My
friend
’
s
temper
had
not
improved
since
he
had
been
deprived
of
the
congenial
surroundings
of
Baker
Street
.
Without
his
scrapbooks
,
his
chemicals
,
and
his
homely
untidiness
,
he
was
an
uncomfortable
man
.
He
shrugged
his
shoulders
in
ungracious
acquiescence
,
while
our
visitor
in
hurried
words
and
with
much
excitable
gesticulation
poured
forth
his
story
.
“
I
must
explain
to
you
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
to
-
morrow
is
the
first
day
of
the
examination
for
the
Fortescue
Scholarship
.
I
am
one
of
the
examiners
.
My
subject
is
Greek
,
and
the
first
of
the
papers
consists
of
a
large
passage
of
Greek
translation
which
the
candidate
has
not
seen
.
This
passage
is
printed
on
the
examination
paper
,
and
it
would
naturally
be
an
immense
advantage
if
the
candidate
could
prepare
it
in
advance
.
For
this
reason
,
great
care
is
taken
to
keep
the
paper
secret
.
“
To
-
day
,
about
three
o
’
clock
,
the
proofs
of
this
paper
arrived
from
the
printers
.
The
exercise
consists
of
half
a
chapter
of
Thucydides
.
I
had
to
read
it
over
carefully
,
as
the
text
must
be
absolutely
correct
.
At
four
-
thirty
my
task
was
not
yet
completed
.
I
had
,
however
,
promised
to
take
tea
in
a
friend
’
s
rooms
,
so
I
left
the
proof
upon
my
desk
.
I
was
absent
rather
more
than
an
hour
.
“
You
are
aware
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
our
college
doors
are
double
—
a
green
baize
one
within
and
a
heavy
oak
one
without
.
As
I
approached
my
outer
door
,
I
was
amazed
to
see
a
key
in
it
.
For
an
instant
I
imagined
that
I
had
left
my
own
there
,
but
on
feeling
in
my
pocket
I
found
that
it
was
all
right
.
The
only
duplicate
which
existed
,
so
far
as
I
knew
,
was
that
which
belonged
to
my
servant
,
Bannister
—
a
man
who
has
looked
after
my
room
for
ten
years
,
and
whose
honesty
is
absolutely
above
suspicion
.
I
found
that
the
key
was
indeed
his
,
that
he
had
entered
my
room
to
know
if
I
wanted
tea
,
and
that
he
had
very
carelessly
left
the
key
in
the
door
when
he
came
out
.
His
visit
to
my
room
must
have
been
within
a
very
few
minutes
of
my
leaving
it
.
His
forgetfulness
about
the
key
would
have
mattered
little
upon
any
other
occasion
,
but
on
this
one
day
it
has
produced
the
most
deplorable
consequences
.
“
The
moment
I
looked
at
my
table
,
I
was
aware
that
someone
had
rummaged
among
my
papers
.
The
proof
was
in
three
long
slips
.
I
had
left
them
all
together
.
Now
,
I
found
that
one
of
them
was
lying
on
the
floor
,
one
was
on
the
side
table
near
the
window
,
and
the
third
was
where
I
had
left
it
.
”
Holmes
stirred
for
the
first
time
.
“
The
first
page
on
the
floor
,
the
second
in
the
window
,
the
third
where
you
left
it
,
”
said
he
.
“
Exactly
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
You
amaze
me
.
How
could
you
possibly
know
that
?
”
