Helen Stoner is Holmes's client in the story "The Speckled Band". Her sister Julia died two years before the story takes place, after hearing a noise like a softly whistling kettle. Helen now occupies Julia's bedroom, and she hears that noise. She is understandably frightened. A friend of hers was a former client of Sherlock Holmes, so Helen goes to London to seek his help.
