Ekwefi has suffered a good deal in her life.. She had borne ten children and nine of them had die at infancy, usually before the age of three.. At last Ezinma was born, and, although ailing, she seemed determined to live. At first Ekwefi accepted her, as she had accepted others -with listless resignation . But when she lived to her fourth, fifth and sixth years, love returned love more to her mother, and, with live, anxiety to nurse her child to health, she put all her being into it.
