Two years had these maidens watched and cared for her, and they began to weary, and finally to request the authorities to remove her.
Mrs.Hoggs was a lover of gold and silver, and she asked the favor of filling her coffers by caring for the sick.

The removal caused severe sickness.
By being bolstered in the bed, after a time she could use her hands, and often would ask for sewing to beguile the tedium.

She had become very expert with her needle the first year of her release from Mrs.B., and she had forgotten none of her skill.

Mrs.H.praised her, and as she improved in health, was anxious to employ her.

She told her she could in this way replace her clothes, and as her board would be paid for, she would thus gain something.
Many times her hands wrought when her body was in pain; but the hope that she might yet help herself, impelled her on.
Thus she reckoned her store of means by a few dollars, and was hoping soon to come in possession, when she was startled by the announcement that Mrs.Hoggs had reported her to the physician and town officers as an impostor.
