self made me send her down to the basement, where she had

to work long, hard hours.

Every day she had to carry water from the well, boil it in

huge pots and then wash my clothes in it. Then she had to

hang them outside to dry and press them with the heavy iron.

can imagine my surprise, when years later, when I was an old

man, the girl came to me in a dream and said : ...

'Many

of your servants

have

died

of cold and hunger.

The ones

who lived to be old were sent away when they could not work any more

and they,

too, died

of hunger.

Now YOU must

suffer before you

can

find peace. You will know when the time has come, because a young

girl will come to your house. Ifshe eats at your table and you speak to

her honestly ofyour past cruelty and selfishness,

then you will be free

to leave this house and find peace.'

In the morning I found the diamond heart on the pillow

beside me and I knew it had not been a dream! Soon, what

she had told me became true. All my servants were old and

tired

For endless years, I have wandered from room to room,

always waiting for a young girl to come and free my soul from

its suffering. Now, I can finally find peace."

There was a long sigh after "the voice" stopped speaking.

Kathy felt cold and lonely as she stood in the middle of the
