I
admired
her
,
I
felt
for
her
—
I
had
no
cause
to
reproach
myself
.
This
is
very
important
,
as
you
will
presently
see
.
On
her
side
,
I
have
reason
to
be
assured
that
the
circumstances
had
been
truly
explained
to
her
,
and
that
she
understood
I
was
in
no
way
to
blame
.
Now
,
knowing
all
these
necessary
things
as
you
do
,
explain
to
me
,
if
you
can
,
why
,
when
I
rose
and
met
that
woman
’
s
eyes
looking
at
me
,
I
turned
cold
from
head
to
foot
,
and
shuddered
,
and
shivered
,
and
knew
what
a
deadly
panic
of
fear
was
,
for
the
first
time
in
my
life
.
’
The
Doctor
began
to
feel
interested
at
last
.
’
Was
there
anything
remarkable
in
the
lady
’
s
personal
appearance
?
’
he
asked
.
’
Nothing
whatever
!
’
was
the
vehement
reply
.
’
Here
is
the
true
description
of
her
:
—
The
ordinary
English
lady
;
the
clear
cold
blue
eyes
,
the
fine
rosy
complexion
,
the
inanimately
polite
manner
,
the
large
good
-
humoured
mouth
,
the
too
plump
cheeks
and
chin
:
these
,
and
nothing
more
.
’
’
Was
there
anything
in
her
expression
,
when
you
first
looked
at
her
,
that
took
you
by
surprise
?
’
’
There
was
natural
curiosity
to
see
the
woman
who
had
been
preferred
to
her
;
and
perhaps
some
astonishment
also
,
not
to
see
a
more
engaging
and
more
beautiful
person
;
both
those
feelings
restrained
within
the
limits
of
good
breeding
,
and
both
not
lasting
for
more
than
a
few
moments
—
so
far
as
I
could
see
.
I
say
,
"
so
far
,
"
because
the
horrible
agitation
that
she
communicated
to
me
disturbed
my
judgment
.
If
I
could
have
got
to
the
door
,
I
would
have
run
out
of
the
room
,
she
frightened
me
so
!
I
was
not
even
able
to
stand
up
—
I
sank
back
in
my
chair
;
I
stared
horror
-
struck
at
the
calm
blue
eyes
that
were
only
looking
at
me
with
a
gentle
surprise
.
To
say
they
affected
me
like
the
eyes
of
a
serpent
is
to
say
nothing
.
I
felt
her
soul
in
them
,
looking
into
mine
—
looking
,
if
such
a
thing
can
be
,
unconsciously
to
her
own
mortal
self
.
I
tell
you
my
impression
,
in
all
its
horror
and
in
all
its
folly
!
That
woman
is
destined
(
without
knowing
it
herself
)
to
be
the
evil
genius
of
my
life
.
Her
innocent
eyes
saw
hidden
capabilities
of
wickedness
in
me
that
I
was
not
aware
of
myself
,
until
I
felt
them
stirring
under
her
look
.
If
I
commit
faults
in
my
life
to
come
—
if
I
am
even
guilty
of
crimes
—
she
will
bring
the
retribution
,
without
(
as
I
firmly
believe
)
any
conscious
exercise
of
her
own
will
.
In
one
indescribable
moment
I
felt
all
this
—
and
I
suppose
my
face
showed
it
.
The
good
artless
creature
was
inspired
by
a
sort
of
gentle
alarm
for
me
.
"
I
am
afraid
the
heat
of
the
room
is
too
much
for
you
;
will
you
try
my
smelling
bottle
?
"
I
heard
her
say
those
kind
words
;
and
I
remember
nothing
else
—
I
fainted
.
When
I
recovered
my
senses
,
the
company
had
all
gone
;
only
the
lady
of
the
house
was
with
me
.
For
the
moment
I
could
say
nothing
to
her
;
the
dreadful
impression
that
I
have
tried
to
describe
to
you
came
back
to
me
with
the
coming
back
of
my
life
.
As
soon
I
could
speak
,
I
implored
her
to
tell
me
the
whole
truth
about
the
woman
whom
I
had
supplanted
.
You
see
,
I
had
a
faint
hope
that
her
good
character
might
not
really
be
deserved
,
that
her
noble
letter
was
a
skilful
piece
of
hypocrisy
—
in
short
,
that
she
secretly
hated
me
,
and
was
cunning
enough
to
hide
it
.
No
!
the
lady
had
been
her
friend
from
her
girlhood
,
was
as
familiar
with
her
as
if
they
had
been
sisters
—
knew
her
positively
to
be
as
good
,
as
innocent
,
as
incapable
of
hating
anybody
,
as
the
greatest
saint
that
ever
lived
.
My
one
last
hope
,
that
I
had
only
felt
an
ordinary
forewarning
of
danger
in
the
presence
of
an
ordinary
enemy
,
was
a
hope
destroyed
for
ever
.
There
was
one
more
effort
I
could
make
,
and
I
made
it
.
I
went
next
to
the
man
whom
I
am
to
marry
.
I
implored
him
to
release
me
from
my
promise
.
He
refused
.
I
declared
I
would
break
my
engagement
.
He
showed
me
letters
from
his
sisters
,
letters
from
his
brothers
,
and
his
dear
friends
—
all
entreating
him
to
think
again
before
he
made
me
his
wife
;
all
repeating
reports
of
me
in
Paris
,
Vienna
,
and
London
,
which
are
so
many
vile
lies
.
"
If
you
refuse
to
marry
me
,
"
he
said
,
"
you
admit
that
these
reports
are
true
—
you
admit
that
you
are
afraid
to
face
society
in
the
character
of
my
wife
.
"
What
could
I
answer
?
There
was
no
contradicting
him
—
he
was
plainly
right
:
if
I
persisted
in
my
refusal
,
the
utter
destruction
of
my
reputation
would
be
the
result
.
I
consented
to
let
the
wedding
take
place
as
we
had
arranged
it
—
and
left
him
.
The
night
has
passed
.
I
am
here
,
with
my
fixed
conviction
—
that
innocent
woman
is
ordained
to
have
a
fatal
influence
over
my
life
.
I
am
here
with
my
one
question
to
put
,
to
the
one
man
who
can
answer
it
.
For
the
last
time
,
sir
,
what
am
I
—
a
demon
who
has
seen
the
avenging
angel
?
or
only
a
poor
mad
woman
,
misled
by
the
delusion
of
a
deranged
mind
?
’
Doctor
Wybrow
rose
from
his
chair
,
determined
to
close
the
interview
.
