Yesterday evening, Kim had the unenviable task of reading the last 2 chapters of Charlotte's Web, which includes the chapter where Charlotte dies, to Ellen. It's a very sad part and Ellen totally lost it, WAILING for about 20 minutes. So, after some settling down, she was OK. However, she told me a story that this afternoon, in the car, Ellen started crying again, exclaiming, "It's not fair that Charlotte had to die. Doesn't anyone know what loyalty is??"
