And
how
was
it
then
that
Charles
did
not
get
his
crown
when
he
returned
?
"
asked
Musgrave
,
pushing
back
the
relic
into
its
linen
bag
.
"
'
Ah
,
there
you
lay
your
finger
upon
the
one
point
which
we
shall
probably
never
be
able
to
clear
up
.
It
is
likely
that
the
Musgrave
who
held
the
secret
died
in
the
interval
,
and
by
some
oversight
left
this
guide
to
his
descendant
without
explaining
the
meaning
of
it
From
that
day
to
this
it
has
been
handed
down
from
father
to
son
,
until
at
last
it
came
within
reach
of
a
man
who
tore
its
secret
out
of
it
and
lost
his
life
in
the
venture
.

And
that
's
the
story
of
the
Musgrave
Ritual

They
have
the
crown
down
at
Hurlstone
--
though
they
had
some
legal
bother
and
a
considerable
sum
to
pay
before
they
were
allowed
to
retain
it
.
I
am
sure
that
if
you
mentioned
my
name
they
would
be
happy
to
show
it
to
you
.
Of
the
woman
nothing
was
ever
heard
,
and
the
probability
is
that
she
got
away
out
of
England
and
carried
herself
and
the
memory
of
her
crime
to
some
land
beyond
the
seas
.

It
was
some
time
before
the
health
of
my
friend
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes
recovered
from
the
strain
caused
by
his
immense
exertions
in
the
spring
of
'
87
.
The
whole
question
of
the
Netherland-Sumatra
Company
and
of
the
colossal
schemes
of
Baron
Maupertuis
are
too
recent
in
the
minds
of
the
public
,
and
are
too
intimately
concerned
with
politics
and
finance
to
be
fitting
subjects
for
this
series
of
sketches
.
They
led
,
however
,
in
an
indirect
fashion
to
a
singular
and
complex
problem
which
gave
my
friend
an
opportunity
of
demonstrating
the
value
of
a
fresh
weapon
among
the
many
with
which
he
waged
his
lifelong
battle
against
crime
.
On
referring
to
my
notes
I
see
that
it
was
upon
the
fourteenth
of
April
that
I
received
a
telegram
from
Lyons
which
informed
me
that
Holmes
was
lying
ill
in
the
Hotel
Dulong
.
Within
twenty-four
hours
I
was
in
his
sick-room
and
was
relieved
to
find
that
there
was
nothing
formidable
in
his
symptoms
.
Even
his
iron
constitution
,
however
,
had
broken
down
under
the
strain
of
an
investigation
which
had
extended
over
two
months
,
during
which
period
he
had
never
worked
less
than
fifteen
hours
a
day
and
had
more
than
once
,
as
he
assured
me
,
kept
to
his
task
for
five
days
at
a
stretch
.
Even
the
triumphant
issue
of
his
labours
could
not
save
him
from
reaction
after
so
terrible
an
exertion
,
and
at
a
time
when
Europe
was
ringing
with
his
name
and
when
his
room
was
literally
ankle-deep
with
congratulatory
telegrams
I
found
him
a
prey
to
the
blackest
depression
.
Even
the
knowledge
that
he
had
succeeded
where
the
police
of
three
countries
had
failed
,
and
that
he
had
outmanoeuvred
at
every
point
the
most
accomplished
swindler
in
Europe
,
was
insufficient
to
rouse
him
from
his
nervous
prostration
.
Three
days
later
we
were
back
in
Baker
Street
together
;
but
it
was
evident
that
my
friend
would
be
much
the
better
for
a
change
,
and
the
thought
of
a
week
of
springtime
in
the
country
was
full
of
attractions
to
me
also
.
My
old
friend
,
Colonel
Hayter
,
who
had
come
under
my
professional
care
in
Afghanistan
,
had
now
taken
a
house
near
Reigate
in
Surrey
and
had
frequently
asked
me
to
come
down
to
him
upon
a
visit
.
On
the
last
occasion
he
had
remarked
that
if
my
friend
would
only
come
with
me
he
would
be
glad
to
extend
his
hospitality
to
him
also
.
A
little
diplomacy
was
needed
,
but
when
Holmes
understood
that
the
establishment
was
a
bachelor
one
,
and
that
he
would
be
allowed
the
fullest
freedom
,
he
fell
in
with
my
plans
and
a
week
after
our
return
from
Lyons
we
were
under
the
colonel
's
roof
.
Hayter
was
a
fine
old
soldier
who
had
seen
much
of
the
world
,
and
he
soon
found
,
as
I
had
expected
,
that
Holmes
and
he
had
much
in
common
.
On
the
evening
of
our
arrival
we
were
sitting
in
the
colonel
's
gun-room
after
dinner
,
Holmes
stretched
upon
the
sofa
,
while
Hayter
and
I
looked
over
his
little
armory
of
Eastern
weapons
.
"
By
the
way
,
"
said
he
suddenly
,
"
I
think
I
'll
take
one
of
these
pistols
upstairs
with
me
in
case
we
have
an
alarm
.
"
