Emily Walderhurst, drifting out on a still, borderless, white sea, sinking gently as she floated, sinking in peaceful painlessness deeper and deeper in her drifting until the soft, cool water lapped her lips and, as she knew without fear, would soon cover them and her quiet face, hiding them for ever, heard from far, very far away, across the whiteness floating about her, a faint sound which at first only fell upon the stillness without meaning.
Haven't we allowed those checks and barriers that are so important a restraint upon childish enterprise, to creep up into and distress and distort adult life?... "The modern world thinks too much as though painlessness and freedom from danger were ultimate ends.
You both deserve to accompany me to the spot where childhood is dreaming and peace of mind and painlessness have their abode. But respect for the Queen has prevented the brother and sister from greeting each other after so long a separation. Do so now! Then, follow me."
Winterborne never recovered consciousness of what was passing; and that he was going became soon perceptible also to her.
