Laura meets Anne by the (lake/sea/river) (0). lake. Anne tells her that Sir Percival has a terrible secret but, before she can tell Laura the secret, she runs away. When Sir Percival hears of their meeting he gets angry and does not believe Laura when she says she knows nothing about the secret. A couple of days later Marian climbs up on to the (library/bedroom/study) (1)roof to listen to a conversation between Fosco and Sir Percival. She hears that Sir Percival would get twenty thousand pounds and Fosco's wife ten thousand pounds if (Laura died/Mr Fairlie died/Laura signed the document) (2). While she is listening, it begins to rain.
She gets wet and becomes very ill. Laura is so worried about her sister that she gets (angry/confused/ill) (3) and stays in her room, too. Later, Sir Percival tells Laura that Marian has gone to (London/Limmeridge/Paris) (4). He tells her to follow Marian there. However, after Laura has left, we learn that Sir Percival was lying and Marian never left Blackwater. A short time later we learn that Laura has died in London of heart disease. Walter returns to England and hears of Laura's death. He goes to visit her grave at Limmeridge. To his great surprise, he sees both Marian and Laura there. Marian tells him that she found Laura (in the Count's house/at Limmeridge/in the asylum) (5). She explains that the Count had told Mr Fairlie that Laura was really Anne Catherick. When he hears this, Walter is determined to prove Laura's real identity. He thinks that Sir Percival will tell the truth if he can discover his secret. He decides to go and talk to (Mrs Michelson/Mrs Catherick/Mrs Fairlie) (6). All he learns from her is that the secret concerns Sir Percival's (father/mother/friendship with Fosco)
(7). Later, by examining the marriage registers, Walter discovers that Sir Percival’s parents were not married. Therefore, Sir Percival has no right to (Laura's property/his property and title/the Countess's property) (8).However, this information does not help Walter because Sir Percival dies in a fire in the church vestry and the marriage register is destroyed.
Laura had certainly changed. Her face was pale and thin, and her long suffering in the asylum had affected her mind, so that her expression was vague and her memory confused. Now the similarity between Laura and Anne Catherick was stronger than ever. Because of our great love for her, Miss Halcombe and I had recognised her immediately, but the Count's letter had influenced Mr Fairlie, and even the servants at Limmeridge House had not recognised her.
