We
sat
in
silence
for
a
moment
.
“
Well
,
”
said
Lestrade
,
“
I
’
ve
seen
you
handle
a
good
many
cases
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
but
I
don
’
t
know
that
I
ever
knew
a
more
workmanlike
one
than
that
.
We
’
re
not
jealous
of
you
at
Scotland
Yard
.
No
,
sir
,
we
are
very
proud
of
you
,
and
if
you
come
down
to
-
morrow
,
there
’
s
not
a
man
,
from
the
oldest
inspector
to
the
youngest
constable
,
who
wouldn
’
t
be
glad
to
shake
you
by
the
hand
.
”
“
Thank
you
!
”
said
Holmes
.
“
Thank
you
!
”
and
as
he
turned
away
,
it
seemed
to
me
that
he
was
more
nearly
moved
by
the
softer
human
emotions
than
I
had
ever
seen
him
.
A
moment
later
he
was
the
cold
and
practical
thinker
once
more
.
“
Put
the
pearl
in
the
safe
,
Watson
,
”
said
he
,
“
and
get
out
the
papers
of
the
Conk
-
Singleton
forgery
case
Good
-
bye
,
Lestrade
.
If
any
little
problem
comes
your
way
,
I
shall
be
happy
,
if
I
can
,
to
give
you
a
hint
or
two
as
to
its
solution
.
”
It
was
in
the
year
’
95
that
a
combination
of
events
,
into
which
I
need
not
enter
,
caused
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
and
myself
to
spend
some
weeks
in
one
of
our
great
university
towns
,
and
it
was
during
this
time
that
the
small
but
instructive
adventure
which
I
am
about
to
relate
befell
us
.
It
will
be
obvious
that
any
details
which
would
help
the
reader
exactly
to
identify
the
college
or
the
criminal
would
be
injudicious
and
offensive
.
So
painful
a
scandal
may
well
be
allowed
to
die
out
.
With
due
discretion
the
incident
itself
may
,
however
,
be
described
,
since
it
serves
to
illustrate
some
of
those
qualities
for
which
my
friend
was
remarkable
.
I
will
endeavour
,
in
my
statement
,
to
avoid
such
terms
as
would
serve
to
limit
the
events
to
any
particular
place
,
or
give
a
clue
as
to
the
people
concerned
.
We
were
residing
at
the
time
in
furnished
lodgings
close
to
a
library
where
Sherlock
Holmes
was
pursuing
some
laborious
researches
in
early
English
charters
—
researches
which
led
to
results
so
striking
that
they
may
be
the
subject
of
one
of
my
future
narratives
.
Here
it
was
that
one
evening
we
received
a
visit
from
an
acquaintance
,
Mr
.
Hilton
Soames
,
tutor
and
lecturer
at
the
College
of
St
.
Luke
’
s
.
Mr
.
Soames
was
a
tall
,
spare
man
,
of
a
nervous
and
excitable
temperament
.
I
had
always
known
him
to
be
restless
in
his
manner
,
but
on
this
particular
occasion
he
was
in
such
a
state
of
uncontrollable
agitation
that
it
was
clear
something
very
unusual
had
occurred
.
“
I
trust
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
you
can
spare
me
a
few
hours
of
your
valuable
time
.
We
have
had
a
very
painful
incident
at
St
.
Luke
’
s
,
and
really
,
but
for
the
happy
chance
of
your
being
in
town
,
I
should
have
been
at
a
loss
what
to
do
.
”
“
I
am
very
busy
just
now
,
and
I
desire
no
distractions
,
”
my
friend
answered
.
“
I
should
much
prefer
that
you
called
in
the
aid
of
the
police
.
”
“
No
,
no
,
my
dear
sir
;
such
a
course
is
utterly
impossible
.
When
once
the
law
is
evoked
it
cannot
be
stayed
again
,
and
this
is
just
one
of
those
cases
where
,
for
the
credit
of
the
college
,
it
is
most
essential
to
avoid
scandal
.
Your
discretion
is
as
well
-
known
as
your
powers
,
and
you
are
the
one
man
in
the
world
who
can
help
me
.
I
beg
you
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
to
do
what
you
can
.
”
