Desperate Remedies As he spoke he went back to the press, Cytherea keeping at his elbow. Desperate Remedies I can explain it best by saying that Cytherea had always represented something unknown that I wanted, that always disturbed me and made me dissatisfied. Cytherea Afterwards came the rustle of a lady's skirts down the corridor, and into the room communicating with the one Cytherea occupied. Desperate Remedies Cytherea perceived that the lady's late peaceful warmth had given place to a sweat. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's pictured dreads would not allow her mind to follow their conversation. Desperate Remedies Cytherea said hurriedly, 'Do they know at what hour?' Desperate Remedies Soon Cytherea will go into the attic, have her nose broken, and the rats will eat the clothes from her indifferent body. Cytherea Miss Aldclyffe's tenderness towards Cytherea, between the hours of her irascibility, increased till it became no less than doting fondness. Desperate Remedies Cytherea saw how deeply Miss Aldclyffe sympathized—and it compensated her, to some extent, for the hasty resentments of other times. Desperate Remedies Was he—a clergyman, magistrate, and conscientious man—justified in yielding to Cytherea's importunities to keep silence, because she dreaded the possibility of a return to Manston? Desperate Remedies Miss Aldclyffe took particular interest in Cytherea's appearance that afternoon, and the object of her attention was, indeed, gratifying to look at. Desperate Remedies He would have said, unhesitatingly, that the formal melody of the eighteenth century, of Scarlatti and harpsichords, was the music that best accompanied Cytherea. Cytherea The remark recalled, somewhat startlingly, to Cytherea's mind, that Edward had used those very words to herself one evening at Budmouth. Desperate Remedies Such behaviour as this had ended, on most previous occasions, by her making a confession, and Cytherea expected one now. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was perfectly safe as a single woman whose marriage had been void. Desperate Remedies This done, Cytherea, still in a practical mood, upbraided herself with weakness in allowing a stranger like Mr. Manston to influence her as he had done that evening. Desperate Remedies It was then," Lee specified, "that all my loose ends were gathered up in Cytherea. Cytherea On coming out of church he frequently walked beside Cytherea till she reached the gate at which residents in the House turned into the shrubbery. Desperate Remedies But the lady, having opened the envelope and read a few lines, put it quickly in her pocket, before Cytherea could reach her side. Desperate Remedies And if it turned out that, though this woman was not Manston's wife, his wife was still living, as Owen had suggested, in America or elsewhere, Cytherea was safe. Desperate Remedies Thereupon Cytherea went away to the other window, and a few minutes later left the room to follow her own pursuits. Desperate Remedies His allegiance to Cytherea, though, was in part to the former, to youth; now it seemed to him he had preserved that through all his life. Cytherea A distinct woman's whisper came to her through the keyhole: 'Cytherea!' Desperate Remedies Cytherea stepped out of bed, went to the door, and whispered back, 'Yes?' Desperate Remedies The man's strange bearing terrified Anne as it had terrified Cytherea; for with all the woman Anne's faults, she had not descended to such depths of depravity as to willingly participate in crime. Desperate Remedies She addressed herself as much as Cytherea when she continued, 'Is it a Providence who sent you here at this juncture that I might not be left entirely alone?' Desperate Remedies But his, he added, in an embittered lightness, was an affair of matrimony; it was a moral knot; and it had nothing to do with Cytherea, with the shape, the sea, the island, of Venus. Cytherea Till this instant Miss Aldclyffe had forgotten the reason of Cytherea's seclusion in her own room. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was present at the interview, by Miss Aldclyffe's request—either from whim or design. Desperate Remedies Cytherea, he knew, was still beloved by this solitary woman. Desperate Remedies The two grinders stood and regarded Cytherea as if she had been a ship tacking into a harbour, nearly stopping the mill in their new interest. Desperate Remedies A quality within him, in spite of him, had risen and swept him, under the eyes of Cytherea, beyond every circumstance of his former life. Cytherea Now Cytherea all at once broke into a blush at the consciousness of a great snub she had been guilty of in her eagerness to explain herself. Desperate Remedies His fear of the effect of the lady's jealousy would, they said, thus lead him to conceal from her his new attachment to Cytherea. Desperate Remedies The path the man had taken led, among other places, to Tolchurch, where Cytherea was living. