The festivities of the afternoon are far on when a commotion is heard in the hall as if some dog or other stray animal had forced its way in. The instinct of a friendly guest tells him of the arrival he opens the door, and fetches in the little stranger. What can it be? a street-boy of some sort?
Suddenly an eddy was formed in the road round a street-boy crushed under the wheels of a carriage, and the woman on the balcony fell to the floor screaming in agony, stricken with the grief of the great white-robed Mother who sits in the world's inner shrine. I remember the scene on the barren heath a girl sat alone on the grass before the gipsy camp, braiding her hair in the afternoon shade.
