeks in one place since. She used to model. Arch Cummin is a sportsman and investor who took a summer off from the office to travel with Di and never returned. Philadelphia, Harvard, Wharton, and First Boston are remote now, and the Victorian silver frames hold only pictures of immediate family.
At Little Saint James, Di comprised n very little of her original vision. She wanted outdoor balcony showers and got them. She wanted the house to be lit only by candles and light reflected off the water and white stone, but she gave in and had a strip of light run under the moldings. Still, it is a dark house at night and deeply romantic, with the wind blowing the scent of frangipani, white ginger, and jasmine. A blue heron high-steps across the lawn, sinking into the thick soft grass. The Cummins' black boat and their white boat bob in the pale water.
