When
I
recovered
I
managed
,
by
a
device
which
had
perhaps
some
little
merit
of
ingenuity
,
to
get
old
Cunningham
to
write
the
word
'
twelve
,
"
so
that
I
might
compare
it
with
the
'
twelve
"
upon
the
paper
.
"
"
Oh
,
what
an
ass
I
have
been
!
"
I
exclaimed
.
"
I
could
see
that
you
were
commiserating
me
over
my
weakness
,
"
said
Holmes
,
laughing
.
"
I
was
sorry
to
cause
you
the
sympathetic
pain
which
I
know
that
you
felt
.
We
then
went
upstairs
together
,
and
,
having
entered
the
room
and
seen
the
dressing-gown
hanging
up
behind
the
door
,
I
contrived
,
by
upsetting
a
table
,
to
engage
their
attention
for
the
moment
and
slipped
back
to
examine
the
pockets
.
I
had
hardly
got
the
paper
,
however
--
which
was
,
as
I
had
expected
,
in
one
of
them
--
when
the
two
Cunninghams
were
on
me
,
and
would
,
I
verily
believe
,
have
murdered
me
then
and
there
but
for
your
prompt
and
friendly
aid
.
As
it
is
,
I
feel
that
young
man
's
grip
on
my
throat
now
,
and
the
father
has
twisted
my
wrist
round
in
the
effort
to
get
the
paper
out
of
my
hand
.
They
saw
that
I
must
know
all
about
it
,
you
see
,
and
the
sudden
change
from
absolute
security
to
complete
despair
made
them
perfectly
desperate
.
"
I
had
a
little
talk
with
old
Cunningham
afterwards
as
to
the
motive
of
the
crime
.
He
was
tractable
enough
,
though
his
son
was
a
perfect
demon
,
ready
to
blow
out
his
own
or
anybody
else
's
brains
if
he
could
have
got
to
his
revolver
.
When
Cunningham
saw
that
the
case
against
him
was
so
strong
he
lost
all
heart
and
made
a
clean
breast
of
everything
.
It
seems
that
William
had
secretly
followed
his
two
masters
on
the
night
when
they
made
their
raid
upon
Mr.
Acton
's
and
,
having
thus
got
them
into
his
power
,
proceeded
,
under
threats
of
exposure
,
to
levy
blackmail
upon
them
.
Mr.
Alec
,
however
,
was
a
dangerous
man
to
play
games
of
that
sort
with
.
It
was
a
stroke
of
positive
genius
on
his
part
to
see
in
the
burglary
scare
which
was
convulsing
the
countryside
an
opportunity
of
plausibly
getting
rid
of
the
man
whom
he
feared
.
William
was
decoyed
up
and
shot
,
and
had
they
only
got
the
whole
of
the
note
and
paid
a
little
more
attention
to
detail
in
their
accessories
,
it
is
very
possible
that
suspicion
might
never
have
been
aroused
.
"
"
And
the
note
?
"
I
asked
.
Sherlock
Holmes
placed
the
subjoined
paper
before
us
.
IF
YOU
WILL
ONLY
COME
AROUND
TO
THE
EAST
GATE
YOU
WILL
WILL
VERY
MUCH
SURPRISE
YOU
AND
