The doctor was surprised. The little girl was not there. Elda told that she had kept Heide’s shoes and shawl
to remind her of Heide. The doctor got up and looked. He saw the same ragged shawl on a hook and a pair of shabby shoes on the floor. As he looked closely he found them wet.

Then, touching her feverish head once more, he took his black bag, stepped out into the dark hallway, and closed the door.
