Desperate Remedies 非常手段
Hardy described "Desperate Remedies" as a tale of \'mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity\'. Cytherea has taken a position as lady\'s maid to the eccentric arch-intriguer Miss Aldclyffe. On discovering that the man she loves, Edward Springrove, is already engaged to his cousin, Cytherea comes under the influence of Miss Aldclyffe\'s fascinating, manipulative steward Manston.
