In the few seconds that he stood there hesitating he was covered white. He set off at a run for the yards, stopping by the way to inquire in the saloons that were open. Ona might have been overcome on the way; or else she might have met with an accident in the machines.
The great majority of the women who worked in Packingtown suffered in the same way, and from the same cause, so it was not deemed a thing to see the doctor about; instead Ona would try patent medicines, one after another, as her friends told her about them.
The bodies were ransomed, seeing that there was no remedy, the Castle being so strong, and Don Gonzalo was buried in the Monastery of Ona, according as he had appointed in his will; and the Infante Don Sancho with his forefathers the Kings of Navarre, in the royal Monastery of Naxara.
What terror to see what he had been and now could never be to see Ona and his child and his own dead self stretching out their arms to him, calling to him across a bottomless abyss and to know that they were gone from him forever, and he writhing and suffocating in the mire of his own vileness! Early in the fall Jurgis set out for Chicago again.
It was fully a week before they were all normal again, and meantime, with whining children and cross adults, the house was not a pleasant place to live in.

Last Christmas Eve and all Christmas Day Jurgis had toiled on the killing beds, and Ona at wrapping hams, and still they had found strength enough to take the children for a walk upon the avenue, to see the store windows all decorated with Christmas trees and ablaze with electric lights.
We can't get along; we thought you might be able to help us." Jurgis gripped the chair tighter; there were beads of perspiration on his forehead, and his hand shook. "I can't help you," he said. "Ona lies in her room all day," the boy went on, breathlessly. "She won't eat anything, and she cries all the time. She won't tell what is the matter and she won't go to work at all.
Memories of the old life his old hopes and his old yearnings, his old dreams of decency and independence! He saw Ona again, he heard her gentle voice pleading with him. He saw little Antanas, whom he had meant to make a man. He saw his trembling old father, who had blessed them all with his wonderful love.
