　　Franklin Blake, meanwhile, received a letter from Rosanna saying that she knew what he had done on the night the Moonstone disappeared. She had found paint stains on his clothes when she cleaned his room. She admitted that she had hidden the evidence because she loved him and wanted to keep him out of trouble. The letter confused Franklin and he decided that he had to talk to Rachel, even though she was still angry with him. When they met, Franklin was shocked to hear Rachel telling him that she had seen him take the diamond, but had protected him from me by not answering my questions.

　　Poor Franklin found the news deeply disturbing. Was it possible that he had stolen Rachel's diamond and then forgotten that he did it? In all my years as a detective I have never heard of a thief having such a loss of memory. And where had he put the jewel if he had taken it?

　　Fortunately, Dr Candy had the solution. You may remember that Franklin was suffering from lack of sleep at the time of Rachel's birthday, and had upset Dr Candy with his remarks about doctors. Later that evening Dr Candy had put some opium into Franklin's drink to prove to him that it would help. Franklin slept very well that night dreaming about the diamond, and without waking up, he had moved it to his bedroom where he thought it would be safer.
