Robert Cameron, a powerful capitalist, investigates anonymous threatening letters to him via publisher Philip Clyde. The notes claim implied power, with a chilling sample day where Cameron’s portrait head is mysteriously severed. The scene blends suspense with a Black Hand undertone as Cameron reads the arcing threats aloud.
The narrator reads two ominous letters that foretell doom and bear a symbol of a haunting silhouette Cameron had noted. The letters express a Nemesis spirit and warn of consequences on a seventh day while Cameron sits in measured contemplation behind the narrator.
Clyde and Cameron discuss anonymous letters with strange ink marks and no postmark. The letters foretell a seventh day fear as Cameron recalls a portrait missing its face at a key moment, prompting a study of eerie clues in a gothic study full of relics.
