"I
saw a sickly baby in the arms of a terrified woman whose drunken
husband had thrown the wailing, naked infant into the snow,” she
recounts, and “I remember having keen sympathy with that man!” His
wife had given birth to eleven children, six of them living, and the last
“evidently had eczema” and “whined night and day,” so the situation was
just “too much” for the father, and “out of the door into the snow the
nuisance went!”
