Excerpt from The Dream-Charlotte: A Story of Echoes The sound seemed to symbolize the life of those left behind, - Cloistered votaries on whom prison doors would never open. Whilst their pupils sped homewards, every pretty head full of day-dreams, Spiritual mothers and teachers chatted of this favourite and that, of successes, Of failures also in the class-room. Many a woman's destiny they now forecast, reading in the maiden of today the wife and mother of to-morrow, nor did they confine speculations to the fireside and matters of the heart only. The world indeed, its prizes and temptations seemed uppermost, here, also, life being regarded as a game Of chance, all honour due to the winner!
