'There, Dauphin, tell me what that is.'

Colored illustration of an old man and woman sitting in an ornate living room playing chess. Two dogs sit at their feet.

The Reverend Mr. Irwine and his mother, who is wearing very fine clothes, play chess on a rainy day. Their dogs sit lazily around them. Mrs. Irwine moves her queen to checkmate her son. Mr. Irwine complains that she must have cheated and that it's unchristian to do so. (Book 1, Chapter 5)
