In this chapter, the main character is called "the demit" or "the key master" of the underworld. He is the guardian of the portal, and he wants to meet with Lady Dedlock one last time. The demit tells him that he has to find her, and meet with her there, to clear up their unfinished business. He asks her to give him her "fresh blood" so that he can see her again. He tells her to meet him in the underworld, and she tells him to do so. She says that she has seen a ghost outside her window the night before, and that it looked like it was outside the window. She asks if it is the ghost that she called the previous night, and the ghost says that it is. She tells the men to keep their distance from her, but they say that it looks like they have to leave her alone. They tell her that she is so attractive that she should hand them some "handsome" . The men stomp on her, saying that they are running away from a tomb in an alley.
