He thinks he has found Victoria, but when he returns to London, he learns that Lestrade has found her in another part of the country. A couple of weeks later Rathbone is robbed of all his valuables.

Holmes trades on young Lestrade's sympathy to be given access to Rathbone's house, and learns of Irene's familial relationship to the Rathbones. He infiltrates a costume party given by the Rathbones, disguised as a footman. Later he visits the workhouse to see Paul.

Victoria is kidnapped a second time. Holmes travels to Portsmouth to find the man he believes to be Paul's father and to examine the house where Victoria was previously discovered. He returns to Grimwood Manor to bring the case to a close.

Story: The body of Matilda Hacker is found in the cellar of 4, Euston Square. Hannah Dobbs, the landlady's servant is charged with her murder. Ten years later, Watson presents Holmes with a portfolio of notes on the case, the compiler of which has mysteriously disappeared. Inspector May tells about the discovery of the body. Matilda's brother, Edward, recounts his sister's debts and royal connections. Hannah Dobbs tells of a past filled with abuse and exploitation. Holmes visits the house in Euston Square and finds rat bones. As he reads through the remaining statements, Holmes becomes convinced that Mycroft has manipulated him into becoming involved, and that the murder investigation really involves two separate cases. The documents reveal secual scandal and a conspiracy against the monarchy.

NOTE: When Inspector May first visits Euston Square one of the lodgers is "a carpenter and joiner looking for work" (P.21). He is not named, but the 1881 UK census lists a William Prince, cabinetmaker, as one of Bastendorff's lodgers. It is not clear if this is deliberate or coincidental on Pearsall's part.

NOTE 2: Bastendorff's eldest daughter is named Matilda here. The 1881 census lists his eldest child as Christine Bastendorff.

NOTE 3: Bastendorff's friend, Mr Whiffling the Gower Street cabinet maker, would appear to be Karl L.F. Wippling, recorded in the 1881 census as living at 48 Gower Place.

At Fulbright Hall an engagement party is under way for Sir Edward's daughter Alice, and her fiancé, Bridewell. Fulbright suspects Bridewell's friend Ross of having a hidden reason for being at the Hall. A howling is heard on the Moor and Fulbright, Bridewell, Ross and his manservant Abercrombie set out to investigate.

The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive in the TARDIS, having been aiming for India and a chance to meet Kipling, who, it later transpires, is in the area, but still a schoolboy. Sarah encounters the creatures, swiftly followed by the hunters from the Hall. The Doctor decides to investigate. Police officer Faversham is investigating the disappearances of several children, and when the fisherman's body is brought in he calls on Doyle, whose whaling ship, the Hope, is docked in the harbour, to examine the body.

The missing children are being held captive and are all forced to undergo the "Change". Sarah and the Doctor stay at the Hall. The Doctor is loaned a deerstalker and chequered cape coat for a trip into town to view the body with Doyle. Kipling and schoolmates, Dunsterville and Beresford form an attachment to Sarah. The creatures and the missing children appear to be connected to a new factory owned by Breckinridge, and to Doyle's ship.

Alice overhears Ross planning to search the Hall, and is drugged when she attempts to open his booby-trapped luggage. Ross and Abercrombie disappear from the Hall. Sarah, the Doctor, Doyle and Fulbright set out to trap the creature, but Ross appears and kills it. Sarah tours the factory, including Breckinridge's large marine aquarium. Doyle and the Doctor's autopsy reveals that the creature was a ten-year-old boy, and they and Sarah set out to sea to investigate the fisherman's death. They are attacked and Sarah is saved by a mermaid and Doyle's skills as a harpooner.

Sarah and Kipling are kidnapped while lying in wait for grave robbers, and taken to the factory, and from there to an underwater laboratory where Ross's brother is engaged in genetic experiments. The Doctor, Doyle and Ross join forces to stage a rescue, and the missing children are taken, by TARDIS, to a new home.

Story: Thibault arrives in England with information for the Government, but not does not meet his expected contact. Visiting Sherlock in Oxford, Mycroft is called on by Cabinet Secretary Swarthmoor to look into Thibault's disappearance, and finds himself being watched as he returns home. Thibault's mistress arrives in London, and Mycroft suggests that she is an agent of the French Government. He discovers that his shadows are Russian Princess Sophie Trubetskoy and her man Cyril, and learns from them that Bismarck's agent, Guttmann, whom Sophie blames for her sister's death, is in England.

Abigail finds a dead man in Silent Pool, near Ranmore Hall, but when the police search, it has disappeared and she is not believed, but is given a job at the Hall, where she comes to the attention of Guttmann. Guttmann arranges for farmboy Billy Lavendar to be disposed of. Mycroft and Sophie visit Sir George Chesney who suggests that the plot may involve the defence of Dorking Gap, a major strategic location in the event of an invasion of Britain.

After identifying Thibault's body, pulled from the Thames, Sophie plans to accompany Mme Tirard to France but she disappears, while Mycroft attempts to send Sherlock to Dorking, but instead receives advice on the importance of European railways to his investigation. With limited time to prove his theory to his superiors, Mycroft and Cyril travel to Dorking, where he learns that a German marching band is arriving to play at a fete at Ranmore Hall. When Mycroft is captured and imprisoned in a well, Sophie enlists Chesney and Captain Barnaby to aid in his rescue.

Mycroft is sent to Vanderlys to investigate, taking Cyril as his valet, but delays the visit after spotting Guttmann at the theatre.

On the train, he begins to suspect that a domestic staff agency may be at the root of the matter. On arriving in Warwickshire, he learns that an arrest has been made, but sets about proving that the girl accused is innocent. His life is endangered in an infectious diseases ward, and he visits the staff agency. He is lured to an island on the Norfolk coast where he finds Sherlock, who has been drugged and brought there by Moriarty, waiting for him. The plot leads them to Dorset, where Mycroft believes another despatch is to be intercepted. He discovers that Barnaby and Princess Sophie have been sent ahead of him, and both the papers and the Princess disappear.

Story: Mycroft is present when Marshall Hall consults Holmes over a case he is defending. Diana Tuttle has been accused of poisoning her employer and lover, Meadowthorpe. Holmes is engaged in the Lauriston Gardens affair, so Mycroft decides to take on the case. He enlists Princess Sophie to visit Tuttle in jail and learn more about the events of the night of Meadowthorpe's death. They also learn more of Manyon, whose daughter was Meadowthorpe's fiancée, and who was at the doctor's house on the night of his death, who has property dealings in the Hampstead area. Mycroft's investigations suggest that Manyon has links with the Prince of Wales's baccarat playing crowd.

Mycroft is warned off the case by his superiors, and reasons that Tuttle's solicitors are doing all in their power with the co-operation of the prison authorities not to have their client hanged as he previously thought, but to prevent the trial, or at least the evidence, ever coming to court. On a second visit to Hampstead, Mycroft learns that one of the principal witnesses in the case has been found drowned, and finds himself under arrest. Meanwhile, Sherlock suggests the case may be designed to draw Mycroft's attention away from other matters. Eventually Mycroft becomes aware of the presence of his old adversary Guttmann.

He is invited by Princess Alexandra to spend a week at Sandringham House, where he encounters a cockatoo, also named Mycroft, and the Prince of Wales, and where another man is shot in mistake for him. The successful conclusion of the affair depends on Mycroft and Marshall Hall's courtroom defense of Tuttle, and Sherlock's knowledge of typewriters.
