Well
,
it
is
quite
evident
that
there
are
two
men
--
more
perhaps
,
but
at
least
two
--
who
are
determined
for
some
reason
to
get
at
this
fellow
Blessington
.
I
have
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
both
on
the
first
and
on
the
second
occasion
that
young
man
penetrated
to
Blessington
's
room
,
while
his
confederate
,
by
an
ingenious
device
,
kept
the
doctor
from
interfering
.
"
"
And
the
catalepsy
?
"
"
A
fraudulent
imitation
,
Watson
,
though
I
should
hardly
dare
to
hint
as
much
to
our
specialist
.
It
is
a
very
easy
complaint
to
imitate
.
I
have
done
it
myself
.
"
"
And
then
?
"
"
By
the
purest
chance
Blessington
was
out
on
each
occasion
.
Their
reason
for
choosing
so
unusual
an
hour
for
a
consultation
was
obviously
to
insure
that
there
should
be
no
other
patient
in
the
waiting-room
.
It
just
happened
,
however
,
that
this
hour
coincided
with
Blessington
's
constitutional
,
which
seems
to
show
that
they
were
not
very
well
acquainted
with
his
daily
routine
.
Of
course
,
if
they
had
been
merely
after
plunder
they
would
at
least
have
made
some
attempt
to
search
for
it
.
Besides
,
I
can
read
in
a
man
's
eye
when
it
is
his
own
skin
that
he
is
frightened
for
.
It
is
inconceivable
that
this
fellow
could
have
made
two
such
vindictive
enemies
as
these
appear
to
be
without
knowing
of
it
.
I
hold
it
,
therefore
,
to
be
certain
that
he
does
know
who
these
men
are
,
and
that
for
reasons
of
his
own
he
suppresses
it
.
It
is
just
possible
that
to-morrow
may
find
him
in
a
more
communicative
mood
.
"
"
Is
there
not
one
alternative
,
"
I
suggested
,
"
grotesquely
improbable
,
no
doubt
,
but
still
just
conceivable
?
Might
the
whole
story
of
the
cataleptic
Russian
and
his
son
be
a
concoction
of
Dr.
Trevelyan
's
,
who
has
,
for
his
own
purposes
,
been
in
Blessington
'
s
rooms
?
"
I
saw
in
the
gas-light
that
Holmes
wore
an
amused
smile
at
this
brilliant
departure
of
mine
.
"
My
dear
fellow
,
"
said
he
,
"
it
was
one
of
the
first
solutions
which
occurred
to
me
,
but
I
was
soon
able
to
corroborate
the
doctor
's
tale
.
This
young
man
has
left
prints
upon
the
stair-carpet
which
made
it
quite
superfluous
for
me
to
ask
to
see
those
which
he
had
made
in
the
room
.
When
I
tell
you
that
his
shoes
were
square-toed
instead
of
being
pointed
like
Blessington
's
,
and
were
quite
an
inch
and
a
third
longer
than
the
doctor
's
,
you
will
acknowledge
that
there
can
be
no
doubt
as
to
his
individuality
.
But
we
may
sleep
on
it
now
,
for
I
shall
be
surprised
if
we
do
not
hear
something
further
from
Brook
Street
in
the
morning
.
"
Sherlock
Holmes
's
prophecy
was
soon
fulfilled
,
and
in
a
dramatic
fashion
.
At
half-past
seven
next
morning
,
in
the
first
dim
glimmer
of
daylight
,
I
found
him
standing
by
my
bedside
in
his
dressing-gown
.
