these baby wailings, a mother rushed
upon me. She had been my neighbor

After that she drank it often, until it
ended, as in the other cases, in the
utter ruin of her little home. Now,
as her fierce eyes burned upon me,
they seemed to scorch my very soul.
Maddened by the sound of those little
voices she cried out, "Yes, von called
yourself my friend; you pretended to
help me, and that is how you did it!
Don't, you hear them crying, crying
for me? And I can't go to them. Oh

and I left them to starve—and they're

from them—help me! but he only
looked bewildered; then as another
fierce woman thrust herself upon
me, I shrieked in an agony of despair,
and fell prostrate on the floor. I
awoke and found it was but a dream;
