The Doctor tasks Ann with keeping an eye on the house and, having suspicions, acquires a [[map]] from Wildman. He joins Ada in playing [[cribbage]] at the [[Babblewick Arms]], where she has been [[gambling]] since [[William King|Lord King]] [[exile]]d her to Newstead Abbey for landing him in [[debt]] with a failed gambling syndicate. On their way back in Wildman's [[carriage]], the [[horse]] is spooked by a figure which Ada believes to be the [[ghost]] of her father, [[George Gordon Byron|Lord Byron]], whom only she had been able to see until now. They head to Lord Byron's [[tomb]] at [[Church of St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall|St Mary's]] and see him again; he calls out for Ada and beckons her to him, giving her a message in [[binary]] and disappearing when plague doctors arrive. | The Doctor tasks Ann with keeping an eye on the house and, having suspicions, acquires a [[map]] from Wildman.

Ann discovers that Ada is missing | Ann discovers that Ada is missing and looks at her [[notebook]]s despite Hobhouse's protestations, finding drawings and numbers which she and Hobhouse have little time to interpret before they are forced to hide in the [[wardrobe]] from somebody. Unsure of how Ada left the building and how whoever entered her [[bedroom]] got out, Ann finds a secret passageway to the [[garden]]s and she and Hobhouse see a woman selling Ada's notebooks to a man with a non-[[Great Britain|British]] [[accent]]. The Doctor and Ada return soon after, having fled from the plague doctors, and are met by Wildman who accuses the Doctor of leading Ada astray. When the Doctor tells him that they went to St Mary's, both Ada and Wildman claim that there is no such [[church]] and it no longer appears on his map. | ||

''to be | The Doctor and Ann are locked up whilst Wildman has Hobhouse fetch the [[constabulary]] and explain to Ada that they travelled to London to meet [[Charles Wheatstone]]. However, they found that his house and entire [[street]]s had vanished after sightings of plague doctors and their investigations led them to Newstead Abbey. Ada does not believe them and departs, but Hobhouse releases them and points them towards [[Edvard Scheutz]], a [[Sweden|Swedish]] rival of [[Charles Babbage]] who has been paying Hettie to steal Ada's notebooks for him to gain the upper hand since Ada refused to assist him. The Doctor recognises the content of Ada's notebooks as [[Block Transfer Computation]]s and Scheutz reads out one of them, summoning a horde of plague doctors to the building. | ||
