help - rollerball ink leak on linen sheets

Help - I just discovered (yes, a very late night) that I have left the top off a roller ball pen - blue ink - in my bed. It was initially in a few concentrated splotches.

I thought that meths was the way to treat it and poured some on, but it spread the stain everywhere. The other sheet I have treated with a Ballpoint Pen & Ink Stain Devil, where you dab the ink through onto a bit of white cloth underneath, but again it seems to have spread the stain.

I have left both soaking - the one in what remains of my meths and the other in what's left of the Stain Devil.

I am so upset, the sheets are 100% linen, a special present and one of my few luxuries...

Any help would be very much appreciated....
