For three quarters of a year I was obliged to dress and undress
him. We were backward in our payments, we borrowed more money, and all that we
had was lost and sold, and then my husband died. Since then I have worked,
toiled, and striven for the sake of the child. I have scrubbed and washed both
coarse and fine linen, but I have not been able to make myself better off; and
it was God's will. In His own time He will take me to Himself, but I know He
will never forsake my boy." Then she fell asleep.
Then she fell asleep.
In the morning she felt much refreshed, and strong enough, as she thought, to go
on with her work. But as soon as she stepped into the cold water, a sudden
faintness seized her; she clutched at the air convulsively with her hand, took
one step forward, and fell. Her head rested on dry land, but her feet were in
the water; her wooden shoes, which were only tied on by a wisp of straw, were
carried away by the stream, and thus she was found by Martha when she came to
bring her some coffee.
In the meantime a messenger had been sent to her
house by the mayor, to say that she must come to him immediately, as he had
something to tell her. It was too late; a surgeon had been sent for to open a
vein in her arm, but the poor woman was dead. "She has drunk herself to death,"
said the cruel mayor. In the letter, containing the news of his brother's death,
it was stated that he had left in his will a legacy of six hundred dollars to
the glovemaker's widow, who had been his mother's maid, to be paid with
discretion, in large or small sums to the widow or her child.
