Kennedy Square, In The Late Fifties, Was A Place Of Birds And Trees And Flowers; Of Rude Stone Benches, Sagging Arbors Smothered In Vines, And Cool Dirt-Paths Bordered By Sweet-Smelling Box. Giant Magnolias Filled The Air With Their Fragrance, And Climbing Roses Played Hide And Seek Among The Railings Of The Rotting Fence. Along The Shaded Walks Laughing Boys And Girls Romped All Day, With Hoop And Ball, Attended By Old Black Mammies In White Aprons And Gayly Colored Bandannas; While In The More Secluded Corners, Sheltered By Protecting Shrubs, Happy Lovers Sat And Talked, Tired Wayfarers Rested With Hats Off, And Staid Old Gentlemen Read By The Hour, Their Noses In Their Books.

Since Life is no more than a series of achievements and failures, this story is going to begin exactly where the teller of tales usually stops. It is going to begin with Johnny Jewel an accepted lover and with one of his dearest ambitions realized. It is going to begin there because Johnny himself was just beginning to climb, and the top of his desires was still a long way off, and the higher you go the harder is the climbing. Even love does not rest at peace with the slipping on of the engagement ring. I leave it to Life, the supreme judge, to bear me out in the statement that Love must straightway gird himself for a life struggle when he has passed the flowered gateway of a woman's tremulous yes.
