Picture a room that glows in the warm light from a hearth on the floor. Maureen Bruin, Shawn Bruin, and Bridget Bruin sit at a table near the fire. They are dressed in the costume of some remote time, and near them sits an old priest, Father Hart. There are food and drink upon the table. Mary Bruin stands by the open door reading a book.
