In
this
memorable
year
’
95
,
a
curious
and
incongruous
succession
of
cases
had
engaged
his
attention
,
ranging
from
his
famous
investigation
of
the
sudden
death
of
Cardinal
Tosca
—
an
inquiry
which
was
carried
out
by
him
at
the
express
desire
of
His
Holiness
the
Pope
—
down
to
his
arrest
of
Wilson
,
the
notorious
canary
-
trainer
,
which
removed
a
plague
-
spot
from
the
East
End
of
London
.
Close
on
the
heels
of
these
two
famous
cases
came
the
tragedy
of
Woodman
’
s
Lee
,
and
the
very
obscure
circumstances
which
surrounded
the
death
of
Captain
Peter
Carey
.
No
record
of
the
doings
of
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
would
be
complete
which
did
not
include
some
account
of
this
very
unusual
affair
.
During
the
first
week
of
July
,
my
friend
had
been
absent
so
often
and
so
long
from
our
lodgings
that
I
knew
he
had
something
on
hand
.
The
fact
that
several
rough
-
looking
men
called
during
that
time
and
inquired
for
Captain
Basil
made
me
understand
that
Holmes
was
working
somewhere
under
one
of
the
numerous
disguises
and
names
with
which
he
concealed
his
own
formidable
identity
.
He
had
at
least
five
small
refuges
in
different
parts
of
London
,
in
which
he
was
able
to
change
his
personality
.
He
said
nothing
of
his
business
to
me
,
and
it
was
not
my
habit
to
force
a
confidence
.
The
first
positive
sign
which
he
gave
me
of
the
direction
which
his
investigation
was
taking
was
an
extraordinary
one
.
He
had
gone
out
before
breakfast
,
and
I
had
sat
down
to
mine
when
he
strode
into
the
room
,
his
hat
upon
his
head
and
a
huge
barbed
-
headed
spear
tucked
like
an
umbrella
under
his
arm
.
“
Good
gracious
,
Holmes
!
”
I
cried
.
“
You
don
’
t
mean
to
say
that
you
have
been
walking
about
London
with
that
thing
?
”
“
I
drove
to
the
butcher
’
s
and
back
.
”
“
The
butcher
’
s
?
”
“
And
I
return
with
an
excellent
appetite
.
There
can
be
no
question
,
my
dear
Watson
,
of
the
value
of
exercise
before
breakfast
.
But
I
am
prepared
to
bet
that
you
will
not
guess
the
form
that
my
exercise
has
taken
.
”
“
I
will
not
attempt
it
.
”
He
chuckled
as
he
poured
out
the
coffee
.
“
If
you
could
have
looked
into
Allardyce
’
s
back
shop
,
you
would
have
seen
a
dead
pig
swung
from
a
hook
in
the
ceiling
,
and
a
gentleman
in
his
shirt
sleeves
furiously
stabbing
at
it
with
this
weapon
.
I
was
that
energetic
person
,
and
I
have
satisfied
myself
that
by
no
exertion
of
my
strength
can
I
transfix
the
pig
with
a
single
blow
.
Perhaps
you
would
care
to
try
?
