As Vanessa considers what to do, her first important clue arrives in the form of Ernest Dixon, who is worried by the disappearance of his favourite actress; a young woman named Ivy Elliot, who was playing the part of Ophelia. Could the missing girl and unidentified body be one and the same woman?

A fairly interesting yarn spoiled by the strange journey the heroine, Mrs Wetherburn, makes after the Kingstown Regatta when she leaves Kingstown for Dublin to catch a connection to Dun Laoghaire, blissfully unaware that Kingstown and Dun Laoghaire are, in fact, one and the same town.JT Campbell
