The second genâ€" eration of Kincaids (1920) still beâ€" lieves that there is nothing that money can‘t fix. A daughter has beâ€" come a European wastrel, A son has become a dieâ€"hard reactionary. Among the grandchildren are a philanderer and a consort of gangsters. Memâ€" bers of the third generation (1941) under the impact of a national criâ€" sis, rededicate their lives to the counâ€" try that gave them their wealth.
