Fireplace Quote by Gideon Rathbone
““Walking in, I couldn't help but be impressed with his house. The fireplace was aglow with two armchairs situated in front of it. By one chair sat a small table with a copy of David Copperfield on it. I found this sight a bit prophetic. Two chairs with two bodies in them. The image of Isaac and me sitting in front of the fire on a frigid evening such as this in the coming years flashed in front of me.””
