The story thus far: And now: The Driest Martini in West Chop: Lady Slipper Farm And The Summer People, Chapter Four Thorn Dixon, 42, perched his behind on his prospective employer’s porch-rail in a maneuver that only someone with utmost grace could get away with. Thorn got away with it. Not that the lady seated in the wrought-iron chair across from him could appreciate his tango-ready figure. Old, notorious Sonja Dash was blind as Mr. Magoo.
