When she refused, he pressured her until she fell seriously ill (brain fever) and had her hair cut short during recovery ([[COPP]] {{refcanon|COPP|481}}).<br /> <br /> * After her illness, instead of letting her go, [[Jephro Rucastle]] imprisoned her in a locked, barricaded room to stop her marrying [[Mr. Fowler]] ([[COPP]] {{refcanon|COPP|412}}).<br /> <br /> * [[Violet Hunter]] was hired because she resembled Alice in appearance (especially hair color) and could be dressed to impersonate her at the window, misleading [[Mr. Fowler]] into thinking Alice was happy and no longer interested in him ([[COPP]] {{refcanon|COPP|477}}).<br /> <br /> She was eventually rescued by [[Mr. Fowler]] with the help of [[Mrs. Toller]] ([[COPP]] {{refcanon|COPP|581}}).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> [[Category:Characters (all stories)|Rucastle, Alice]]<br /> [[Category:Characters (Sherlock Holmes stories)|Rucastle, Alice]]</div>
