Esther awakes to the dim realization that she is being pulled out of her self-chosen grave site. She awakens blindly in the hospital. Esther's mother, brother, and George Bakewell, a church friend and doctor at the hospital, visit her. Asking the nurse for a mirror, Esther first thinks the reflection is a painting of a crazed woman, but when she smiles, the figure in the painting also smiles. Recognizing herself, Esther laughs at the horror of her image and dashes the mirror to the ground.
Shortly thereafter, Esther is moved to a big Boston hospital. It is an unpleasant place, and Esther's roommate Mrs. Tomolillo dislikes Esther, who is strenuously uncooperative with the staff, kicking an attendant who delivers food and causing a nurse's thermometers to fall to the ground. Esther is transferred to another space for severe cases. Mrs. Greenwood agrees to try to move Esther to a better facility if Esther promises to behave.
