Quite
so
.
Why
?
When
we
answer
that
we
have
made
some
progress
with
our
little
problem
.
Why
?
There
can
be
only
one
adequate
reason
.
Someone
wanted
to
learn
to
imitate
your
writing
and
had
to
procure
a
specimen
of
it
first
.
And
now
if
we
pass
on
to
the
second
point
we
find
that
each
throws
light
upon
the
other
.
That
point
is
the
request
made
by
Pinner
that
you
should
not
resign
your
place
,
but
should
leave
the
manager
of
this
important
business
in
the
full
expectation
that
a
Mr.
Hall
Pycroft
,
whom
he
had
never
seen
,
was
about
to
enter
the
office
upon
the
Monday
morning
.
"
"
My
God
!
"
cried
our
client
,
"
what
a
blind
beetle
I
have
been
!
"
"
Now
you
see
the
point
about
the
handwriting
.
Suppose
that
someone
turned
up
in
your
place
who
wrote
a
completely
different
hand
from
that
in
which
you
had
applied
for
the
vacancy
,
of
course
the
game
would
have
been
up
.
But
in
the
interval
the
rogue
had
learned
to
imitate
you
,
and
his
position
was
therefore
secure
,
as
I
presume
that
nobody
in
the
office
had
ever
set
eyes
upon
you
.
"
Not
a
soul
,
"
groaned
Hall
Pycroft
.
"
Very
good
.
Of
course
it
was
of
the
utmost
importance
to
prevent
you
from
thinking
better
of
it
,
and
also
to
keep
you
from
coming
into
contact
with
anyone
who
might
tell
you
that
your
double
was
at
work
in
Mawson
's
office
.
Therefore
they
gave
you
a
handsome
advance
on
your
salary
,
and
ran
you
off
to
the
Midlands
,
where
they
gave
you
enough
work
to
do
to
prevent
your
going
to
London
,
where
you
might
have
burst
their
little
game
up
.
That
is
all
plain
enough
.
"
"
But
why
should
this
man
pretend
to
be
his
own
brother
?
"
"
Well
,
that
is
pretty
clear
also
.
There
are
evidently
only
two
of
them
in
it
.
The
other
is
impersonating
you
at
the
office
.
This
one
acted
as
your
engager
,
and
then
found
that
he
could
not
find
you
an
employer
without
admitting
a
third
person
into
his
plot
.
That
he
was
most
unwilling
to
do
.
He
changed
his
appearance
as
far
as
he
could
,
and
trusted
that
the
likeness
,
which
you
could
not
fail
to
observe
,
would
be
put
down
to
a
family
resemblance
.
But
for
the
happy
chance
of
the
gold
stuffing
,
your
suspicions
would
probably
never
have
been
aroused
.
"
Hall
Pycroft
shook
his
clenched
hands
in
the
air
.
"
Good
Lord
!
"
he
cried
,
"
while
I
have
been
fooled
in
this
way
,
what
has
this
other
Hall
Pycroft
been
doing
at
Mawson
's
?
What
should
we
do
,
Mr.
Holmes
?
Tell
me
what
to
do
.
