I
will
conceal
nothing
from
you
.
I
agree
with
you
that
complete
frankness
,
however
painful
it
may
be
to
me
,
is
the
best
policy
in
this
desperate
situation
to
which
James
’
s
folly
and
jealousy
have
reduced
us
.
When
I
was
a
very
young
man
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
I
loved
with
such
a
love
as
comes
only
once
in
a
lifetime
.
I
offered
the
lady
marriage
,
but
she
refused
it
on
the
grounds
that
such
a
match
might
mar
my
career
.
Had
she
lived
,
I
would
certainly
never
have
married
anyone
else
.
She
died
,
and
left
this
one
child
,
whom
for
her
sake
I
have
cherished
and
cared
for
.
I
could
not
acknowledge
the
paternity
to
the
world
,
but
I
gave
him
the
best
of
educations
,
and
since
he
came
to
manhood
I
have
kept
him
near
my
person
.
He
surmised
my
secret
,
and
has
presumed
ever
since
upon
the
claim
which
he
has
upon
me
,
and
upon
his
power
of
provoking
a
scandal
which
would
be
abhorrent
to
me
.
His
presence
had
something
to
do
with
the
unhappy
issue
of
my
marriage
.
Above
all
,
he
hated
my
young
legitimate
heir
from
the
first
with
a
persistent
hatred
.
You
may
well
ask
me
why
,
under
these
circumstances
,
I
still
kept
James
under
my
roof
.
I
answer
that
it
was
because
I
could
see
his
mother
’
s
face
in
his
,
and
that
for
her
dear
sake
there
was
no
end
to
my
long
-
suffering
.
All
her
pretty
ways
too
—
there
was
not
one
of
them
which
he
could
not
suggest
and
bring
back
to
my
memory
.
I
could
not
send
him
away
.
But
I
feared
so
much
lest
he
should
do
Arthur
—
that
is
,
Lord
Saltire
—
a
mischief
,
that
I
dispatched
him
for
safety
to
Dr
.
Huxtable
’
s
school
.
“
James
came
into
contact
with
this
fellow
Hayes
,
because
the
man
was
a
tenant
of
mine
,
and
James
acted
as
agent
.
The
fellow
was
a
rascal
from
the
beginning
,
but
,
in
some
extraordinary
way
,
James
became
intimate
with
him
.
He
had
always
a
taste
for
low
company
.
When
James
determined
to
kidnap
Lord
Saltire
,
it
was
of
this
man
’
s
service
that
he
availed
himself
.
You
remember
that
I
wrote
to
Arthur
upon
that
last
day
.
Well
,
James
opened
the
letter
and
inserted
a
note
asking
Arthur
to
meet
him
in
a
little
wood
called
the
Ragged
Shaw
,
which
is
near
to
the
school
.
He
used
the
Duchess
’
s
name
,
and
in
that
way
got
the
boy
to
come
.
That
evening
James
bicycled
over
—
I
am
telling
you
what
he
has
himself
confessed
to
me
—
and
he
told
Arthur
,
whom
he
met
in
the
wood
,
that
his
mother
longed
to
see
him
,
that
she
was
awaiting
him
on
the
moor
,
and
that
if
he
would
come
back
into
the
wood
at
midnight
he
would
find
a
man
with
a
horse
,
who
would
take
him
to
her
.
Poor
Arthur
fell
into
the
trap
.
He
came
to
the
appointment
,
and
found
this
fellow
Hayes
with
a
led
pony
.
Arthur
mounted
,
and
they
set
off
together
.
It
appears
—
though
this
James
only
heard
yesterday
—
that
they
were
pursued
,
that
Hayes
struck
the
pursuer
with
his
stick
,
and
that
the
man
died
of
his
injuries
.
Hayes
brought
Arthur
to
his
public
-
house
,
the
Fighting
Cock
,
where
he
was
confined
in
an
upper
room
,
under
the
care
of
Mrs
.
Hayes
,
who
is
a
kindly
woman
,
but
entirely
under
the
control
of
her
brutal
husband
.
