On the way, they were caught in a storm, and barely made it to shore before their boat crashed on some rocks, thanks to the guidance of a faint light in a nearby tower. The weather was uncertain, but two sailors accepted Henry's generous terms and agreed to take him to his destination. The villagers recognized him as Henry Vernon, the son of Sir Peter Vernon, whose family owned an estate not far from the town Henry was headed to. Many years before, a distraught man had arrived in the area looking for sailors to take him to a town about 15 miles away. The housekeeper tells him the following story. He is surprised at the comfortable furnishings within the tower, and is intrigued by a painting of a lovely young woman hung above the fireplace, entitled The Invisible Girl. The narrator tells the story of how he became lost during a walk along the coast of Wales and sought shelter in what looked like a ruined tower, thanks to the hospitality of its housekeeper. Sir Peter forgives them for their secret engagement, and they are married.

Henry finds Rosina hiding in a remote ruin and discovers that she is really the Invisible Girl. He joins the search for her body, and the villagers tell him about the Invisible Girl, a ghostly figure who wanders the woods at night. Henry returns home to the news of Rosina's death and is heartbroken. Sir Peter regrets his harshness and searches for her, but assumes she is dead when she cannot be found. Henry is away from home when their relationship is discovered, and Sir Peter casts Rosina out of the house. The tale is set in Wales, and tells the story of a young woman named Rosina, who lives with her guardian, Sir Peter Vernon, and is secretly engaged to his son, Henry. The Invisible Girl is a Gothic tale written by Mary Shelley and first published in The Keepsake for 1833.
