Helen soon gets more and more into debt so resorts to selling her cattle so she can buy small provisions in order to survive, Helen still has another child on the way and winter is coming. In the book it says it's "sad and sorry". This describes how Helen is feeling very well and very simply. "Sad and sorry" is also alliteration so its more effective. This event creates a lot of sympathy for Helen as she is only young and is barely able to do things for herself. Elizabeth Gaskell sets the scene in winter to make it seem more cruel and unforgiving.

Helen's sister, aunt-Fanny, comes to help her and this gives Helen some light at the end of the tunnel. It makes the reader feel that things might turn around for Helen.Then though, the author dumps all the sadness back on Helen by saying, "the little girl took ill of scarlet fever and in a week she lay dead." Elizabeth puts the child's death very bluntly "In a week she lay dead". This makes it sound more dramatic. The writer uses emotive language to make us feel sympathy for the child and Helen, she puts, "she sat holding the poor wee lassie's hand and looking in her pretty, pale, dead face, without so much as shedding a tear". The writer uses the words "pretty, pale and dead face" there is alliteration to add effect. Elizabeth Gaskell uses the word "wee" so it sounds like the child is very small and innocent. Helen does not shed a tear. Elizabeth Gaskell wants to show us that Helen is so upset that she cannot even bring herself to cry. The child's funeral was set in the snow as it symbolises the purity of the child. After the birth of Gregory (the old half-brother) Helen begins feel human emotions and cries non-stop for a long time "and she cried day and night, day and night" this is repeated to add effect and to show how long she cried for. Helen probably started to express herself a lot more because when Gregory was born it is a new reason for her to care about life again and now she has something to love and live for.
