After eating, one of the men approached her and looked at the wound. "The infection must be treated," he said.
He brought a blanket and placed it on her bare shoulders through the tears of her clothes. Then he took a sharp knife and placed it on the whispering coals, "I must burn the wound," he said.
Violette let him do as he told. She was silent and turned her head away. When he attached the knife to the wound, Violette fainted from the intensity of the pain. When she woke up, she found herself inside the building, lying on a mattress covered with a thick blanket. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
