Lady Ducayne by Mary E. Braddon is a story about what happens to the young women who work for the Lady Ducayne. These young women start out in good health but soon become pale, one, and sickly. Strange bite marks appear on the bodies of these ladies. Are they victims of giant mosquitoes, or something much worse than a mosquito?

Damn what ageists! Because she is not young and pretty, Lady Ducayne is already doomed as monster.
