Answer 2

Chisty's mother was in despair because she had given up her hope in Chisty:

• On one occasion Christy's mother was with him in his bedroom, showing him pictures in a storybook, and she told him the names of different animals and flowers present in it.
• She was not successful in getting him to repeat those names. Even though she had talked and laughed with him for hours, Christy made no sign that he had understood anything she said or did.
• He only responded by involuntarily reaching out his hand and grasping one of the dark curls that fell about her neck. She left the room in tears.
• She was in despair because it seemed Christy was beyond help and their relatives' contention that he was an idiot was justified.
• This is one of the instances where Christy's mother,  a determined and courageous woman, was lost in despair.
