Somerset Maugham  \nI  \nTHE DAY BROKE GRAY AND DULL. The clouds hung heavily, and there was a rawness in the air that suggested snow. A woman servant came into a room in which a child was sleeping and drew the curtains. She glanced mechanically at the house opposite, a stucco house with a portico, and went to the child’s bed.  \n“Wake up, Philip,” she said.  \nShe pulled down the bed-clothes, took him in her arms, and carried him downstairs. He was only half awake.  \n“Your mother wants you,” she said.  \nShe opened the door of a room on the floor below and took the child over to a bed in which a woman was lying. It was his mother. She stretched out her arms, and the child nestled by her side. He did not ask why he had been awakened. The woman kissed his eyes, and with thin, small hands felt the warm body through his white flannel nightgown. She pressed him closer to herself.  \n“Are you sleepy, darling?” she said.  \nHer voice was so weak that it seemed to come already from a great distance. The child did not answer, but smiled comfortably. He was very happy in the large, warm bed, with those soft arms about him. He tried to make himself smaller still as he cuddled up against his  \nOf Human Bondage  \nmother, and he kissed her sleepily. In a moment he closed his eyes and was fast asleep. The doctor came forwards and stood by the bed-side.  \n“Oh, don’t take him away yet,” she moaned.  \nThe doctor, without answering, looked at her gravely. Knowing she would not be allowed to keep the child much longer, the woman kissed him again; and she passed her hand down his body till she came to his feet; she held the right foot in her hand and felt the five small toes; and then slowly passed her hand over the left one. She gave a sob.  \n“What’s the matter?” said the doctor.“You’re tired.”  \nShe shook her head, unable to speak, and the tears rolled down  \nher cheeks. The doctor bent down.“Let me take him.”  \nShe was too weak to resist his wish, and she gave the child up. The doctor handed him back to his nurse.  \n“You’d better put him back in his own bed.”  \n“Very well, sir.” The little boy, still sleeping, was taken away. His mother sobbed now broken-heartedly.  \n“What will happen to him, poor child?”  \nThe monthly nurse tried to quiet her, and presently, from exhaustion, the crying ceased. The doctor walked to a table on the other side of the room, upon which, under a towel, lay the body of a stillborn child. He lifted the towel and looked. He was hidden from the bed by a screen, but the woman guessed what he was doing.“Was it a girl or a boy?” she whispered to the nurse.  \n“Another boy.”  \nThe woman did not answer. In a moment the child’s nurse came back. She approached the bed.  \n“Master Philip never woke up,” she said. There was a pause.
