when I was going to Heaven." (When was that?) "Over in
that bed" (her former bed). Later she added, "The place
changed so ... things used to be coming up and down
(dreamily)--that was the day I was coming up on the ship or
going down." She is quite oriented.

_Nov. 17._ Usually stands about with immobile face,
preoccupied, but she eats voluntarily.

_Nov. 24._ When the husband and sister came a few days ago
she said she was glad to see them, embraced them, cried and
is said to have spoken quite freely. To-day she speaks more
freely than usually. When asked why she had answered so
little, she said she could not bring herself to say
anything, though she added spontaneously, "I knew what was
said to me." When shown a picture of her cataleptic
attitude with hands raised, she said dreamily, "I guess
that must have been the day I went to Heaven, everything

first--I should not have bought it"--(refers to buying
carbolic acid). She wrote a natural letter but very slowly.

4. There followed then a state lasting for six months,
during which the patient was rather inactive, preoccupied,
even a little tense at times. Sometimes she did not answer,
again at the same interview spoke quite promptly. For the
most part the affect was reduced, at other times she
appeared a little uneasy, bewildered, or again depressed.
She said that sometimes a mist seemed to be over her. Now
and then spoke of things looking queer and she asked, when
the room was cleaned, "Why do they move things about?" and
she added irrelevantly: "I thought the robbers broke into
my house and stole my wedding dress and my children's
dresses" (refers to the condition during the onset of her
psychosis). In the beginning of this state, when asked
about the stupor, s
