Maine is Nowhere

“You must be crazy to want that place,” Arbuthnot told us. “I mean, don’t you know where Maine is? It’s nowhere! There’s no decent train service, and there’s no decent flying service. It’s a terrible place to drive to - it’s too far from both New York and Boston - and when you do get there, the water’s too cold and the bugs can bleed you to death in an hour. None of the really class sailors sail there anymore - I mean the sailors with money,” Arbuthnot said, “there’s absolutely nothing to spend it on in Maine! They don’t even have whores there!”
