When I was a little girl, only six years old, I one night heard Bessie Leaven say to Martha Abbot that she had been dreaming about a little child; and that to dream of children was a sure sign of trouble, either to one's self or one's kin.
Quando avevo sei anni udii Bessie Leaven, che diceva a Marta Abbot di aver sognato un bimbo e che quel sogno era presagio di disgrazia per lei o per i suoi.
