:02:02
together with a new Rolls-Royce.
:02:05
Fairchild was a fine chauffeur
of considerable polish,
:02:10
like the eight cars in his care.
:02:13
And he had a daughter
by the name of... Sabrina.
:02:18
It was the eve of
the annual six-metre-yacht races
:02:22
and, as had been traditional
for the past 30 years,
:02:26
the Larrabees were giving a party.
:02:29
It never rained on the night
of the Larrabee party.
:02:33
The Larrabees
wouldn't have stood for it.
:02:35
There were four Larrabees in all -
father, mother and two sons.
:02:42
Maude and Oliver Larrabee
were married in 1906.
:02:46
Among their many wedding presents
was a town house in New York
:02:50
and this estate for weekends.
:02:52
The town house has since been
converted into Saks Fifth Avenue.
:02:57
Linus Larrabee, the elder son,
graduated from Yale,
:03:02
where his classmates voted him
:03:04
the man most likely
to leave his alma mater $50 million.
:03:09
His brother, David, went through
several of the best Eastern colleges
:03:14
for short periods of time,
:03:16
and through several marriages
for even shorter periods of time.
:03:22
He is now a successful
six-goal polo player
:03:25
and is listed on Linus's tax return
as a $600 deduction.
:03:32
Life was pleasant among
the Larrabees,
:03:34
for this was as close to heaven
as one could get on Long Island.
