Hosmer Angel vanished on what was to have been their wedding day. Holmes quickly develops a theory as to what happened and his suspicions are soon confirmed. Holmes chooses not to tell Mary Sutherland the truth of the case because he is certain that it would hurt her. He has to admit that no crime has been committed, although he feels that a cruel trick has been played on Mary Sutherland and that its perpetrator deserves to be punished.
