l faking--it is me
that done it--they are all dressing up downstairs," or "I
told you she was not able to nurse the baby," or "I have
nobody, I am lost--I want to know the truth--my mamma," or
she called her sister, "They are dead since last night."

Even during the more stuporous state she could, a few
times, be made to write a little. Then she either wrote
very slowly and not more than a letter, or if she wrote
more, it was remarkably mixed up. Thus when asked to write
the date, she wrote, "Jane (mother's name) to me to
Chrichst," or when asked to write her name: "Annie take you
ktusto."

As to her orientation, nothing could be made out as a rule.
At first, however, a few weeks after admission, she spoke
correctly of the month as January and spoke of the Island.
When at that time she was asked if she had a baby, she
said, in an annoyed tone, "I don't know."

months she presented the following state: She stood about,
or walked around slowly, usually with her arms folded. She

questions, but would either smile in a sneering way, or
just walk away, or say, "Oh, don't bother me," or "I don't
want to talk," and generally her attitude was rather sulky.
Nor was this only towards the physicians but towards the
husband, sister and child as well. When on May 17 the
sister came, she would not speak to her but said "Go away."
The baby she simply pushed away sulkily when it was brought
to her. To the husband she said on May 31, "Go away, you
stink." In the first part of this period, she presented
some bursts of elation, on one occasion turned somersaults,
indulged in a few pranks with laughter, or once, when a
knock at the door was heard, she called out "Holy gee,
cheese it, the cop." But these occurred only in the first
part of the period. On June 1 she spoke to the nurse, said,
"What is the matter with these people, they must be crazy,"
asked to go home, and was then by the nurse found to be
oriented, and to know the
