The package appeared on the doorstep that night, as on every Valentine eve since 1881.

Cecily Addams-Harcourt brought it in and hid it, as always. She simpered at her husband's roses, beamed at the children's messy confections of paste and doilies. But the package beckoned all day,
as always.

That night, she crept downstairs and opened it. A painting of herself, nude, supine, throat ripped out bloodily.

She hid it with the others - a poem in blood, bloodstained kid gloves, lace obviously torn from a dress, a china doll resembling her, head half-crushed.

Retching, she went back to bed.
