Eidolic
Instead, baby Alfred manages to escape his crib and his parents' watchful eyes almost every day thereafter, tottering around until he manages to find Arthur and gurgling happily at the dead man once he does.
It drives his poor mother wild until Arthur simply follows the woman from room to room most of the time, often sitting in the corner and reading the ragged Bible he was buried with.
Alfred's parents worry at first at the way the boy's eyes follow nothing, but after a while they simply dismiss it as a healthy imagination.
They have never been so happy.
