Here (in Rutland County, VT) we have Lake Bomoseen, in which lies Neshobe Island. Wolcott used to own it, and the whole Round Table vacationed there. One story is that Dorothy Parker arrived with no luggage except a large hat box, containing a large sun hat, which was her costume for the weekend.

The other legend is that Harpo Marx took it upon himself to protect the group from trespassers - people who landed boats on the island to see what was going on. He did this by leaping out of the bushes and running at them, naked and howling abuse.

There's a song there. Someday I'll get it written.

Peter.
