"I was in Truro on Cape Cod, in our old farm house, sitting in Mother's Chair (we call it Mother's Chair because it was Mother's chair) when suddenly Mother's Chair began to rock. I knew that it must be an earthquake causing Mother's Chair to rock and not Mother, who had long since departed this earth. And I knew because many years ago, I had been with Father in the South Sea Islands sitting on a chair that suddenly began to tremble beneath me; it was unearthly, but Father said it was very earthly as it was an earthquake that was causing the chairs, and those sitting in them, to tremble."
