Notes: It is the Spring of 1927 and the Dowager Duchess of Holdernesse’s secretary, Augustus Moran, visits Sexton Blake. He is worried that his benefactor is going mad, with her stories of being haunted by the ghost of her distant ancestor, Bess of Pemberley. Moran describes the particulars of the “Pemberley Curse” which supposedly afflicts her and any other relation of the Darcy family that is present in Pemberley House. After Blake briefly consults with Sherlock Holmes, who has had prior dealings with the duchess’ late husband, the 6th Duke of Holderness, Blake and Tinker travel to Derbyshire to visit the duchess at Pemberley House, where he quickly manages to offend her with his detailed probing into her family history. The Duchess orders Moran to eject Blake and Tinker from her home. However, Blake is determined to see the case through.
