The gang were taken to the [[Slike Hall|Manor house]] by Edna, which had inspired her short story for the anthology, and she told them that she and Helen had visited the house as children and were taken in by [[Slike (Mystery Lady)|Lady Slike]]. On investigation of the house it was discovered that the [[Slike family]] were long gone, but their butler [[Smythe (Mystery Lady)|Smythe]] still remained - and Cassandra immediately identified him as the man who had attempted to steal the manuscript from Helen on the train. However, Smythe refused to admit any involvement in the current goings on and insisted that he had attempted to obtain the manuscript to protect Helen from danger. | The gang were taken to the [[Slike Hall|Manor house]] by Edna, which had inspired her short story for the anthology, and she told them that she and Helen had visited the house as children and were taken in by [[Slike (Mystery Lady)|Lady Slike]].

Although, Edna believed that Helen could have been spurred on by reading her story to return to Slike Hall and take up the mantle of Moth Lady. At this point Helen returned to Slike Hall and attempted to kill Smythe by sucking his blood, as moth women require the blood of animals and men, but Smythe survived and encouraged the others to burn torches to scare the creature away. The manor house caught fire and the place burned to the ground. | ||
