1. What does Gusslie like and not like about being in the shadow of Atlantic City's Steel Pier?

Gussie does not enjoy swimming, but she does like to lie in the wet sand in the shadow of Atlantic City's Steel Pier.

She had told her aunt and Anna that they were at the beach and asked them to join them. Then she had left the note on the Oriental rug in the entryway of her grandparents' apartment.
