Kitty Foyle recalls cross country journey and youth
In a memoir excerpt Kitty Foyle nostalgically describes youth in Philadelphia and a long summer trip by train with her guardian Pop and Mac. She recalls the Limited to Chicago, the thrill of first travel, the Pullman porter, Manitou in the Midwest, and a dog named Patty shells that comforted her amid homesickness and self discovery.
