Son cabinet de consultation n'avait pas désempli et il tenait déjà à la main une longue liste de visites à faire lorsque son domestique lui annonça qu'une dame désirait lui parler. »Dans ce roman mi-mystère mi-histoire de fantôme, la comtesse Narona rend visite au Docteur Wybrow, pensant qu'elle est en train de devenir folle. Elle vient de se fiancer avec Lord Montbarry, qui a quitté pour elle sa fiancée précédente, la gentille Agnès. La comtesse de Narona ne peut maintenant s'empêcher de penser qu'Agnès lui en veut.