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's fears that at the undressing this suppressed anger would find a vent, kept her on thorns throughout the evening. Desperate Remedies At first, recognizing aspects of Cytherea in Savina, now in Cytherea he merely found certain qualities of the woman. Cytherea The dress being removed, Cytherea took it in her hand and went with it into the bedroom adjoining, intending to hang it in the wardrobe. Desperate Remedies But on a second glance Miss Aldclyffe's proceeding was clearer to Cytherea. Desperate Remedies Instantly the shutters flew together with a slam, and were barred with desperate quickness by Cytherea on the inside. Desperate Remedies Miss Aldclyffe again looked at Cytherea's reflection as if she were on the point of explaining. Desperate Remedies Incomprehensibly the fluctuating clamor—he could distinguish low pitched drums—brought him the vision, pale and remote and mysteriously smiling, of Cytherea. Cytherea She ceased, took Cytherea's hand in her own, lifted the locket with the other, touched the spring and disclosed a miniature. Desperate Remedies The only means by which Cytherea's surname could have been spelt to Miss Aldclyffe must have been by Mrs. Morris or Farmer Springrove. Desperate Remedies In extremely trying moments of bodily or mental pain, Cytherea either flushed hot or faded pale, according to the state of her constitution at the moment. Desperate Remedies She recurred to the subject of Cytherea's want of expertness, like a bitter reviewer, who finding the sentiments of a poet unimpeachable, quarrels with his rhymes. Desperate Remedies But she does attract me," he admitted; "or, rather, she raises a great many questions, natural in a person named Cytherea. Cytherea I am afraid, Cytherea, you don't know much more about the matter than I do myself.... Desperate Remedies Cytherea was not weak enough to shed tears except on extraordinary occasions, but she was fain to begin sobbing now. Desperate Remedies If Mrs. Manston was murdered, as some said, on the night of the fire, Cytherea was the steward's lawful wife. Desperate Remedies The bright penetrating light of morning made a vast difference in the elder lady's behaviour to her dependent; the day, which had restored Cytherea's judgment, had effected the same for Miss Aldclyffe. Desperate Remedies It hadn't, among other things, considered the fascination of Cytherea; a name, a tag, as intelligible as any for all his dissent. Cytherea Cytherea drew a long breath of relief, and prepared to go away. Desperate Remedies Cytherea laid out upon the bed in the next room all that she had been told would be required that evening, and then went again to the little room which had been appropriated to herself. Desperate Remedies Owen waved his hand; Cytherea smiled back to him as if it were unknown to her that she wept all the while. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's mother-wit suddenly warned her in the midst of her excitement that it was necessary not to betray the secret of her love. Desperate Remedies The benches at either side of the fire-place were invariably crowded; and, from her place on the over-mantel, Cytherea's gaze rested on the vivacious or subdued current of life. Cytherea Cytherea did not think her so handsome as on the earlier day; the queenliness of her beauty was harder and less warm. Desperate Remedies The same evening she told Cytherea that she was advertising for a steward, who would live at the old manor-house, showing her the papers containing the announcement. Desperate Remedies Entering the room, he found Manston sitting in the chair which had been occupied by Cytherea on Edward's visit, three hours earlier. Desperate Remedies A flat answer of this kind had ceased to alarm Cytherea. Desperate Remedies Cytherea caught at the chance afforded her of not betraying herself. Desperate Remedies Thus the touch of clothes, which was nothing to Manston, sent a thrill through Cytherea, seeing, moreover, that he was of the nature of a mysterious stranger. Desperate Remedies Cytherea, in spite of herself, was frightened, not only at the weather, but at the general unearthly weirdness which seemed to surround her there. Desperate Remedies Manston could form no reason for Owen's presence, but intuitively linked it with Cytherea's seclusion. Desperate Remedies After a remark that Cytherea need not assist her in dressing unless she wished to, Miss Aldclyffe said abruptly— 'I can tell that young man's name.' Desperate Remedies But even the frigidity of Miss Aldclyffe's morning mood was overcome by the look of sick and blank despair which the carelessly uttered words had produced upon Cytherea's face. Desperate Remedies At Cytherea's