I
'll
tell
you
what
I
did
first
,
and
how
I
came
to
do
it
afterwards
,
"
said
he
.
"
After
leaving
you
at
the
station
I
went
for
a
charming
walk
through
some
admirable
Surrey
scenery
to
a
pretty
little
village
called
Ripley
,
where
I
had
my
tea
at
an
inn
and
took
the
precaution
of
filling
my
flask
and
of
putting
a
paper
of
sandwiches
in
my
pocket
.
There
I
remained
until
evening
,
when
I
set
off
for
Woking
again
and
found
myself
in
the
highroad
outside
Briarbrae
just
after
sunset
.
"
Well
,
I
waited
until
the
road
was
clear
--
it
is
never
a
very
frequented
one
at
any
time
,
I
fancy
--
and
then
I
clambered
over
the
fence
into
the
grounds
.
"
"
Surely
the
gate
was
open
!
"
ejaculated
Phelps
.

"
Yes
,
but
I
have
a
peculiar
taste
in
these
matters
.
I
chose
the
place
where
the
three
fir-trees
stand
,
and
behind
their
screen
I
got
over
without
the
least
chance
of
anyone
in
the
house
being
able
to
see
me
.
I
crouched
down
among
the
bushes
on
the
other
side
and
crawled
from
one
to
the
other
--
witness
the
disreputable
state
of
my
trouser
knees
--
until
I
had
reached
the
clump
of
rhododendrons
just
opposite
to
your
bedroom
window
.
There
I
squatted
down
and
awaited
developments
.
"
The
blind
was
not
down
in
your
room
,
and
I
could
see
Miss
Harrison
sitting
there
reading
by
the
table
.
It
was
quarter-past
ten
when
she
closed
her
book
,
fastened
the
shutters
,
and
retired
.
"
I
heard
her
shut
the
door
and
felt
quite
sure
that
she
had
turned
the
key
in
the
lock
.
"
"
The
key
!
"
ejaculated
Phelps
.

"
Yes
,
I
had
given
Miss
Harrison
instructions
to
lock
the
door
on
the
outside
and
take
the
key
with
her
when
she
went
to
bed
.
She
carried
out
every
one
of
my
injunctions
to
the
letter
,
and
certainly
without
her
cooperation
you
would
not
have
that
paper
in
your
coat-pocket
.
She
departed
then
and
the
lights
went
out
and
I
was
left
squatting
in
the
rhododendron-bush
.
"
The
night
was
fine
,
but
still
it
was
a
very
weary
vigil
.
Of
course
it
has
the
sort
of
excitement
about
it
that
the
sportsman
feels
when
he
lies
beside
the
watercourse
and
waits
for
the
big
game
.
It
was
very
long
,
though
--
almost
as
long
,
Watson
,
as
when
you
and
I
waited
in
that
deadly
room
when
we
looked
into
the
little
problem
of
the
Speckled
Band
.
There
was
a
church-clock
down
at
Woking
which
struck
the
quarters
,
and
I
thought
more
than
once
that
it
had
stopped
.
At
last
,
however
,
about
two
in
the
morning
,
I
suddenly
heard
the
gentle
sound
of
a
bolt
being
pushed
back
and
the
creaking
of
a
key
.
A
moment
later
the
servants
door
was
opened
,
and
Mr.
Joseph
Harrison
stepped
out
into
the
moonlight
.
