get out of bed, wandered about, got
into other patients' beds. It was on such an occasion that
the above incident happened. In August, 1902, she sometimes
tried to get out when the door was opened, and we have
seen that she tried to get out of the window, but she did
not change her placid expression at such times. Her motive
was not known. On two occasions towards the end of 1902,
when she was taken to a dance and was made to take part,
she waltzed with considerable animation but did not speak.
This was quite striking in that these incidents occurred in
a setting of marked inactivity (i.e., a condition in which
she had to be pushed to the table, pushed to the closet).
She did not soil any more, but she sometimes drooled and
had to be spoon-fed. However, on a third occasion when this
was tried, she had to be dragged around. Finally, though
her facial expression showed at times a preoccupied
staring, she more often looked around, sometimes quite
freely and often looked up promptly enough when accosted.
But there was very little evidence of any affect at any
time. We have seen that twice she swore a little when
opposed. On another occasion she slapped a patient when the
latter helped her. Twice she was seen crying a little
without apparent provocation, but she did not laugh, and
the only suggestion of pleasurable emotion was that at the
two dances mentioned she could be led into a certain
animation. Usually, even when she got less resistive
towards the end, she was essentially apathetic.

Once in January, 1903, she could be made to write her name
but wrote her maiden name. In the end of 1903 she improved
gradually (a condition not well observed), so that by
December she answered some questions in a low tone. Even in
April, 1904, she was still described as apathetic, though
she had begun to do some work.

3. Then she improved markedly and began to work, looked
after herself in a natural way, spoke freely, was entirely
oriented and her mood generally presented nothing striking.
But her mental attitude was still peculiar when she was
questioned. She seemed somewhat inattentive, sulky,
sneering. Thus, when asked why she was here, she said, "You
will have to ask those who brought me here."
