herself caught the spotted typhus; for some time all hope of
her recovery was abandoned. The fever at last, however,
abated, only to leave her a physical and nervous wreck; she
had become insane.
In this condition she was sent home to her poor mother,
whose bitter cup of sorrow was now surely full. But, no;
her second son, who was at home, whose nervous system had
already been strained almost to the breaking point, could not
stand the shock of seeing his loved sister insane. His own
mind was unhinged, and he, too, had to be removed to an
asylum.

not merely happy in their own lives, but a means of inspiration
and uplifting to the wretched peasants on their estate, who so
sorely needed their help and teaching.
