In the Still of the Night "Have you ever been to the Catskills?" Robert asked. "Not that I remember," Lily replied. "I have. And I had a swell time. Over there they take guests into hotels and even in their houses and they provide entertainment. The wealthy Jewish families from New York City often spend whole summers there. Tykes and moms. Dads come up for weekends." "Entertainment? What sort of entertainment?" "Musical shows, jugglers, comedy acts, singers and bands, swimming, boat races, and lectures. Something for everyone." Lily frowned. "But the people we knew when we were rich have all that at their disposal anyway." "But they don't have – wait for it, Lily – celebrities! Imagine if they could come here and spend a friendly week with Dorothy Parker or Sinclair Lewis or Amelia Earhart?" Lily laughed. "I don't think a week with Dorothy Parker would be a whole lot of fun." Then she added more seriously, "We don't actually know any of these people except by reputation. How would we get them to come?" "Lily, you don't read the newspapers like I do. People like that gad about all over the place. Showing off, mostly. We just write and invite them to visit for free in a great mansion." "And they'd do that?" "They might. We won't know until we give it a try."
