The next morning, the house is aflutter with activity as three guests report missing items. Mr. Vinge’s pocket watch, Georgie’s notebook, and Mrs. Hereward’s ditty bag are missing. Milo’s parents assume the owners have simply misplaced the items and request that Milo help Mrs. Caraway in the kitchen while they sort out the issue. After a thorough search of the rooms, however, the items are still missing, and the victims turn an accusing eye toward Clem and Mr. Gowervine, the only guests who were not robbed.

Sirin tells Negret they must use this opportunity to learn more about the guests, so Negret speaks with Georgie and offers to help locate the missing notebook. Georgie last saw the notebook just before bed after she finished setting up her camera. Georgie admits that the notebook is special because it contains notes about Greenglass House, but she cannot reveal specifics. Negret then interviews Mrs. Hereward, who explains that she inherited the ditty bag from her great-great-great-grandmother, who was intended to be the original owner of Greenglass House but never lived there. Mrs. Hereward believes that a peddler sold Julian Roamer’s knife, considered a relic to some, to the owners before they abandoned the house.
