About
ten
minutes
later
a
knock
came
at
the
door
,
and
here
we
made
the
one
serious
mistake
for
which
I
blame
myself
.
Instead
of
opening
the
door
ourselves
,
we
allowed
the
girl
to
do
so
.
We
heard
her
say
,
'
Mother
,
there
are
two
men
in
the
house
waiting
to
see
you
,
"
and
an
instant
afterwards
we
heard
the
patter
of
feet
rushing
down
the
passage
.
Forbes
flung
open
the
door
,
and
we
both
ran
into
the
back
room
or
kitchen
,
but
the
woman
had
got
there
before
us
.
She
stared
at
us
with
defiant
eyes
,
and
then
,
suddenly
recognizing
me
,
an
expression
of
absolute
astonishment
came
over
her
face
.
"
'
Why
,
if
it
is
n't
Mr.
Phelps
,
of
the
office
!
"
she
cried
.
"
'
Come
,
come
,
who
did
you
think
we
were
when
you
ran
away
from
us
?
"
asked
my
companion
.
"
'
I
thought
you
were
the
brokers
,
"
said
she
,
'
we
have
had
some
trouble
with
a
tradesman
.
'
"
'
That
's
not
quite
good
enough
.
"
answered
Forbes
.
'
We
have
reason
to
believe
that
you
have
taken
a
paper
of
importance
from
the
Foreign
Office
,
and
that
you
ran
in
here
to
dispose
of
it
.
You
must
come
back
with
us
to
Scotland
Yard
to
be
searched
.
'
"
It
was
in
vain
that
she
protested
and
resisted
.
A
four-wheeler
was
brought
,
and
we
all
three
drove
back
in
it
.
We
had
first
made
an
examination
of
the
kitchen
,
and
especially
of
the
kitchen
fire
,
to
see
whether
she
might
have
made
away
with
the
papers
during
the
instant
that
she
was
alone
.
There
were
no
signs
,
however
,
of
any
ashes
or
scraps
.
When
we
reached
Scotland
Yard
she
was
handed
over
at
once
to
the
female
searcher
.
I
waited
in
an
agony
of
suspense
until
she
came
back
with
her
report
.
There
were
no
signs
of
the
papers
.
"
Then
for
the
first
time
the
horror
of
my
situation
came
in
its
full
force
.
Hitherto
I
had
been
acting
,
and
action
had
numbed
thought
.
I
had
been
so
confident
of
regaining
the
treaty
at
once
that
I
had
not
dared
to
think
of
what
would
be
the
consequence
if
I
failed
to
do
so
.
But
now
there
was
nothing
more
to
be
done
,
and
I
had
leisure
to
realize
my
position
.
It
was
horrible
.
Watson
there
would
tell
you
that
I
was
a
nervous
,
sensitive
boy
at
school
.
It
is
my
nature
.
I
thought
of
my
uncle
and
of
his
colleagues
in
the
Cabinet
,
of
the
shame
which
I
had
brought
upon
him
,
upon
myself
,
upon
everyone
connected
with
me
.
What
though
I
was
the
victim
of
an
extraordinary
accident
?
No
allowance
is
made
for
accidents
where
diplomatic
interests
are
at
stake
.
I
was
ruined
,
shamefully
,
hopelessly
ruined
.
I
do
n't
know
what
I
did
.
I
fancy
I
must
have
made
a
scene
.
I
have
a
dim
recollection
of
a
group
of
officials
who
crowded
round
me
,
endeavouring
to
soothe
me
.
One
of
them
drove
down
with
me
to
Waterloo
,
and
saw
me
into
the
Woking
train
.
I
believe
that
he
would
have
come
all
the
way
had
it
not
been
that
Dr.
Ferrier
,
who
lives
near
me
,
was
going
down
by
that
very
train
.
The
doctor
most
kindly
took
charge
of
me
,
and
it
was
well
he
did
so
,
for
I
had
a
fit
in
the
station
,
and
before
we
reached
home
I
was
practically
a
raving
maniac
.
"
You
can
imagine
the
state
of
things
here
when
they
were
roused
from
their
beds
by
the
doctor
's
ringing
and
found
me
in
this
condition
.
Poor
Annie
here
and
my
mother
were
broken-hearted
.
Dr.
Ferrier
had
just
heard
enough
from
the
detective
at
the
station
to
be
able
to
give
an
idea
of
what
had
happened
,
and
his
story
did
not
mend
matters
.
It
was
evident
to
all
that
I
was
in
for
a
long
illness
,
so
Joseph
was
bundled
out
of
this
cheery
bedroom
,
and
it
was
turned
into
a
sickroom
for
me
.
Here
I
have
lain
.
Mr.
Holmes
