Victor sets about his work, creating a second female monster. After following
Victor and Henry through mainland Europe and England, the monster comes
near Victor's workshop in Scotland to see his mate. In a fit of anger and guilt,
Victor destroys the half-finished creation in front of the monster and tells the
monster he will not continue. The threat the monster makes is an ominous
one:"I shall be with you on your wedding-night." The monster then disappears
into the night.
Summary Ch 21:
A body has washed ashore; the method of death is familiar, the black marks of fingers
on the neck. Since Victor appears around this same time, several people put him near the
scene of a crime even though he had not been present.
Mr. Kirwin, the local magistrate, takes Victor to see the body. Victor becomes violently
ill and passes two months near death.
At the trial, Kirwin offers defends Victor and manages to secure Victor's release when
the court learns of Victor's residence on the Orkney Islands. The time of the murder and
Victor's presence in his lab in the Orkney's proves that he did not commit the crime.
Alphonse takes Victor home. The pair travel from Ireland to Le Harvre, France and
overland to Paris for a brief stay.
