On Sarah: perhaps saying a subconscious wish to commit suicide was too strong. But I think she was so wretched that she really didn't care whether she lived or died, and so went out into the rain to avoid Bendrix, which someone with a livelier sense of self-preservation wouldn't have done.
But then she would have got the doctor in sooner too if she wanted to survive. The doctor was quoted as saying that he could have saved her with penicillin if he had been called in a week earlier. She knew she was ill, but was indifferent to her fate.
