Sherlock Holmes talks to the mathematician, Mr Dylan, who used to work with Sarah Laine, and the only information he has is that she left, and he tells him to talk to the editor of a publishing house. This man, Ayrton Fairnburn, says that Sarah was a very intelligent woman who delved into spiritualism. She started to follow the ideas of Hyppolite Baraduc, who believed that it was possible to bring spirits into the physical world. Mr Fairnburn had to let her go when after an experiment failed, a young man died. This was Alban Laughty, and he claims that even though everybody thought it was suicide, the man died as a consequence of the experiment going wrong. After that, Sarah and others founded the real society of Baraduc, and this is the next place Holmes plans to check.
Cox goes to an impoverished area in London where Lambalda's husband has a flat. Lambalda thinks that he has the girl there. Cox sees the shape of two people inside, and when a policeman sees him, trying to get in, Cox has to break into the flat, not bothering to hide his presence, and what he sees is the duke with another man, which is what he later tells Lambalda. Yet, there is no trace of the girl.
