The Reachfar Lady"" -- her name becoming more prophetic as this series extends itself through the years -- now takes a voyage to tone her up after the ""thin time"" since her husband Twice's death. Also aboard is her ""a-moral"" brother-in-law Roddy, sent along for company, and a youngster, but primarily the spinster Misses Kindness -- Bobbsey Triplets who volunteer for sickroom duty and make most everyone feel worse with their omnipresent intrusiveness. One of the quieter ones, with some bottled sunshine and mature reflection -- sort of a cuppa Lipton for the tea break.
