The Locket of Dreams
“In the other bed, on the other side of the room, she could see a hump under the covers which was her sister Jess, still fast asleep.
Sophie was in her bed at Nonnie’s apartment, on the North Shore of Sydney, in her own life in the twenty-first century. A feeling of great excitement welled up inside her.
She looked around at the bedroom, with its cream carpet, yellow-and-white striped wallpaper, white dressing table and framed paintings of pale pink camellias.
Was it all a dream? Or had she real...ly gone back in time and place to the home of Charlotte Mackenzie, in nineteenth-century Scotland? It was too incredible to comprehend.
Sophie remembered the amazing feeling of flying and the secretive feeling of observing the goings-on while no-one except Flossie the dog seemed to be able to see her. It was the greatest adventure she had ever experienced.
If it was all just a dream, it was a dream she really didn’t want to wake up from. She felt a strong yearning to be back in Scotland, back in the past, where everything seemed more interesting, more colourful and more alive than her own life here in Sydney with its irritations and worries and sister squabbles.MoreLess
