THE LATE MRS. FONSELL

What happened to the late Mrs. Fonsell wonders Irene, who married a son and was bearing his child when he's lost at sea -- leaving her to accept, in his lieu, Jason Fonsell, born on the wrong side of this family's blanket. All -- and by all we mean lots -- of this takes place out of Sag Harbor before the turn of the century and there's an old house with a portrait and perhaps a presence -- a deadly assailant. Romantic busywork and, for the ladies, just past their first childhood or into their second, a categorical yes.
