520			_a"Saved from Herself; or, On the Edge of Doom" by Adelaide Stirling is a novel written in the late 19th century. It appears to be a romantic-sensation tale that blends crime, blackmail, and social intrigue, following the beautiful but neglected Ismay Trelane and her scheming mother, Helen, as they collide with the le Marchant household and the charismatic Miles Cylmer. A suspicious death, missing diamonds, and a dangerous blackmailer set the tone, while Sir Gaspard le Marchant and his daughter Cristiane provide a refuge that may become a trap. The opening of the story introduces Ismay, sent home from school to a mother intent on trapping Lord Abbotsford into marriage, and shows Ismay’s impulsive night at a music hall where a handsome stranger protects and feeds her. Soon after, Helen sneaks into Abbotsford’s house with a latch-key at his summons, finds him dead in a rose-colored room, panics, and—at Ismay’s urging—returns only to remove her photograph as Mr. Cylmer briefly enters and later discovers the body. An inquest rules murder by person unknown; the diamonds vanish; and the unscrupulous Marcus Wray, who saw Helen’s comings and goings, extorts the jewels and threatens exposure to gain power over Ismay. Cornered, Helen appeals to her cousin, Sir Gaspard le Marchant—recently told he is dying—who brings Helen and Ismay to his estate as companions for his daughter Cristiane; there, Cylmer (Ismay’s unnamed rescuer) proposes to Cristiane and is rejected, meets Helen with a troubling sense of recognition, and the stage is set for intersecting desires, secrets, and danger.
