"The fire…" Ralph had heard of the fire that claimed an entire block. He had also heard the rumor that people had perished in it. Along with the fact that the Mourne family's young master had been the cause. However, the rumor was a taboo to say out loud and Ralph had only heard about it in passing.

He could see that Ralph was clearly seeing why Clark wanted revenge and would be sharing this with him.
