the house during the day and appeared
, to be rather morose. During the week
iprevious to her death she appeared
, frather more quiet than usual, but was
about the house, and l saw her every
day twice day as usual; there did not
seem to be anything especially alarm
ing about her case at that time.

that l considered the case at all worth
reporting. At that time, at a. M,
!, found her in bed, and, as she said, mot
like getting up" Her temper
