I love the detail of the glowing (kerosene or natural gas?) lamp on the table, with books and papers scattered around. Gives a sense of time and place. Where is the third child, though?

There's almost always a child that gets away.

Unfortunately kerosene lamps don't date a scene so much as they should - they are being sold today, and not just for camping.

Sure thing, I do declare I own a few.
