When shft told of these day dreams a clue was furnished which led to the whole story. She used to dream) of being hurt and carried to a hospital whore her real parents camo and took her homo. This phantasy de veloped us a uumns of Bntlnfylng her desires to know her real fath er and mother, Besides, sho was poorly nourished and developed.
