Excerpt from A Hardy Norseman
Cecil had passed a year of emancipated girlhood, she had for a whole year been her own mistress, had had time and money at her disposal, and no special duties to take the place of her school-work. It was the time she had been looking forward to all her life, the blissful time of grown-up freedom, and now that it had come it had proved a disappointing illusion. Whether the fault was in herself or in her circumstances she did not know 5 but like so many girls of her age, she was looking out on life with puzzled eyes, hardly knowing what it was that had gone amiss, yet conscious of a great want, of a great unrest, of a vague dissatisfaction which would not be reasoned down.
