26、. And after 1872 she rarely left her house and yard. In the last years of her life she retreated to a smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In those later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who a

27、ttended her illness was allowed to examine her in another room, seeing her walk by an opened door. She was thought of as a strange figure in her home village.
