He cannot put his finger on it, though. He does not know if she is just happy to be lucid, or if she has been feeling lonely</u>:

<em>I was beginning to feel uneasy, because she regarded me with such intensity. Those bright eyes. I  wondered -- </em><u><em>are old people in place like this so lonesome, so abandoned that they go wild when  someone visits? Or was she so happy because she was suddenly lucid and everything was sharp  and clear?</em></u><em> My mother had described those moments when my grandmother suddenly emerged  from the fog that so often obscured her mind. </em><u><em>I didn't know the answers, but it felt kind of  spooky, getting such an emotional welcome from her.</em></u>
