Warning: Spoilers
What baffles me is: 1. Vera invites herself in when the children tell her to wait.

2. She scopes the place, then she pauses peering at the noise record player taking the liberty of silencing it.. 3. Louise mother gets off phone "oh hello" to the mysterious stranger. Mom was feeding her infant son daughters and friends girl.

4. Vera sets herself down and makes herself at home by the baby and right away stops baby from banging spoon.

5. Louise doesn't ask any credentials at all takes for granted this woman knows her husband due to what Vera says. I guess we were more trusting in those days?

6. Vera does have an apartment other than the room, all decorated for the baby and a creepy looking baby boy doll that crawls up ones spine!

7. Vera takes lonny the baby on outings lying g to the maid.

8. It irritated the H out of me when that maid took heresy of Vera "She said it would be OK with you." Ide be livid too! If it didn't come out of my mouth why would she take the word of a stranger?????. I believe she'd get walking papers. For the only reason of going against what was originally agreed upon. This is her child!! Ide be frightened Thank goodness she found him. I guess Vera as disturbed as she was couldn't think of everything including leaving coat. Thank God baby was OK. He wouldn't have been as soon as he'd start crying uncontrollably Louise at her place. Police woman showed up and handled it so cleverly and compassionately.

It is scary and utmost disturb I ng that. Her husband left her she went into pre labor the baby died she unhinged. Losing a child I can never imagine. 😔 she'll get the help she needs so badly. Whether she will ever come to terms with her loss or not many times "they" don't.
