We
had
driven
up
in
a
dog-cart
,
and
my
client
led
me
away
at
once
,
without
our
entering
the
house
,
to
the
scar
on
the
lawn
where
the
elm
had
stood
.
It
was
nearly
midway
between
the
oak
and
the
house
.
My
investigation
seemed
to
be
progressing
.
"
'
I
suppose
it
is
impossible
to
find
out
how
high
the
elm
was
?
"
I
asked
.
"
'
I
can
give
you
it
at
once
.
It
was
sixty-four
feet
.
'
"
'
How
do
you
come
to
know
it
?
"
I
asked
in
surprise
.
"
'
When
my
old
tutor
used
to
give
me
an
exercise
in
trigonometry
,
it
always
took
the
shape
of
measuring
heights
.
When
I
was
a
lad
I
worked
out
every
tree
and
building
in
the
estate
.
'
"
This
was
an
unexpected
piece
of
luck
.
My
data
were
coming
more
quickly
than
I
could
have
reasonably
hoped
.
"
'
Tell
me
,
"
I
asked
,
'
did
your
butler
ever
ask
you
such
a
question
?
'
"
Reginald
Musgrave
looked
at
me
in
astonishment
.
'
Now
that
you
call
it
to
my
mind
,
"
he
answered
,
'
Brunton
did
ask
me
about
the
height
of
the
tree
some
months
ago
in
connection
with
some
little
argument
with
the
groom
.
'
"
This
was
excellent
news
,
Watson
,
for
it
showed
me
that
I
was
on
the
right
road
.
I
looked
up
at
the
sun
.
It
was
low
in
the
heavens
,
and
I
calculated
that
in
less
than
an
hour
it
would
lie
just
above
the
topmost
branches
of
the
old
oak
.
One
condition
mentioned
in
the
Ritual
would
then
be
fulfilled
.
And
the
shadow
of
the
elm
must
mean
the
farther
end
of
the
shadow
,
otherwise
the
trunk
would
have
been
chosen
as
the
guide
.
I
had
,
then
,
to
find
where
the
far
end
of
the
shadow
would
fall
when
the
sun
was
just
clear
of
the
oak
.
