verely burned when her clothing
caught fire, while she was dressing
her small child before the fire
about four weeks ago, died this

so seriously that the chances of her
recovery from the beginning were
very alight, and several days ago
when complications set in, her life
was despaired of.

Thus are the evil machinations of Fire brought to naught.
