McHugh, Arona. The Seacoast of Bohemia.

New York: Dell Publishing Company, 1965. A sequel to A Banner with a Strange Device, the novel contains a number of descriptions of Boston, including, “But you can’t hide anything in Boston. Depend upon it there’s always someone somewhere who is either related or emigrated with your grandfather or lived next door to your sixth cousin.” And, “For no matter how they might want to ignore it, there was an excellence about this city, an air of reason, a feeling for beauty, a memory of something very good, and perhaps a reminiscence of the vast aspiration of man which could never entirely vanish.”
