The Day Will Come Volume 3 Chapter 6

In which the forlorn figure of Mrs. Porter is found lingering in a once-familiar but now desolate cottage, her mind clouded by a poignant delusion that entwines past sorrows with present despair, prompting Lord Cheriton to summon medical aid in earnest hope of compassionate care. The profound melancholy of shattered ties and the restless brooding of a wounded spirit are tenderly revealed as the dignified melancholy of a house once filled with love gives way to the necessity of mercy and restraint.
