"I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it, a cat and a dog, the footsteps of friends ~ and you!"
In her journal on Sept. 25, 1910, L.M. Montgomery wrote, "How I do love an open fireplace. I love it so much that I feel sure I shall never have one of my own. No, I shall be doomed to stuffy stoves or -- worse still! -- a radiator all my live."
