By examining Holder's house and its environs, and interviewing his niece Mary, Holmes discovers that it was in fact she who had, under the influence of her lover the notorious Sir George Burnwell, stolen the coronet. Holmes tracks down and confronts Burnwell and secures the return of the jewels, which he gives to Holder.
