she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became
very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made
an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time
I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth
before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her
until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped

to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to
undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had
submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and
found only additional suffering as a result, so I would
not consent.
