Chapter 1: Missing

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we nothing before us, we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period. that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on it's being recieved, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." - Charles Dickens 'A Tale of Two Cities'

I saw part of her dress in the yard so I investigated and came across such a sight.
