The burden of Sir Sheridan's disappearance not only shocked the Whig party but also very soon circulated in the London evening papers, triggering an initial torrent of confusion and speculation followed by a sense of anti-climax - as if the end of a magic performance had been missed. But a Standard exclusive about the air show came very close to Miss O'Brian's theory of unidentified flying objects, and its coverage of the incident referred to the possibility of creatures from the other planets.
O'Brian, who introduced herself a freelance reporter, was now using both Sheridan's conceit and Franklin's vanity to find her own answers. She was deeply attracted to the study of coffins, and occupied her immense mental faculties in following the clues of Sheridan's mystery which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police.
