That
's
just
about
all
that
passed
between
us
,
as
near
as
I
can
remember
.
You
can
imagine
,
Dr.
Watson
,
how
pleased
I
was
at
such
an
extraordinary
bit
of
good
fortune
.
I
sat
up
half
the
night
hugging
myself
over
it
,
and
next
day
I
was
off
to
Birmingham
in
a
train
that
would
take
me
in
plenty
time
for
my
appointment
.
I
took
my
things
to
a
hotel
in
New
Street
,
and
then
I
made
my
way
to
the
address
which
had
been
given
me
.
"
It
was
a
quarter
of
an
hour
before
my
time
,
but
I
thought
that
would
make
no
difference
.
126B
was
a
passage
between
two
large
shops
,
which
led
to
a
winding
stone
stair
,
from
which
there
were
many
flats
,
let
as
offices
to
companies
or
professional
men
.
The
names
of
the
occupants
were
painted
at
the
bottom
on
the
wall
,
but
there
was
no
such
name
as
the
Franco-Midland
Hardware
Company
,
Limited
.
I
stood
for
a
few
minutes
with
my
heart
in
my
boots
,
wondering
whether
the
whole
thing
was
an
elaborate
hoax
or
not
,
when
up
came
a
man
and
addressed
me
.
He
was
very
like
the
chap
I
had
seen
the
night
before
,
the
same
figure
and
voice
,
but
he
was
clean-shaven
and
his
hair
was
lighter
.
"
'
Are
you
Mr.
Hall
Pycroft
?
"
he
asked
.
"
'
Yes
,
"
said
I.
"
'
Oh
!
I
was
expecting
you
,
but
you
are
a
trifle
before
your
time
.
I
had
a
note
from
my
brother
this
morning
in
which
he
sang
your
praises
very
loudly
.
'
"
'
I
was
just
looking
for
the
offices
when
you
came
.
'
"
'
We
have
not
got
our
name
up
yet
,
for
we
only
secured
these
temporary
premises
last
week
.
Come
up
with
me
,
and
we
will
talk
the
matter
over
.
'
"
I
followed
him
to
the
top
of
a
very
lofty
stair
,
and
there
,
right
under
the
slates
,
were
a
couple
of
empty
,
dusty
little
rooms
,
uncarpeted
and
uncurtained
,
into
which
he
led
me
.
I
had
thought
of
a
great
office
with
shining
tables
and
rows
of
clerks
,
such
as
I
was
used
to
,
and
I
daresay
I
stared
rather
straight
at
the
two
deal
chairs
and
one
little
table
,
which
with
a
ledger
and
a
waste-paper
basket
,
made
up
the
whole
furniture
.
"
'
Do
n't
be
disheartened
,
Mr.
Pycroft
,
"
said
my
new
acquaintance
,
seeing
the
length
of
my
face
.
