Never
certainly
have
I
seen
a
plainer
confession
of
guilt
upon
human
countenances
.
The
older
man
seemed
numbed
and
dazed
,
with
a
heavy
,
sullen
expression
upon
his
strongly
marked
face
.
The
son
,
on
the
other
hand
,
had
dropped
all
that
jaunty
,
dashing
style
which
had
characterized
him
,
and
the
ferocity
of
a
dangerous
wild
beast
gleamed
in
his
dark
eyes
and
distorted
his
handsome
features
.
The
inspector
said
nothing
,
but
,
stepping
to
the
door
,
he
blew
his
whistle
.
Two
of
his
constables
came
at
the
call
.
"
I
have
no
alternative
,
Mr.
Cunningham
,
"
said
he
.
"
I
trust
that
this
may
all
prove
to
be
an
absurd
mistake
,
but
you
can
see
that
Ah
,
would
you
?
Drop
it
!
"
He
struck
out
with
his
hand
,
and
a
revolver
which
the
younger
man
was
in
the
act
of
cocking
clattered
down
upon
the
floor
.
"
Keep
that
,
"
said
Holmes
,
quietly
putting
his
foot
upon
it
;
"
you
will
find
it
useful
at
the
trial
.
But
this
is
what
we
really
wanted
.
"
He
held
up
a
little
crumpled
piece
of
paper
.
"
The
remainder
of
the
sheet
!
"
cried
the
inspector
.
"
Precisely
.
"
"
And
where
was
it
?
"
"
Where
I
was
sure
it
must
be
.
I
'll
make
the
whole
matter
clear
to
you
presently
.
I
think
,
Colonel
,
that
you
and
Watson
might
return
now
,
and
I
will
be
with
you
again
in
an
hour
at
the
furthest
.
The
inspector
and
I
must
have
a
word
with
the
prisoners
,
but
you
will
certainly
see
me
back
at
luncheon
time
.
"
Sherlock
Holmes
was
as
good
as
his
word
,
for
about
one
o'clock
he
rejoined
us
in
the
colonel
's
smoking-room
.
He
was
accompanied
by
a
little
elderly
gentleman
,
who
was
introduced
to
me
as
the
Mr.
Acton
whose
house
had
been
the
scene
of
the
original
burglary
.
"
I
wished
Mr.
Acton
to
be
present
while
I
demonstrated
this
small
matter
to
you
,
"
said
Holmes
,
"
for
it
is
natural
that
he
should
take
a
keen
interest
in
the
details
.
I
am
afraid
,
my
dear
Colonel
,
that
you
must
regret
the
hour
that
you
took
in
such
a
stormy
petrel
as
I
am
.
"
"
On
the
contrary
,
"
answered
the
colonel
warmly
,
"
I
consider
it
the
greatest
privilege
to
have
been
permitted
to
study
your
methods
of
working
.
I
confess
that
they
quite
surpass
my
expectations
,
and
that
I
am
utterly
unable
to
account
for
your
result
.
I
have
not
yet
seen
the
vestige
of
a
clue
.