entry she turned and looked inquiry. Desperate Remedies She then preceded the maiden upstairs to Cytherea's own room. Desperate Remedies Tell Cytherea that I apologize for having caused her such unnecessary pain, as it seems I did—but it cannot be helped now. Desperate Remedies Cytherea had doubts whether an architect pure would do. Desperate Remedies The names of two tradespeople stood first in Cytherea's share: then came a Miss Hinton: last of all in the printed list was Mr. Springrove the elder. Desperate Remedies Each then started on her rounds: Cytherea going in the first place to the old manor-house. Desperate Remedies Her hair was plentiful, like Cytherea's own; her teeth equalled Cytherea's in regularity and whiteness. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was going to the foot of the stairs to call Mrs. Leat, but before she had accomplished her object, another form stood at the half-open door. Desperate Remedies Her mouth expressed love less forcibly than Cytherea's, and, as a natural result of her greater maturity, her tread was less elastic, and she was more self-possessed. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was an acquisition, and the greeting was hearty. Desperate Remedies No sooner did a thought flash through Cytherea's mind that the man was a lover than she became a Miss Aldclyffe in a mild form. Desperate Remedies Cytherea did not heed it, and still continued in her reverie. Desperate Remedies He seized Cytherea's hand, kissed it tenderly, and carefully replaced it by her side. Desperate Remedies Miss Aldclyffe then retired to bathe her hands and face, and Cytherea drew breath. Desperate Remedies The instincts of her sex and her own practice told Cytherea the next movement. Desperate Remedies At the words she felt the back of Cytherea's little hand tremble against her neck. Desperate Remedies Having once worked herself up to the belief that her head-dress was to be a failure that evening, no cleverness of Cytherea's in arranging it could please her. Desperate Remedies Then Cytherea felt her way amid the darkness of the room till she came to the head of the bed, where she searched for the bell-rope and gave it a pull. Desperate Remedies Cytherea started to her feet at the sound, which broke in upon a fitful sleep that had overtaken her. Desperate Remedies The lady's jewelled ornaments were taken off in silence—some by her own listless hands, some by Cytherea's. Desperate Remedies O Cytherea, can it be that you, too, are like the rest?' Desperate Remedies This vehement imperious affection was in one sense soothing, but yet it was not of the kind that Cytherea's instincts desired. Desperate Remedies His own answer reminded Manston that Cytherea must, by some inscrutable means, have had an inkling of the event. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was not far off, and came in. Desperate Remedies Cytherea followed her to the embrasure of the window. Desperate Remedies Considering that Cytherea possessed at least five times as much of that valuable auxiliary to woman's beauty as the lady before her, there was at the same time some excuse for Miss Aldclyffe's outburst. Desperate Remedies Miss Aldclyffe's eyes and thoughts were so intent upon the miniature that she had not been conscious of Cytherea's start of surprise. Desperate Remedies That idea had been based upon the assumption that Cytherea was not married. Desperate Remedies But what was done could not be undone, and though Cytherea had shown a most winning responsiveness, quarrel Miss Aldclyffe must. Desperate Remedies Cytherea could not resist the evidently heartfelt desire of the strange-tempered woman for her presence. Desperate Remedies To hearts in a despairing mood, compulsion seems a relief; and docility was at all times natural to Cytherea. Desperate Remedies The whole household—master, mistress, and servants—appeared to have forgotten the very existence of such a being as Cytherea. Desperate Remedies He had left off feigning anxiety to do rightly by his first wife, and honestly asked after Cytherea's welfare. Desperate Remedies The compact was thus sealed, and Cytherea, in spite of the failure of her advertisements, was installed as a veritable Companion. Desperate Remedies There, 'tis true, pony and carriage too are getten rather shabby now,' he added, looking round upon the vehicle as if to keep Cytherea's pride within reasonable limits. Desperate Remedies Cytherea, upon the whole, was rather discomposed at this change of treatment; and, discomposed or no, her passions were not so impetuous as Miss Aldclyffe's. Desperate Remedies Cytherea gave her a very small one, as soft in touch and in sound as the bursting of a bubble. Desperate Remedies Cytherea remained with her gaze fixed on the fire. Desperate Remedies She would wait till Miss Aldclyffe referred to her acquaintanceship and attachment to Cytherea's father in past times: then she would tell her all she knew: that would be honour. Desperate Remedies She impressed upon Cytherea's lips a warm motherly salute, given as if in the outburst of strong feeling, long checked, and yearning for something to love and be loved by in return. Desperate Remedies The return of Miss Aldclyffe to consciousness was sufficient to dispel the wild fancies which the loneliness of the night had woven in Cytherea's mind. