Part 3, Chapter 49 Summary: “Emily”

Emily and Freddie host a party, inviting locals and their old friends from London. While the guests are downstairs, Emily summons the courage to search the primary suite for the item the ghost urged her to find. She is interrupted by Joe, who says that he would love to paint her. Emily has seen the Raven with its new mate, and wonders if she should also find someone new. Later, she encounters Sally on the middle landing, staring at the spot where the upturned nail has been removed. Looking confused and startled, Sally tells Emily she has a migraine.

Part 3, Chapter 50 Summary: “Emily”

Joe expresses concern for his wife and takes her home. Meanwhile, Merrily Watkins tells Emily that she and Sally were once close friends. Merrily observes that Sally’s personality has changed dramatically, as she was once intensely jealous of any woman who looked at or spoke to Joe.


Years ago, Sally became convinced that Joe was having an affair with an art teacher named Georgina Usher. Georgina disappeared overnight after Sally warned her that she would kill her if she did not leave Joe alone. Immediately afterward, Joe and Sally got engaged, and Sally never showed a trace of her former jealousy.
