- Later that night Walter walks home from his mom's house.
- A strange woman dressed all in white suddenly appears and asks Walter the way to London.
- Walter is freaked out by her sudden appearance.
- The woman acts really weird, too.
- No one else is around, so Walter reluctantly escorts the weird lady the few miles to London.
- The woman rambles on about stuff that makes little to no sense.
- She makes some references to a mysterious baronet she's afraid of, and to Limmeridge. Weird coincidence. (Except not, because Collins went to the Dickens school of novel writing, where coincidences are actually the norm.)
- Walter finally gets the lady to a carriage and she takes off.
- A few minutes later, some guys rush up and waylay a cop.
- They tell him a crazy lady dressed in white has just escaped from an asylum.
- Whoops.
