By
Jove
,
it
's
as
clear
as
day
!
"
cried
the
colonel
.
"
Why
on
earth
should
two
men
write
a
letter
in
such
a
fashion
?
"
"
Obviously
the
business
was
a
bad
one
,
and
one
of
the
men
who
distrusted
the
other
was
determined
that
,
whatever
was
done
,
each
should
have
an
equal
hand
in
it
.
Now
,
of
the
two
men
,
it
is
clear
that
the
one
who
wrote
the
'
at
"
and
'
to
"
was
the
ringleader
.
"
"
How
do
you
get
at
that
?
"
"
We
might
deduce
it
from
the
mere
character
of
the
one
hand
as
compared
with
the
other
.
But
we
have
more
assured
reasons
than
that
for
supposing
it
.
If
you
examine
this
scrap
with
attention
you
will
come
to
the
conclusion
that
the
man
with
the
stronger
hand
wrote
all
his
words
first
,
leaving
blanks
for
the
other
to
fill
up
.
These
blanks
were
not
always
sufficient
,
and
you
can
see
that
the
second
man
had
a
squeeze
to
fit
his
'
quarter
"
in
between
the
'
at
"
and
the
'
to
,
"
showing
that
the
latter
were
already
written
.
The
man
who
wrote
all
his
words
first
is
undoubtedly
the
man
who
planned
the
affair
.
"
"
Excellent
!
"
cried
Mr.
Acton
.
"
But
very
superficial
,
"
said
Holmes
.
"
We
come
now
,
however
,
to
a
point
which
is
of
importance
.
You
may
not
be
aware
that
the
deduction
of
a
man
's
age
from
his
writing
is
one
which
has
been
brought
to
considerable
accuracy
by
experts
.
In
normal
cases
one
can
place
a
man
in
his
true
decade
with
tolerable
confidence
.
I
say
normal
cases
,
because
ill-health
and
physical
weakness
reproduce
the
signs
of
old
age
,
even
when
the
invalid
is
a
youth
.
In
this
case
,
looking
at
the
bold
,
strong
hand
of
the
one
,
and
the
rather
broken-backed
appearance
of
the
other
,
which
still
retains
its
legibility
although
the
t
's
have
begun
to
lose
their
crossing
,
we
can
say
that
the
one
was
a
young
man
and
the
other
was
advanced
in
years
without
being
positively
decrepit
.
"
"
Excellent
!
"
cried
Mr.
Acton
again
.
"
There
is
a
further
point
,
however
,
which
is
subtler
and
of
greater
interest
.
There
is
something
in
common
between
these
hands
.
They
belong
to
men
who
are
blood-relatives
.
It
may
be
most
obvious
to
you
in
the
Greek
e
's
,
but
to
me
there
are
many
small
points
which
indicate
the
same
thing
.
I
have
no
doubt
at
all
that
a
family
mannerism
can
be
traced
in
these
two
specimens
of
writing
.
I
am
only
,
of
course
,
giving
you
the
leading
results
now
of
my
examination
of
the
paper
.
There
were
twenty-three
other
deductions
which
would
be
of
more
interest
to
experts
than
to
you
.
They
all
tend
to
deepen
the
impression
upon
my
mind
that
the
Cunninghams
,
father
and
son
,
had
written
this
letter
.
