“
That
also
I
have
arranged
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
I
wrote
to
the
Duchess
this
morning
.
”
“
In
that
case
,
”
said
Holmes
,
rising
,
“
I
think
that
my
friend
and
I
can
congratulate
ourselves
upon
several
most
happy
results
from
our
little
visit
to
the
North
.
There
is
one
other
small
point
upon
which
I
desire
some
light
.
This
fellow
Hayes
had
shod
his
horses
with
shoes
which
counterfeited
the
tracks
of
cows
.
Was
it
from
Mr
.
Wilder
that
he
learned
so
extraordinary
a
device
?
”
The
Duke
stood
in
thought
for
a
moment
,
with
a
look
of
intense
surprise
on
his
face
.
Then
he
opened
a
door
and
showed
us
into
a
large
room
furnished
as
a
museum
.
He
led
the
way
to
a
glass
case
in
a
corner
,
and
pointed
to
the
inscription
.
“
These
shoes
,
”
it
ran
,
“
were
dug
up
in
the
moat
of
Holdernesse
Hall
.
They
are
for
the
use
of
horses
,
but
they
are
shaped
below
with
a
cloven
foot
of
iron
,
so
as
to
throw
pursuers
off
the
track
.
They
are
supposed
to
have
belonged
to
some
of
the
marauding
Barons
of
Holdernesse
in
the
Middle
Ages
.
”
Holmes
opened
the
case
,
and
moistening
his
finger
he
passed
it
along
the
shoe
.
A
thin
film
of
recent
mud
was
left
upon
his
skin
.
“
Thank
you
,
”
said
he
,
as
he
replaced
the
glass
.
“
It
is
the
second
most
interesting
object
that
I
have
seen
in
the
North
”
“
And
the
first
?
”
Holmes
folded
up
his
check
and
placed
it
carefully
in
his
notebook
.
“
I
am
a
poor
man
,
”
said
he
,
as
he
patted
it
affectionately
,
and
thrust
it
into
the
depths
of
his
inner
pocket
.
I
have
never
known
my
friend
to
be
in
better
form
,
both
mental
and
physical
,
than
in
the
year
’
95
.
His
increasing
fame
had
brought
with
it
an
immense
practice
,
and
I
should
be
guilty
of
an
indiscretion
if
I
were
even
to
hint
at
the
identity
of
some
of
the
illustrious
clients
who
crossed
our
humble
threshold
in
Baker
Street
.
Holmes
,
however
,
like
all
great
artists
,
lived
for
his
art
’
s
sake
,
and
,
save
in
the
case
of
the
Duke
of
Holdernesse
,
I
have
seldom
known
him
claim
any
large
reward
for
his
inestimable
services
.
So
unworldly
was
he
—
or
so
capricious
—
that
he
frequently
refused
his
help
to
the
powerful
and
wealthy
where
the
problem
made
no
appeal
to
his
sympathies
,
while
he
would
devote
weeks
of
most
intense
application
to
the
affairs
of
some
humble
client
whose
case
presented
those
strange
and
dramatic
qualities
which
appealed
to
his
imagination
and
challenged
his
ingenuity
.
