Dorothy Dunnett Quote

Eside him, on a low table stood a chess set she remembered. The heavy pieces of rock crystal and silver stood, darkly glimmering below the light of the window, and the fire, seeking them, had placed within each a small tongue of living flame.She said, ‘There are not many pieces now left on the board. Who is your opponent?’‘Myself. Who else?’ Lymond said.
