Mattie and her grandfather return to a city in which the church bells ring consistently signaling death and despair, those with money are fleeing the city, and fever victims are dumped in the street. As they approach the coffeehouse, they see a ragged man wheeling a sick woman along the street...... the woman is Maggie's mother.
