He had been given 12 months leave from his Indian regiment in the British army. He sent a letter to her to come and join him in London, but when she arrived at his hotel, he was gone. After a day, her father had still not come back, and the hotel staff advised her to go to the police. This produced no results. A Major Sholto was Morstan's only friend in the country, but he apparently had no idea that his friend was back in England. A few years after her father's disappearance, an ad in the paper asked for Morstan to reveal her address. She sent a reply to the poster, and from that day onward she has received a pearl once a year for the last 6 years. Miss Morstan has now received a new letter asking for her to meet with the sender that night, stating that she can bring 2 friends, but no police. Holmes and Watson agree to accompany her to the rendezvous. Miss Morstan leaves, and Holmes goes to make some inquiries in the interim. At 6, the three of them go to the address given, and on alighting their cab, they are approached by a man who, on finding out that her friends are not police, leads them to another cab which takes them down winding streets to the outside of London. When they arrive, they are greeted by a man at the door, and a high pitched voice from within the house.
