The only light was a roaring hearth fire that threw our quivering shadows against the wall. Tattered tales were piled high in corners. There was a clock hanging over the mantel, boxes of knickknacks stacked on shelves, and several faded family photos sat next to a meerschaum pipe on a carved nesting table. “Are you hungry?” Seth…
