of
value
was
taken
,
as
it
is
probable
that
the
criminals
were
men
of
good
position
,
whose
sole
object
was
to
prevent
social
exposure
.
”
“
Criminals
?
”
said
Holmes
.
“
Plural
?
”
“
Yes
,
there
were
two
of
them
.
They
were
as
nearly
as
possible
captured
red
-
handed
.
We
have
their
footmarks
,
we
have
their
description
,
it
’
s
ten
to
one
that
we
trace
them
.
The
first
fellow
was
a
bit
too
active
,
but
the
second
was
caught
by
the
under
-
gardener
,
and
only
got
away
after
a
struggle
.
He
was
a
middle
-
sized
,
strongly
built
man
—
square
jaw
,
thick
neck
,
moustache
,
a
mask
over
his
eyes
.
”
“
That
’
s
rather
vague
,
”
said
Sherlock
Holmes
.
“
My
,
it
might
be
a
description
of
Watson
!
”
“
It
’
s
true
,
”
said
the
inspector
,
with
amusement
.
“
It
might
be
a
description
of
Watson
.
”
“
Well
,
I
’
m
afraid
I
can
’
t
help
you
,
Lestrade
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
The
fact
is
that
I
knew
this
fellow
Milverton
,
that
I
considered
him
one
of
the
most
dangerous
men
in
London
,
and
that
I
think
there
are
certain
crimes
which
the
law
cannot
touch
,
and
which
therefore
,
to
some
extent
,
justify
private
revenge
.
No
,
it
’
s
no
use
arguing
.
I
have
made
up
my
mind
.
My
sympathies
are
with
the
criminals
rather
than
with
the
victim
,
and
I
will
not
handle
this
case
.
”
Holmes
had
not
said
one
word
to
me
about
the
tragedy
which
we
had
witnessed
,
but
I
observed
all
the
morning
that
he
was
in
his
most
thoughtful
mood
,
and
he
gave
me
the
impression
,
from
his
vacant
eyes
and
his
abstracted
manner
,
of
a
man
who
is
striving
to
recall
something
to
his
memory
.
We
were
in
the
middle
of
our
lunch
,
when
he
suddenly
sprang
to
his
feet
“
By
Jove
,
Watson
,
I
’
ve
got
it
!
”
he
cried
.
“
Take
your
hat
!
Come
with
me
!
”
He
hurried
at
his
top
speed
down
Baker
Street
and
along
Oxford
Street
,
until
we
had
almost
reached
Regent
Circus
.
Here
,
on
the
left
hand
,
there
stands
a
shop
window
filled
with
photographs
of
the
celebrities
and
beauties
of
the
day
.
Holmes
’
s
eyes
fixed
themselves
upon
one
of
them
,
and
following
his
gaze
I
saw
the
picture
of
a
regal
and
stately
lady
in
Court
dress
,
with
a
high
diamond
tiara
upon
her
noble
head
.
I
looked
at
that
delicately
curved
nose
,
at
the
marked
eyebrows
,
at
the
straight
mouth
,
and
the
strong
little
chin
beneath
it
.
Then
I
caught
my
breath
as
I
read
the
time
-
honoured
title
of
the
great
nobleman
and
statesman
whose
wife
she
had
been
.
My
eyes
met
those
of
Holmes
,
and
he
put
his
finger
to
his
lips
as
we
turned
away
from
the
window
.
It
was
no
very
unusual
thing
for
Mr
.
Lestrade
,
of
Scotland
Yard
,
to
look
in
upon
us
of
an
evening
,
and
his
visits
were
welcome
to
Sherlock
Holmes
,
for
they
enabled
him
to
keep
in
touch
with
all
that
was
going
on
at
the
police
headquarters
.
In
return
for
the
news
which
Lestrade
would
bring
,
Holmes
was
always
ready
to
listen
with
attention
to
the
details
of
any
case
upon
which
the
detective
was
engaged
,
and
was
able
occasionally
,
without
any
active
interference
,
to
give
some
hint
or
suggestion
drawn
from
his
own
vast
knowledge
and
experience
.
On
this
particular
evening
,
Lestrade
had
spoken
of
the
weather
and
the
newspapers
.
Then
he
had
fallen
silent
,
puffing
thoughtfully
at
his
cigar
.
Holmes
looked
keenly
at
him
.
