Chapter 11,12,or 13
He first thinks about the baby sister whom he lost when a youth in Lantern Yard, and with this thought a flood of memory and emotion returns to him for the first time since he came to Raveloe. Tenderness mounts within him as the child awakes, crying softly for "mammy." Marner comforts and feeds the child, realizing only after a while that the child came in from the snow. Marner follows her footprints out away from his door and comes to a huddled body in the snow.
