He
pointed
to
a
smallish
,
dark
,
well-dressed
man
who
was
bustling
along
the
other
side
of
the
road
.
As
we
watched
him
he
looked
across
at
a
boy
who
was
bawling
out
the
latest
edition
of
the
evening
paper
,
and
,
running
over
among
the
cabs
and
busses
,
he
bought
one
from
him
.
Then
,
clutching
it
in
his
hand
,
he
vanished
through
a
doorway
.
582
"
There
he
goes
!
"
cried
Hall
Pycroft
.
"
These
are
the
company
's
offices
into
which
he
has
gone
.
Come
with
me
,
and
I
'll
fix
it
up
as
easily
as
possible
.
"

Following
his
lead
,
we
ascended
five
stories
,
until
we
found
ourselves
outside
a
half-opened
door
,
at
which
our
client
tapped
.
A
voice
within
bade
us
enter
,
and
we
entered
a
bare
,
unfurnished
room
such
as
Hall
Pycroft
had
described
.
At
the
single
table
sat
the
man
whom
we
had
seen
in
the
street
,
with
his
evening
paper
spread
out
in
front
of
him
,
and
as
he
looked
up
at
us
it
seemed
to
me
that
I
had
never
looked
upon
a
face
which
bore
such
marks
of
grief
,
and
of
something
beyond
grief
--
of
a
horror
such
as
comes
to
few
men
in
a
lifetime
.
His
brow
glistened
with
perspiration
,
his
cheeks
were
of
the
dull
,
dead
white
of
a
fish
's
belly
,
and
his
eyes
were
wild
and
staring
.
He
looked
at
his
clerk
as
though
he
failed
to
recognize
him
,
and
I
could
see
by
the
astonishment
depicted
upon
our
conductor
's
face
that
this
was
by
no
means
the
usual
appearance
of
his
employer
.

"
You
look
ill
,
Mr.
Pinner
!
"
he
exclaimed
.
585
"
Yes
,
I
am
not
very
well
,
"
answered
the
other
,
making
obvious
efforts
to
pull
himself
together
and
licking
his
dry
lips
before
he
spoke
.
"
Who
are
these
gentlemen
whom
you
have
brought
with
you
?
"
586
"
One
is
Mr.
Harris
,
of
Bermondsey
,
and
the
other
is
Mr.
Price
,
of
this
town
,
"
said
our
clerk
glibly
.
"
They
are
friends
of
mine
and
gentlemen
of
experience
,
but
they
have
been
out
of
a
place
for
some
little
time
,
and
they
hoped
that
perhaps
you
might
find
an
opening
for
them
in
the
company
's
employment
.
"
587
"
Very
possibly
!
very
possibly
!
"
cried
Mr.
Pinner
with
a
ghastly
smile
.
"
Yes
,
I
have
no
doubt
that
we
shall
be
able
to
do
something
for
you
.
What
is
your
particular
line
,
Mr.
Harris
?

"
I
am
an
accountant
,
"
said
Holmes
.
589
"
Ah
,
yes
,
we
shall
want
something
of
the
sort
.
And
you
.
Mr.
Price
?
