The Mysteries of Udolpho Volume 4, Chapter 7 Summary

  • When the Count goes to find Ludovico, he's vanished from the room. No one can figure out how that's possible, since the room was locked.
  • After about a week, Ludovico is still missing and the mystery remains unsolved.
  • Back to regular castle activity. Du Pont is still hanging around Emily like a lovesick puppy dog, but she's not remotely over Valancourt. Tough luck, buddy.
  • Em goes to visit her old friends at the abbey. You know, the one she stayed at right after her dad's death.
  • While Em is talking to the nuns about the mysterious circumstances of the Marchioness's death, a crazy nun named Agnes keeps piping up.
  • The other nuns tell Em that Agnes is a bit wacky. She can't stop talking about sins and the purgatory of life.