“
Well
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
was
the
state
of
affairs
when
I
first
saw
you
two
days
ago
.
I
had
no
more
idea
of
the
truth
than
you
.
You
will
ask
me
what
was
James
’
s
motive
in
doing
such
a
deed
.
I
answer
that
there
was
a
great
deal
which
was
unreasoning
and
fanatical
in
the
hatred
which
he
bore
my
heir
.
In
his
view
he
should
himself
have
been
heir
of
all
my
estates
,
and
he
deeply
resented
those
social
laws
which
made
it
impossible
.
At
the
same
time
,
he
had
a
definite
motive
also
.
He
was
eager
that
I
should
break
the
entail
,
and
he
was
of
opinion
that
it
lay
in
my
power
to
do
so
.
He
intended
to
make
a
bargain
with
me
—
to
restore
Arthur
if
I
would
break
the
entail
,
and
so
make
it
possible
for
the
estate
to
be
left
to
him
by
will
.
He
knew
well
that
I
should
never
willingly
invoke
the
aid
of
the
police
against
him
.
I
say
that
he
would
have
proposed
such
a
bargain
to
me
,
but
he
did
not
actually
do
so
,
for
events
moved
too
quickly
for
him
,
and
he
had
not
time
to
put
his
plans
into
practice
.
“
What
brought
all
his
wicked
scheme
to
wreck
was
your
discovery
of
this
man
Heidegger
’
s
dead
body
.
James
was
seized
with
horror
at
the
news
.
It
came
to
us
yesterday
,
as
we
sat
together
in
this
study
.
Dr
.
Huxtable
had
sent
a
telegram
.
James
was
so
overwhelmed
with
grief
and
agitation
that
my
suspicions
,
which
had
never
been
entirely
absent
,
rose
instantly
to
a
certainty
,
and
I
taxed
him
with
the
deed
.
He
made
a
complete
voluntary
confession
.
Then
he
implored
me
to
keep
his
secret
for
three
days
longer
,
so
as
to
give
his
wretched
accomplice
a
chance
of
saving
his
guilty
life
.
I
yielded
—
as
I
have
always
yielded
—
to
his
prayers
,
and
instantly
James
hurried
off
to
the
Fighting
Cock
to
warn
Hayes
and
give
him
the
means
of
flight
.
I
could
not
go
there
by
daylight
without
provoking
comment
,
but
as
soon
as
night
fell
I
hurried
off
to
see
my
dear
Arthur
.
I
found
him
safe
and
well
,
but
horrified
beyond
expression
by
the
dreadful
deed
he
had
witnessed
.
In
deference
to
my
promise
,
and
much
against
my
will
,
I
consented
to
leave
him
there
for
three
days
,
under
the
charge
of
Mrs
.
Hayes
,
since
it
was
evident
that
it
was
impossible
to
inform
the
police
where
he
was
without
telling
them
also
who
was
the
murderer
,
and
I
could
not
see
how
that
murderer
could
be
punished
without
ruin
to
my
unfortunate
James
.
You
asked
for
frankness
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
and
I
have
taken
you
at
your
word
,
for
I
have
now
told
you
everything
without
an
attempt
at
circumlocution
or
concealment
.
Do
you
in
turn
be
as
frank
with
me
.
”
“
I
will
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
In
the
first
place
,
your
Grace
,
I
am
bound
to
tell
you
that
you
have
placed
yourself
in
a
most
serious
position
in
the
eyes
of
the
law
.
You
have
condoned
a
felony
,
and
you
have
aided
the
escape
of
a
murderer
,
for
I
cannot
doubt
that
any
money
which
was
taken
by
James
Wilder
to
aid
his
accomplice
in
his
flight
came
from
your
Grace
’
s
purse
.
”
The
Duke
bowed
his
assent
.
“
This
is
,
indeed
,
a
most
serious
matter
.
Even
more
culpable
in
my
opinion
,
your
Grace
,
is
your
attitude
towards
your
younger
son
.
You
leave
him
in
this
den
for
three
days
.
”
“
Under
solemn
promises
