I
am
afraid
that
my
explanation
may
disillusion
you
,
but
it
has
always
been
my
habit
to
hide
none
of
my
methods
,
either
from
my
friend
Watson
or
from
anyone
who
might
take
an
intelligent
interest
in
them
.
But
,
first
,
as
I
am
rather
shaken
by
the
knocking
about
which
I
had
in
the
dressing-room
.
I
think
that
I
shall
help
myself
to
a
dash
of
your
brandy
,
Colonel
.
My
strength
has
been
rather
tried
of
late
.
"
"
I
trust
you
had
no
more
of
those
nervous
attacks
.
"
Sherlock
Holmes
laughed
heartily
.
"
We
will
come
to
that
in
its
turn
,
"
said
he
.
"
I
will
lay
an
account
of
the
case
before
you
in
its
due
order
,
showing
you
the
various
points
which
guided
me
in
my
decision
.
Pray
interrupt
me
if
there
is
any
inference
which
is
not
perfectly
clear
to
you
.
"
It
is
of
the
highest
importance
in
the
art
of
detection
to
be
able
to
recognize
,
out
of
a
number
of
facts
,
which
are
incidental
and
which
vital
.
Otherwise
your
energy
and
attention
must
be
dissipated
instead
of
being
concentrated
.
Now
,
in
this
case
there
was
not
the
slightest
doubt
in
my
mind
from
the
first
that
the
key
of
the
whole
matter
must
be
looked
for
in
the
scrap
of
paper
in
the
dead
man
's
hand
.
"
Before
going
into
this
,
I
would
draw
your
attention
to
the
fact
that
,
if
Alec
Cunningham
's
narrative
was
correct
,
and
if
the
assailant
,
after
shooting
William
Kirwan
,
had
instantly
fled
,
then
it
obviously
could
not
be
he
who
tore
the
paper
from
the
dead
man
's
hand
.
But
if
it
was
not
he
,
it
must
have
been
Alec
Cunningham
himself
,
for
by
the
time
that
the
old
man
had
descended
several
servants
were
upon
the
scene
.
The
point
is
a
simple
one
,
but
the
inspector
had
overlooked
it
because
he
had
started
with
the
supposition
that
these
county
magnates
had
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
matter
.
Now
,
I
make
a
point
of
never
having
any
prejudices
,
and
of
following
docilely
wherever
fact
may
lead
me
,
and
so
,
in
the
very
first
stage
of
the
investigation
,
I
found
myself
looking
a
little
askance
at
the
part
which
had
been
played
by
Mr.
Alec
Cunningham
.
"
And
now
I
made
a
very
careful
examination
of
the
corner
of
paper
which
the
inspector
had
submitted
to
us
.
It
was
at
once
clear
to
me
that
it
formed
part
of
a
very
remarkable
document
.
Here
it
is
.
Do
you
not
now
observe
something
very
suggestive
about
it
?
"
"
It
has
a
very
irregular
look
,
"
said
the
colonel
.
"
My
dear
sir
,
"
cried
Holmes
,
"
there
can
not
be
the
least
doubt
in
the
world
that
it
has
been
written
by
two
persons
doing
alternate
words
.
When
I
draw
your
attention
to
the
strong
t
's
of
'
at
"
and
'
to
,
"
and
ask
you
to
compare
them
with
the
weak
ones
of
'
quarter
"
and
'
twelve
,
"
you
will
instantly
recognize
the
fact
.
A
very
brief
analysis
of
these
four
words
would
enable
you
to
say
with
the
utmost
confidence
that
the
'
learn
"
and
the
'
maybe
"
are
written
in
the
stronger
hand
,
and
the
'
what
"
in
the
weaker
.