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was ready in a few moments, and entered the carriage. Desperate Remedies This much was plain, that his earnest desire and intention was to raise in Cytherea's bosom no feelings of permanent aversion to him. Desperate Remedies Cytherea promised to go home, and come the next morning to stay continuously. Desperate Remedies Reason was not sufficiently alert to lead Cytherea to ask herself how such a thing could have occurred. Desperate Remedies Meanwhile Edward and Cytherea, after lingering on the steps for several minutes, slowly descended the slope to the lake. Desperate Remedies Almost the only woman who did not believe this was Cytherea herself, on unmistakable grounds, which were hidden from all besides. Desperate Remedies Miss Graye, Cytherea, I will do anything,' he continued earnestly, 'to give you pleasure—indeed I will.' Desperate Remedies They walked for a few minutes in silence, when Cytherea's eyes accidentally fell upon her brother's feet. Desperate Remedies Taking from his coat a creased and pocket-worn envelope containing Cytherea's letter to himself, Springrove opened it and read it through. Desperate Remedies I love Cytherea Graye with all my soul, and I want to see her happy even more than I do you. Desperate Remedies The envelope contained another envelope in Cytherea's handwriting, addressed to '—— Manston, Esq., Desperate Remedies If he had spoken what he felt, 'I want very much to help you, Cytherea, and have been watching Manston on your account,' she would gladly have accepted his offer. Desperate Remedies Cytherea looked into Miss Aldclyffe's face; her eyes grew round as circles, and lines of wonderment came visibly upon her countenance. Desperate Remedies That is, he was convinced that Cytherea—the hitherto-believed faithful Cytherea—had, at any rate, looked with something more than indifference upon the extremely handsome face and form of Manston. Desperate Remedies This was a translation of the ambiguity of Cytherea's tone which he had certainly never thought of; and he was too ingenuous not to own it. Desperate Remedies Springrove had received Cytherea's bitter and admonitory letter, and he was clearly awakened to a perception of the false position in which he had placed himself, by keeping silence at Budmouth on his long engagement. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was uneasy at the sound—she did not know why, unless it was because her nerves were weakened by the sickness she had undergone. Desperate Remedies The matter was Miss Aldclyffe's mention of the young man as Cytherea's lover, which, indeed, had scarcely ever been absent from his thoughts. Desperate Remedies Coax him to make a promise to her that she shall be his wife at the end of a twelvemonth, and get him, on assenting to this, to write to Cytherea, entirely renouncing her.' Desperate Remedies Cytherea thought; 'it seems as if she knew there was likely to be a letter for me.' Desperate Remedies A rush of feeling at remembering that the same woman, before Manston's arrival, had just as frankly advocated Edward's claims, checked Cytherea's utterance for awhile. Desperate Remedies Cytherea went to Miss Aldclyffe, and told her of the melancholy turn her brother's illness had taken. Desperate Remedies Directly Cytherea had persuaded herself that a kind of heroic self-abnegation had to do with the matter, she became much more content in the consideration of it. Desperate Remedies The steward, too, knew Cytherea's attachment to Edward, and looked keenly and inscrutably at him. Desperate Remedies Edward had learnt, by a letter from home, of the steward's passion for Cytherea, and his mysterious repression of it, afterwards explained by his marriage. Desperate Remedies When he is married to Adelaide Hinton, Cytherea will be induced to marry me—perhaps before; a woman's pride is soon wounded.' Desperate Remedies Miss Aldclyffe at once said that Cytherea might go, and offered to do anything to assist her which lay in her power. Desperate Remedies Taken in connection with her apparent interest in, if not love for, Cytherea, her eagerness, too, could only be accounted for on the ground that Cytherea indeed loved the steward. Desperate Remedies Hence Cytherea was not so alarmed at the sight of him as to render a meeting and conversation with her more than a matter of difficulty. Desperate Remedies His passion for Cytherea grew not only strong, but ineffably exalted: she, without positively encouraging him, tacitly assented to his schemes for being near her. Desperate Remedies One or two persons had said, 'How d'ye do, Mr. Springrove?' and looked at Cytherea, to see how she bore her disappointment. