Headnote vignette for the fourteenth part of Collins's The Woman in White: A Novel (1860).

In visiting the boat-house on their walk to the lake, Fosco notices the blood on the floor, and points it out to Glyde. Marian resolves the mystery by mentioning the death of Mrs. Catherick's spaniel there. The news that Mrs. Catherick has visited the house unaccountably upsets Glyde.
