Have
you
read
Gaboriau
's
works
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Does
Lecoq
come
up
to
your
idea
of
a
detective
?
"
Sherlock
Holmes
sniffed
sardonically
.
"
Lecoq
was
a
miserable
bungler
,
"
he
said
,
in
an
angry
voice
;
"
he
had
only
one
thing
to
recommend
him
,
and
that
was
his
energy
.
That
book
made
me
positively
ill
.
The
question
was
how
to
identify
an
unknown
prisoner
.
I
could
have
done
it
in
twenty-four
hours
.
Lecoq
took
six
months
or
so
.
It
might
be
made
a
text-book
for
detectives
to
teach
them
what
to
avoid
.
"
I
felt
rather
indignant
at
having
two
characters
whom
I
had
admired
treated
in
this
cavalier
style
.
I
walked
over
to
the
window
,
and
stood
looking
out
into
the
busy
street
.
"
This
fellow
may
be
very
clever
,
"
I
said
to
myself
,
"
but
he
is
certainly
very
conceited
.
"
"
There
are
no
crimes
and
no
criminals
in
these
days
,
"
he
said
,
querulously
.
"
What
is
the
use
of
having
brains
in
our
profession
.
I
know
well
that
I
have
it
in
me
to
make
my
name
famous
.
No
man
lives
or
has
ever
lived
who
has
brought
the
same
amount
of
study
and
of
natural
talent
to
the
detection
of
crime
which
I
have
done
.
And
what
is
the
result
?
There
is
no
crime
to
detect
,
or
,
at
most
,
some
bungling
villainy
with
a
motive
so
transparent
that
even
a
Scotland
Yard
official
can
see
through
it
.
"
I
was
still
annoyed
at
his
bumptious
style
of
conversation
.
I
thought
it
best
to
change
the
topic
.
"
I
wonder
what
that
fellow
is
looking
for
?
"
I
asked
,
pointing
to
a
stalwart
,
plainly-dressed
individual
who
was
walking
slowly
down
the
other
side
of
the
street
,
looking
anxiously
at
the
numbers
.
He
had
a
large
blue
envelope
in
his
hand
,
and
was
evidently
the
bearer
of
a
message
.
"
You
mean
the
retired
sergeant
of
Marines
,
"
said
Sherlock
Holmes
.
"
Brag
and
bounce
!
"
thought
I
to
myself
.
"
He
knows
that
I
can
not
verify
his
guess
.
"
The
thought
had
hardly
passed
through
my
mind
when
the
man
whom
we
were
watching
caught
sight
of
the
number
on
our
door
,
and
ran
rapidly
across
the
roadway
.
We
heard
a
loud
knock
,
a
deep
voice
below
,
and
heavy
steps
ascending
the
stair
.
