Stephen Crane at Brede
For going on four decades, EDITH R. JONES and her husband. a Massachusetts architect, have lived in an old house on the hill overlooking Marblehead Harbor with a view of the world from Cape Ann to Cape Cod. From this vantage point, her thoughts have gone back to that summer of 1899 when, as a Young girl living in England, she was absorbed into the gay household of Stephen Crane and his magnetic wife Cora. Henry James used to cycle over for tea and other guests included Joseph Conrad, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wells, and Ford Madox Hueffer — and she makes it sound like yesterday.
