Lady Adeline asks if he is ill; Lord Henry says that Don Juan saw the “Black Friar” pace the hallway at night, and then tells of the “spirit of these walls”, who was often seen in the past, but not of late. That on honeymoon with Lady Adeline, he saw the ghost of the Black Friar haunt the halls of the house. Accompanying herself with a harp, Lady Adeline sings the story of the ghost of the Black Friar; Aurora is silent, whilst Lady Fitz-Fulke appears mischievous. The narrator suggests that Lady Adeline sang to dispel Don Juan's dismay.
