Question

How did Sue pacify her at a time when Johnsy had no hope of surviving?​

Answer 1

She would sit beside Johnsy's bed and paint so that she could earn for herself and Johnsy. She comforted Johnsy and dealt with her cranky behaviour very patiently. With her cheerful disposition and her optimism, she tried her best to reassure Johnsy that the old ivy leaves had nothing to do with her illness.
