94 Ellen Key
of the same year, she had been present at her
father's death in her married sister's home in
Visb3^ where he had been cared for ever since
his illness enforced his leave of absence from
Helsingborg. Crossing the sea, one night, in
a snow-storm, she brought her father's remains
to the grave of her mother in Vestervik's
cemetery, the only plot of earth in the beloved
home parish to which she henceforth had
proprietary rights.
With such deep personal experiences of the
presence of death, causes for sober reflection
have not been lacking in Ellen Key's life.
The actual passing away of her father was
perhaps not so bitter a blow, since the paraly-
tic stroke some years previously had left him
mentally incapacitated. But the loss of her
two friends shook her profoundly. Through
them, Stockholm had been touched as it were
by a fresh breeze from the great world, and
this had been especially exhilarating to Ellen
Key. At this early date, she had as yet had
little opportunity for studying places and
conditions abroad such as later offered during
her prolonged visits to foreign lands when, as
a famous author and admired personality,
she was the honoured guest in private homes,
such as rarely open their doors to foreigners.
