Peter's glimpses of family life in Newport and Bar Harbor are, in fact, an ethnography of "top drawer" New England society. The notion of the Johnson père teaching his son that then US President Franklin Roosevelt was "a traitor to our class" seems incredible today. Cleveland Amory's The Proper Bostonians was filled with similar tales of the same sorts of people, but in a more detached way."
