By _January_, 1915 (i.e., a year after the second phase had commenced), she began to dress herself and eat, and also became clean. But she remained for the most part very inactive, sitting stolidly about all day and still without interest in her environment. The impulsive attempts at killing herself disappeared. Although she remained for months to come still inactive, she gradually began to talk a little, began to play a little on the piano, but said little to any one. By _August_, 1915, she still was inactive, shy, standing about, or sitting picking her fingers, occasionally going to the piano, but evidently unable to finish anything. She had to be coaxed to come to the examining room and talked in a low tone. Often she commenced vaguely to speak and then stopped and could not be made to repeat what she had been saying. Affectively she was remarkably frank, sometimes a little surly, or she showed a slight empty uneasiness. She could, however, be made to laugh heartily at times, or did so spontaneously on very slight provocation. Some of her utterances were in harmony with her apparent indifference. It was difficult to get her to say how she felt even when thorough inquiries were made. Once she said, when asked about worrying, “I don’t worry,” or again “I get angry sometimes,” or “I used to worry about my health, I don’t now,” or, when asked what her plans were, she said directly: “I don’t care what happens.” Again she said “I guess I am disagreeable,” or “I guess I am a crank.” Another interesting indication of her state was expressed in her repeated statement, “I don’t know what I want.” But she was oriented in a way, though not sure of her data. She would give most of her answers with a questioning inflection, “This is the Manhattan State Hospital, isn’t it?” or she would say, “I don’t know exactly where I am, it’s Ward’s Island, isn’t it?” and in the same way she gave the day, date and year correctly. But she did not know the names of the physicians. At that time she could give many data about her family correctly, but was slow, even if correct, in calculation, and, though she got the gist of a test story, she left out some important details.
