markable was the fact that she then told
of various erotic experiences in her life, though with a
distinctly moral attitude and minimizing them.

6. On _June 16_ another state was initiated with peculiar
ideas, the setting of which is not known, as she told them
only to the nurses. She said that she was not Mrs. W. but
the Queen of England, again that she was an actress, or
again the wife of a wealthy Mr. B., and that she was going
to have a baby. But at night she is said to have been
agitated and afraid she was to be executed. She asked to be
allowed to go to bed again, then stopped talking, and
remained in this mute condition for about a week. She often
left her bed and went back again, remained much with a
perplexed expression. On one occasion she put tinsel in her
hair saying it was a golden crown.

7. At the end of that time she became freer and more
natural, and remained so for three weeks. She occupied
herself somewhat. When asked what had happened in the
condition preceding, said she thought she was a queen or
was to be a queen.

8. Towards the end of this period she had again three more
absorbed days, but when examined on the third of these days
got rather talkative and somewhat drifting in her talk on
superficial topics.

9. Two days later she began to sing at night, kissed
everybody, said it was the anniversary of her meeting her
husband, again cried a little, and on the following morning
began to sing love songs, with a rather ecstatic mood, and
at times stood in an attitude of adoration with her hands
raised. This passed over to a more elated state, during
which she smiled a good deal, often quite coquettishly; she
sang love songs softly; on one occasion put a mosquito
netting over her head like a bridal veil; or she held her
fingers in the shape of a ring over a flower pinned to her
breast. But even during this state she said little, only
once spoke of waiting for her wedding ring, and again, when
asked why she had been singing, said "I was singing to the
man I love." (Why are you so happy?) "Because I am with
you" (coquettishly).

This, however, represented the end of the psychosis. She
improved rapidly. At first she smiled rather readily, but
soon began
