Her
rich
tints
made
the
white
face
of
her
companion
the
more
worn
and
haggard
by
the
contrast
.
"
I
wo
n't
waste
your
time
,
"
said
he
,
raising
himself
upon
the
sofa
.
"
I
'll
plunge
into
the
matter
without
further
preamble
.
I
was
a
happy
and
successful
man
,
Mr.
Holmes
,
and
on
the
eve
of
being
married
,
when
a
sudden
and
dreadful
misfortune
wrecked
all
my
prospects
in
life
.
"
I
was
,
as
Watson
may
have
told
you
,
in
the
Foreign
Office
,
and
through
the
influence
of
my
uncle
,
Lord
Holdhurst
,
I
rose
rapidly
to
a
responsible
position
.
When
my
uncle
became
foreign
minister
in
this
administration
he
gave
me
several
missions
of
trust
,
and
as
I
always
brought
them
to
a
successful
conclusion
,
he
came
at
last
to
have
the
utmost
confidence
in
my
ability
and
tact
.
"
Nearly
ten
weeks
ago
--
to
be
more
accurate
,
on
the
twenty-third
of
May
--
he
called
me
into
his
private
room
,
and
,
after
complimenting
me
on
the
good
work
which
I
had
done
,
he
informed
me
that
he
had
a
new
commission
of
trust
for
me
to
execute
.
"
'
This
,
"
said
he
,
taking
a
gray
roll
of
paper
from
his
bureau
,
'
is
the
original
of
that
secret
treaty
between
England
and
Italy
of
which
,
I
regret
to
say
,
some
rumours
have
already
got
into
the
public
press
.
It
is
of
enormous
importance
that
nothing
further
should
leak
out
.
The
French
or
the
Russian
embassy
would
pay
an
immense
sum
to
learn
the
contents
of
these
papers
.
They
should
not
leave
my
bureau
were
it
not
that
it
is
absolutely
necessary
to
have
them
copied
.
You
have
a
desk
in
your
office
?
'
"
'
Yes
,
sir
.
'
"
'
Then
take
the
treaty
and
lock
it
up
there
.
I
shall
give
directions
that
you
may
remain
behind
when
the
others
go
,
so
that
you
may
copy
it
at
your
leisure
without
fear
of
being
overlooked
.
When
you
have
finished
,
relock
both
the
original
and
the
draft
in
the
desk
,
and
hand
them
over
to
me
personally
to-morrow
morning
.
'
"
I
took
the
papers
and
--
"
"
Excuse
me
an
instant
,
"
said
Holmes
.
"
Were
you
alone
during
this
conversation
?
"
