Several months ago the woman's baby
girl was drowned by falling into a

cue her, fell headforemost into the
opening of the cistern, and only
prompt assistance saved her from
drowning. A short time later she gave
birth to a baby that died the sama
day. Crazed by grief. she imagined
every pool Of water a cistern and that
her child lay at the bottom. At Ne

imagined her baby lay.
