Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor, but he was a failure in art. For forty
years he had wielded the brush but had not made any money. He had been always about to paint
a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. For several years, he had only made a few paintings. He
earned a little by serving as a model to the young artists in the colony who could not afford other

models. He always talked of his coming masterpiece.
Sue told Behrman about Johnsy's fancy. Old Behrman was shocked that anyone could have such
idiotic "imaginings”. “What!” he cried. "Are there people in the world foolish enough to die because
of leaves dropping off from a vine ? I have not heard of such a thing. Why did you allow this thought
to enter her brain?"
"She is

ill and weak," said Sue. "The fever has made her mind full of fancies."

Johnsy was sleeping when the two went upstairs. Sue showed Behrman the ivy vine that Johnsy saw
through the window. They looked at each other for a moment without speaking, and then began their

Next morning, when Sue woke up, she found that Johnsy was staring at the closed window again
with dull, wide-open eyes.
"Open the window; I want to see," she ordered. Sue obeyed.
But, lo! even after the rain and the fierce wind that blew throughout the night, there yet stood against
the brick wall one ivy leaf. It was the last on the vine. Still dark green near its stem, but with its edges
tinted with yellow, it hung bravely from a branch some twenty feet above the ground.
