After a year one of her little boys took fever--the shop was avoided--her husband caught it, and died.

There she was, left with two children and everything gone to pay the debts.

She tried to get work; no one helped her.

There was no money to pay anyone to stay with the children; all the work she could get in the house was not enough to keep them alive.

She's not a strong woman.
Well, she put the children out to nurse, and went to the streets.
