-
that Pelageya built as she was like an ox
-
could be felled by something so small as a typhoid louse.
-
But if there is a crumb of solace to be taken from this tragedy
-
it is the knowledge that there is nothing any of us,
-
any of us could have done.
-
So let us remember fondly Pelagey for who she was.
-
Her...
-
smell...
-
Her fragrant smell...
-
and she was always
-
always attentive to the need of others.
-
She deserves better then that.
