Yes
,
but
she
is
a
good
sort
,
or
I
am
mistaken
.
She
and
her
brother
are
the
only
children
of
an
iron-master
somewhere
up
Northumberland
way
.
He
got
engaged
to
her
when
travelling
last
winter
,
and
she
came
down
to
be
introduced
to
his
people
,
with
her
brother
as
escort
.
Then
came
the
smash
,
and
she
stayed
on
to
nurse
her
lover
,
while
brother
Joseph
,
finding
himself
pretty
snug
,
stayed
on
,
too
.
I
've
been
making
a
few
independent
inquiries
,
you
see
.
But
to-day
must
be
a
day
of
inquiries
.
"
"
My
practice
--
"
I
began
.
"
Oh
,
if
you
find
your
own
cases
more
interesting
than
mine
--
"
said
Holmes
with
some
asperity
.
"
I
was
going
to
say
that
my
practice
could
get
along
very
well
for
a
day
or
two
,
since
it
is
the
slackest
time
in
the
year
.
"
"
Excellent
,
"
said
he
,
recovering
his
good-humour
.
"
Then
we
'll
look
into
this
matter
together
.
I
think
that
we
should
begin
by
seeing
Forbes
.
He
can
probably
tell
us
all
the
details
we
want
until
we
know
from
what
side
the
case
is
to
be
approached
.
"
"
You
said
you
had
a
clue
?
"
"
Well
,
we
have
several
,
but
we
can
only
test
their
value
by
further
inquiry
.
The
most
difficult
crime
to
track
is
the
one
which
is
purposeless
.
Now
this
is
not
purposeless
.
Who
is
it
who
profits
by
it
?
There
is
the
French
ambassador
,
there
is
the
Russian
,
there
is
whoever
might
sell
it
to
either
of
these
,
and
there
is
Lord
Holdhurst
.
"
"
Lord
Holdhurst
!
"
"
Well
,
it
is
just
conceivable
that
a
statesman
might
find
himself
in
a
position
where
he
was
not
sorry
to
have
such
a
document
accidentally
destroyed
.
