Tulkinghorn had already assured Lady Dedlock that he planned to reveal her secret about having borne Hawdon's child, but that he would do it in his own time. Thisi s a huge threat to her, since it will not only ruin her but will hurt Sir Leicester greatly. She was walking outside the night Tulkinghorn is murdered, and is a likely suspect.
