She lay all but insensible, never asked for anything, or refused anything that was offered her, never said a word about her baby, or about Tom, or seemed to be more than when she lay in her mother's lap.

Her baby was buried, and she knew nothing of it.

Not until nine days were over did she begin to revive.
For the first few days, Tom, moved with undefined remorse, tried to take a part in nursing her.

She took things from him, as she did from the landlady, without heed or recognition.

Just once, opening suddenly her eyes wide upon him, she uttered a feeble wail of "_Baby!_" and, turning her head, did not look at him again.
