Explore "The Judgment of Eve" by May Sinclair on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A year passed. It was winter again, and the Gattys had had sickness in / their house. Aggie had been ailing ever since the birth of the baby that / had succeeded Emmy. And one evening the doctor had to be summoned for / little Willie, who had croup. Willie, not four years old, was the last / baby but three. Yes, he was only a baby himself; Aggie realized it with / anguish, as she undressed him and he lay convulsed on her lap. He was only / a baby; and she had left him to run about with Arty and Catty as if he / were a big boy. She should have taken more care of Willie.
But the gods took care of Willie, and he was better before the doctor / could arrive; and Aggie got all the credit of his cure.
