The
more
I
thought
of
it
the
more
extraordinary
did
my
companion
's
hypothesis
,
that
the
man
had
been
poisoned
,
appear
.
I
remembered
how
he
had
sniffed
his
lips
,
and
had
no
doubt
that
he
had
detected
something
which
had
given
rise
to
the
idea
.
Then
,
again
,
if
not
poison
,
what
had
caused
the
man
's
death
,
since
there
was
neither
wound
nor
marks
of
strangulation
?
But
,
on
the
other
hand
,
whose
blood
was
that
which
lay
so
thickly
upon
the
floor
?
There
were
no
signs
of
a
struggle
,
nor
had
the
victim
any
weapon
with
which
he
might
have
wounded
an
antagonist
.
As
long
as
all
these
questions
were
unsolved
,
I
felt
that
sleep
would
be
no
easy
matter
,
either
for
Holmes
or
myself
.
His
quiet
self-confident
manner
convinced
me
that
he
had
already
formed
a
theory
which
explained
all
the
facts
,
though
what
it
was
I
could
not
for
an
instant
conjecture
.
He
was
very
late
in
returning
--
so
late
,
that
I
knew
that
the
concert
could
not
have
detained
him
all
the
time
.
Dinner
was
on
the
table
before
he
appeared
.
"
It
was
magnificent
,
"
he
said
,
as
he
took
his
seat
.
"
Do
you
remember
what
Darwin
says
about
music
?
He
claims
that
the
power
of
producing
and
appreciating
it
existed
among
the
human
race
long
before
the
power
of
speech
was
arrived
at
.
Perhaps
that
is
why
we
are
so
subtly
influenced
by
it
.
There
are
vague
memories
in
our
souls
of
those
misty
centuries
when
the
world
was
in
its
childhood
.
"
"
That
's
rather
a
broad
idea
,
"
I
remarked
.
"
One
's
ideas
must
be
as
broad
as
Nature
if
they
are
to
interpret
Nature
,
"
he
answered
.
"
What
's
the
matter
?
You
're
not
looking
quite
yourself
.
This
Brixton
Road
affair
has
upset
you
.
"
"
To
tell
the
truth
,
it
has
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
ought
to
be
more
case-hardened
after
my
Afghan
experiences
.
I
saw
my
own
comrades
hacked
to
pieces
at
Maiwand
without
losing
my
nerve
.
"
"
I
can
understand
.
There
is
a
mystery
about
this
which
stimulates
the
imagination
;
where
there
is
no
imagination
there
is
no
horror
.
Have
you
seen
the
evening
paper
?
"
"
No
.
"
"
It
gives
a
fairly
good
account
of
the
affair
.
It
does
not
mention
the
fact
that
when
the
man
was
raised
up
,
a
woman
's
wedding
ring
fell
upon
the
floor
.
It
is
just
as
well
it
does
not
.
