… When she looked at the children and saw how tired they were, … she thought of the number of trips they had made in past weeks, all to no purpose…, she simply could not face starting out all over again. She put the children in their bedrolls on the floor, lay down herself…and fell asleep…. so soundly that when the planes passed over later, she did not waken to their sound.
