Excerpt from Melchior's Dream: Brothers of Pity, and Other Tales
IT is always a memorable era in a mother's life when she introduces a daughter into society. Many things contribute to make it so; among which is the fact of the personal blessing to her self, in having been permitted to see the day to have been spared, that is, to watch over her child in infancy, and now to see her entering life upon her own account.
