Valentine Xavier:
How did it happen to burn?
Lady Torrance:
My papa made a mistake. One night, one summer, he sold liquor to Negroes. You heard of the vigilantes?
Valentine Xavier:
Yeah, I heard of 'em.
Lady Torrance:
They took action that summer. They rode out here with gallons of coal oil - and set the whole place on fire. Vines, arbors, fruit trees. The whole sky lit up with it. And all the way across this lake, you could hear my papa calling. Nobody answered the call.
