On the eve of his departure to Lirnmeridge, Walter Hartright encounters a mysterious woman on Hampstead Heath.
Walter Hartright was startled by the resemblance of Laura Fairlie to the woman in white, whose identity he has discovered.
While Walter has left England, Laura has married Sir Percival Glyde, who is trying to cheat her out of her fortune.
Overheard by Marian, Glyde has confessed to Fosco that he is deeply in debt and is terrified that Anne Catherick will reveal his deadly secret.
Fosco and Glyde have deprived Laura of her fortune and Anne Catherick lies buried in Limmeridge churchyard as Lady Glyde.
