There
had
been
a
daughter
,
I
heard
,
but
she
had
died
of
diphtheria
while
on
a
visit
to
Birmingham
.
The
father
interested
me
extremely
.
He
was
a
man
of
little
culture
,
but
with
a
considerable
amount
of
rude
strength
,
both
physically
and
mentally
.
He
knew
hardly
any
books
,
but
he
had
travelled
far
,
had
seen
much
of
the
world
,
and
had
remembered
all
that
he
had
learned
.
In
person
he
was
a
thick-set
,
burly
man
with
a
shock
of
grizzled
hair
,
a
brown
,
weather-beaten
face
,
and
blue
eyes
which
were
keen
to
the
verge
of
fierceness
.
Yet
he
had
a
reputation
for
kindness
and
charity
on
the
countryside
,
and
was
noted
for
the
leniency
of
his
sentences
from
the
bench
.
"
One
evening
,
shortly
after
my
arrival
,
we
were
sitting
over
a
glass
of
port
after
dinner
,
when
young
Trevor
began
to
talk
about
those
habits
of
observation
and
inference
which
I
had
already
formed
into
a
system
,
although
I
had
not
yet
appreciated
the
part
which
they
were
to
play
in
my
life
.
The
old
man
evidently
thought
that
his
son
was
exaggerating
in
his
description
of
one
or
two
trivial
feats
which
I
had
performed
.
"
'
Come
,
now
,
Mr.
Holmes
,
"
said
he
,
laughing
goodhumouredly
.
'
I
'm
an
excellent
subject
,
if
you
can
deduce
anything
from
me
.
'
"
'
I
fear
there
is
not
very
much
,
"
I
answered
.
'
I
might
suggest
that
you
have
gone
about
in
fear
of
some
personal
attack
within
the
last
twelvemonth
.
'
"
The
laugh
faded
from
his
lips
,
and
he
stared
at
me
in
great
surprise
.
"
'
Well
,
that
's
true
enough
,
"
said
he
.
'
You
know
,
Victor
,
"
turning
to
his
son
,
'
when
we
broke
up
that
poaching
gang
they
swore
to
knife
us
,
and
Sir
Edward
Holly
has
actually
been
attacked
.
I
've
always
been
on
my
guard
since
then
,
though
I
have
no
idea
how
you
know
it
.
'
"
'
You
have
a
very
handsome
stick
,
"
I
answered
.
'
By
the
inscription
I
observed
that
you
had
not
had
it
more
than
a
year
.
But
you
have
taken
some
pains
to
bore
the
head
of
it
and
pour
melted
lead
into
the
hole
so
as
to
make
it
a
formidable
weapon
.
I
argued
that
you
would
not
take
such
precautions
unless
you
had
some
danger
to
fear
.
'
"
'
Anything
else
?
"
he
asked
,
smiling
.
"
'
You
have
boxed
a
good
deal
in
your
youth
.
'
"
'
Right
again
.
How
did
you
know
it
?
Is
my
nose
knocked
a
little
out
of
the
straight
?
