“That’s most interesting. But I was no more a mind-reader then today. I was weeping for an altogether different reason. When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a noew world coming rapidly. More scientific. efficient, yes. More cures fo the old sicknesses. Very good. But a harsh, cruel world. And I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go. That is what I saw. It was’t really you, what you were doing, I know that. But I saw you and it broke my heart, And I’ve never forgotten.”
