      This seems as if he will be performing magic rather than science.

    3. Aylmer resumed these half-forgotten investigations; not, of course, with such hopes or wishes as first suggested them; but because they involved much physiological truth and lay in the path of his proposed scheme for the treatment of Georgiana.

      Does this mean Aylmer is starting to question his abilities to be able to actually help his wife? But instead pushes it to the side and tries to just focus on helping his wife instead of the harm he may put her in?

    5. have caught hold of Georgiana’s heart; whence, however, her husband was inexorably resolved to cut or wrench it away.

    6. t needed but a glance with the peculiar expression that his face often wore to change the roses of her cheek into a deathlike paleness, amid which the crimson hand was brought strongly out, like a bass-relief of ruby on the whitest marble.
