HYSTERIA

* * * * *

England, 1860

Mother tied my corset too tight again today. I try toblow out my stomach like a horse getting cinched, but she knows mytrick and hoists her skirts up to dig her knobbled knee into myback while she pulls my laces taut.

She must get me ready for my Doctor appointment, andI cannot dare let my excitement show. So I lie abed and refuse mytea and only when she pinches my arms so tight that tears come tomy eyes do I promise Ill be good and do as she bids. But I dawdleand fuss until she swears that Im the most horrid child and thatshe should have let Leery take me to the trolls.

Im not a child, though I act it. I am five andtwenty this December past.

I should be married at this advanced age but no manwould have me for they all know madness runs deep in my family. Myfather speaks to specters like they were corporeal and his brotherand their father before them. But my mothers father did not careshe would give him demented grandchildren. He did not care abouthis sickly daughter who would by miracle not die in giving birth toher only living child. The old fool only cared that his horseswould be stock to the best stud in England.

And so I am worthless.

There are no horses anymore, my father gave them awayto save his soul from Sheol when the Priests came to drive thedemons from him. He now converses with Lucifer all the while motheris brandishing a hot iron toward my skin swearing she will burn meif I am not ready in time.

I would die without my weekly treatments, and if Ishowed the least bit of joy in them she would celebrate myrecovery.

My hysteria runs deeper than a months worth oftreatment can cure.

So I let her pinch me and I pretend to cry.

She yanks my dress down over my head so hard thebuttons get tangled in my hair and though I shriek she does notpause a moment. She scolds and laughs and tells me Im mad like myfather.

I agree I am. I would have to be to so willingly goto what can only be my shame. But if I am shamed, then so are theothers that sit next to me on the hard benches not meeting oneanothers eyes. Not even when their names are quietly called dothey look up, for they know what is to happen and cannot breaktheir concentration of rebellion or relief would come all tooquickly.

We sit on the bench, thighs pressed tight all of ushoping that we may last a half hour, or an hour full if dreams bemade real.

Mother now pierces my scalp with pins and I jump likeI should. If she only knew what a good girl I truly was.

Twenty minutes more and my skin flushes.

Maybe cook has spoilt milk I could sneak to keep mymind from straying but losing my stomach would not be acceptable,Doctor would send me home. I would find another way. This day I hadmy sight set on forty-five minutes.

Four full minutes longer than last.

My mind is singularly set on this and I will notfalter. Not even when Doctor tsk tsks and threatens to manuallytreat me.

I close my eyes and my breath comes in shallowpants.

This will never do.

Mother pulls my earlobe and yells for me to payattention and I obey. Oh, I do, I must, and at this moment she isthe Blessed Madonna come to answer my prayers. She does not let goand I refrain from kissing her pocked cheek, and she directs me outthe door and to the hall tree where my coat hangs.

Now I have made her more angry and it is all for goodthat I missed my breakfast. My hunger will keep my focus sharp anddull my need.

She does not bother to stop and put the coat on, orhers either, she loads me into the ramshackle coach like a crate ofchickens for market and I dare not complain for fear I may havepushed her too far and she keep us home.

The horses clop down the cobblestones and I try myutmost to not let my thighs touch but they do and the tiniestquivers begin like a breeze ruffling feathers. I stomp on mymothers toes and she screeches and drives her elbow into my side,taking my breath away.

I grunt with the sharp pain of trying to take abreath and feel the carriage sway left around a corner.

Only a few moments more.

I know their names, the girls that sit in thathopeful desolate room. I know them all and I would wager they knowmine. Under my lashes I spy upon them and they me. I see the pursedmouths of the mothers, sisters or cousins that have been assignedthe task of companion on these trips. Their pursed mouths andfurrowed brows as they sit and lightly chat about if spring willcome, how the hawker shorted them or the butcher turned the spoiltpart down so that they would not see. But behind their eyes I seethe curious shame. They are all mothers, they understand themechanics, but not the need as they lie under their heavinghusbands with tears in their hair.

No, it is more to my shame that I dance around myroom the nights before treatment, I dare not touch myself thosenights though I can hardly breathe without thinking on it. I onlyallow myself this persecution two nights after, and then I mustmake it hastily as possible. I cannot let anything detract, yousee.

The carriage jerks to a halt and my voice catches. Ifall against my mother and she buffets my shoulder and I feign tosit back down but she has grabbed my hand like a manacle and haulsme out. My feet hardly catch up with my body as she tows me insidethe huge black door. We are timely, but not near soon enough forLorneas appointment is before mine and she has no selfcontrol.

Mother, as well as I, knows that Lornea is thequickest of the lot and deemed on her way to recovery. Lorneasmind is too weak to withstand, and her sorrow at her lack ofcontrol is plain in her tears and she shuffles out of the room eachweek. Despite any sympathy shown she is inconsolable and I want tolaugh at the reserved approval shown her.

May that I be cursed forevermore with this blesseddisease.

I no more place my coat upon my arm than does Lorneaopen the door, the Doctor on her heels with his arm outstretched.Lorneas cousin accepts his enthusiastic handshake and his voicebooms of her cure and his true happiness for her continued mentalhealth.

Lornea, poor lemming caught in the net. She shouldcry and show it for happiness, for that is all that is left toher.

The secretary calls my name and I watch the black andwhite tiles pass under me. I smell the iodine and under it thescent of Lorneas release. It is familiar to me now as my own. Imove behind the curtain. This is as much as I will give.
