Synopsis
It was an evening of sudden mildness following a dry October gale. The colonel had miscalculated the temperature by one log-only one he declared but that had proved a pitchy one and the chimney bellowed with flame. From end to end the room was alight with it as if the stored-up energies of a whole pine-tree had been sacrificed in the consumption of that four-foot stick.
