Sidney finds adventure in Provincetown, she takes part in the capture of modern pirates, and much to her surprise plays an unexpected part in her sister's romance. She is a member of the Provincetown Branch of the League of American Poets. This was a band of women and a scattering of men who had pledged to foster the art of verse-making; a few of them really wrote poetry, a few more understood it, the greater number belonged to the League as Associates.