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's eyes beamed gratitude as she turned to leave the room, and hasten to the station. Desperate Remedies At breakfast time, just as Cytherea had again seen the postman pass without bringing her an answer to the advertisement, as she had fully expected he would do, Owen entered the room. Desperate Remedies Young Graye concluded that his Cytherea had forgotten him and his love. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's plan for her future, an intensely simple one, owing to the even greater narrowness of her resources, was already marked out. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's mother had unexpectedly inherited a large fortune and estates in the west of England by the rapid fall of some intervening lives. Desperate Remedies Will he not be hoodwinked by some specious story or another, framed to last till Manston gets tired of poor Cytherea? Desperate Remedies As to caring very deeply for another woman after the loss of Cytherea, it was an absolute impossibility with him. Desperate Remedies Her christian name was Cytherea, and it is easy to guess why. Desperate Remedies Both brother and sister could do this; Cytherea more noticeably. Desperate Remedies Owen showed them now to Cytherea, who instantly began to read them carefully and to think them very beautiful. Desperate Remedies Cytherea saw the motive and appreciated it, nevertheless replying evasively— 'I only guess and fear.' Desperate Remedies Cytherea lingered till the very last, reluctant to follow, and looking alternately at the boat and the valley behind. Desperate Remedies To save time, Cytherea prepared to ascend the plank. Desperate Remedies Then Edward began to pace up and down, and Cytherea, fearing that he would notice her, hastened homeward, flinging him a last look as she passed out of sight. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's world was tolerably vacant at this time, and the young architectural designer's image became very pervasive. Desperate Remedies Owen had gone to the door of Cytherea's room. Desperate Remedies She was about nineteen or twenty, and her name was Cytherea. Desperate Remedies The next impression of which Cytherea had any consciousness was of being carried from a strange vehicle across the pavement to the steps of her own house by her brother and an older man. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's thoughts, still playing about her future, became directed into this romantic groove. Desperate Remedies Cytherea's interest to know how her brother had been received at Mr. Gradfield's broke forth into words at once. Desperate Remedies He relinquished his coaxing tone, and went on sternly: 'And remember this, Cytherea, I am as innocent of deception in this thing as you are yourself. Desperate Remedies The weather was lovely, and the opportunity being the first of the kind offered to them, Owen and Cytherea went with the rest. Desperate Remedies Owen had talked to the young architect of his sister as freely as to Cytherea of the young architect. Desperate Remedies Then the next, and the next, Cytherea always sitting in the stern with the tiller ropes in her hand. Desperate Remedies Cytherea made a companion of her landlady to the extent of sharing meals and sitting with her during the morning of her brother's absence. Desperate Remedies A fly, which somewhat unaccountably was seen lingering in front of the house, was called up, and Cytherea's luggage put upon it. Desperate Remedies Cytherea saw that he noted in her face what had passed in her heart, and that noting it, he continued as decided as before. Desperate Remedies When he asked her her name, she said immediately— '"Cytherea"—and stopped suddenly.' Desperate Remedies From the alacrity with which the order was given and taken, it seemed to Cytherea that Miss Aldclyffe must be a woman of considerable importance. Desperate Remedies In the long and intricately inwrought chain of circumstance which renders worthy of record some experiences of Cytherea Graye, Edward Springrove, and others, the first event directly influencing the issue was a Christmas visit. Desperate Remedies Her form was full and round, its voluptuous maturity standing out in strong contrast to the memory of Cytherea's lissom girlishness. Desperate Remedies With a money-taker's intuition she had rightly divined that Cytherea would bring no profit to the house. Desperate Remedies The young girl was Cytherea Graye; her age was