In The Violet Paget Library, the books of Vernon Lee are restored to the listening ear: tales of Italy and old houses, of beauty, memory, music, and those subtle presences by which the past continues to inhabit the present. Here, in full readings, one may wander beneath cypresses, through dim galleries and sunlit villas, attending to a mind for whom art was never inert, but always alive, persuasive, and a little spectral.Public domain

    In which the troubled Mr Oke reveals his deep and painful affection for his wife, veiled by a growing jealousy and suspicion that seems almost intangible even to himself. His unease manifests in nervous watchfulness and peculiar fears, while Mrs Oke dismisses these anxieties with a cool, indifferent disdain that only deepens the melancholy of the scene.
