Mrs. Cogdon went to sleep. She dreamed that "the war was all around the house," that soldiers were in her daughter's Pat's room, and that one soldier was on the bed attacking Pat. Mrs. Cogdon, still asleep, got up, left her bed, got an ax from the woodpile outside the house, entered Pat's room, and struck her two accurate blows to the head with the blade of the axe, thus killing her.
