当嘉洛林米贝登上了芝加哥，她下午火车
    总装备包括一个小箱子，一个廉价的仿制
    鳄鱼皮挎包，在一个小纸盒午餐和一
    黄色弹簧钱包，里面装着她的车票，一废料
    纸，她姐姐在凡布伦街地址，四
    美元的资金。这是1889年8月。她18
    年龄，明亮，胆小年，和充分的幻想
    无知和青年。不管分手时的遗憾触摸
    她的思想特点，这当然不是优势
    现在放弃了。阿涌出的泪水在她母亲的告别
    吻，在她的喉咙，当车由面粉clacked触摸
    工厂在那里，她的父亲在一天的工作，作为这次可怜的叹息
    周围熟悉的绿色在审查通过的村庄，和
    那些把她轻轻少女时代和家庭的线程
    无可挽回地破裂。

    When Caroline Meeber boarded the afternoon train for Chicago, her
    total outfit consisted of a small trunk, a cheap imitation
    alligator-skin satchel, a small lunch in a paper box, and a
    yellow leather snap purse, containing her ticket, a scrap of
    paper with her sister's address in Van Buren Street, and four
    dollars in money. It was in August, 1889. She was eighteen
    years of age, bright, timid, and full of the illusions of
    ignorance and youth. Whatever touch of regret at parting
    characterised her thoughts, it was certainly not for advantages
    now being given up. A gush of tears at her mother's farewell
    kiss, a touch in her throat when the cars clacked by the flour
    mill where her father worked by the day, a pathetic sigh as the
    familiar green environs of the village passed in review, and the
    threads which bound her so lightly to girlhood and home were
    irretrievably broken.