now about eighteen. Desperate Remedies When Cytherea had again been watched out of the room, Miss Aldclyffe asked for writing materials, that she might at once communicate with Mr. Thorn. Desperate Remedies One from Miss Aldclyffe, simply stating that she wished Cytherea to come on trial: that she would require her to be at Knapwater House by Monday evening. Desperate Remedies Yes, the artificial bearing which this extraordinary man had adopted before strangers ever since he had overheard the conversation at the inn, left him now, and he mourned for Cytherea aloud. Desperate Remedies Cytherea felt certain it was the little mystery of her late movements. Desperate Remedies Saying this Cytherea left the room before her companion had answered. Desperate Remedies As Cytherea went along the passage leading to her room her skirts rustled against the partition. Desperate Remedies Cytherea entered her bedroom, and flung herself on the bed, bewildered by a whirl of thought. Desperate Remedies A young lithe woman in an airy fairy dress—Cytherea Springrove: a young man in black stereotype raiment—Edward, her husband. Desperate Remedies Then there was another stillness; Cytherea made a movement which caused a faint rustling of the bed-clothes. Desperate Remedies Cytherea breathed: the person outside was evidently bent upon finding her awake, and the rustle she had made had encouraged the hope. Desperate Remedies Those who remember Greuze's 'Head of a Girl,' have an idea of Cytherea's look askance at the turning. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was now in the vestibule, thinking that if she had told her history, Miss Aldclyffe might perhaps have taken her into the household; yet her history she particularly wished to conceal from a stranger. Desperate Remedies Cytherea, you know who that weak woman is. Desperate Remedies In a minute or two they reached the side door, at which Cytherea alighted. Desperate Remedies Cytherea felt a burning heat come over her, mingled with a sudden irritation at Mrs. Morris's hint. Desperate Remedies However, in spite of this painful reminder of her new position in life, Cytherea left the apartment in a mood far different from the gloomy sadness of ten minutes previous. Desperate Remedies This dialogue tided Cytherea safely onward through the hairdressing till the flowers and diamonds were to be placed upon the lady's brow. Desperate Remedies Soft as was Cytherea's motion along the corridors of Knapwater House, the preternaturally keen intelligence of the suffering woman caught the maiden's well-known footfall. Desperate Remedies Cytherea began arranging them tastefully, and to the very best of her judgment. Desperate Remedies We are poor, Cytherea, aren't we?' he murmured, after a silence, 'and it seems that the two months will close my engagement here.' Desperate Remedies Cytherea said, regarding, as she spoke, the half hidden figure of a man who was seen advancing at a headlong pace down the ravine which lay between the heath and the shore. Desperate Remedies A little earlier than the time named, Cytherea, clothed in a modest bonnet, and a black silk jacket, turned down to the hotel. Desperate Remedies Nobody was present but Mr. Raunham, the nurse having left the room on Cytherea's entry, and the physician and surgeon being engaged in a whispered conversation in a side-chamber. Desperate Remedies Cytherea thought it would be useless to attempt to conceal facts any longer. Desperate Remedies Cytherea was inclined to say no, but remained silent. Desperate Remedies Thus to Cytherea and Owen Graye the question how their lives would end seemed the deepest of possible enigmas. Desperate Remedies Thus ended the dialogue of Thursday, but Cytherea read the verses again in private. Desperate Remedies Cytherea did not break the pause which ensued, and the elder woman appeared now to nerve herself by a superhuman effort. Desperate Remedies An indescribable feeling of sadness shot through Cytherea's heart. Desperate Remedies Cytherea had forgotten herself, and what she was looking for. Desperate Remedies Cytherea, after letting down Miss Aldclyffe's hair, adopted some plan with it to which the lady had not been accustomed. Desperate Remedies But the sight had gone through Cytherea like an electric shock, and there was an instantaneous awakening of perception in her, so thrilling in its presence as to be well-nigh insupportable. Desperate Remedies And I must tell yet more plainly!... you must hear it before I am gone, Cytherea.' Desperate Remedies And was this the woman who had figured in the gate-man's story as answering the name of Cytherea before her judgment was awake? Desperate Remedies Cytherea looked a shade too pretty for a plain dresser. Desperate Remedies Cytherea, red and panting, took up her candlestick and advanced to the table to get a light.
