Pray
continue
your
very
interesting
statement
.
”
“
For
an
instant
I
imagined
that
Bannister
had
taken
the
unpardonable
liberty
of
examining
my
papers
.
He
denied
it
,
however
,
with
the
utmost
earnestness
,
and
I
am
convinced
that
he
was
speaking
the
truth
.
The
alternative
was
that
someone
passing
had
observed
the
key
in
the
door
,
had
known
that
I
was
out
,
and
had
entered
to
look
at
the
papers
.
A
large
sum
of
money
is
at
stake
,
for
the
scholarship
is
a
very
valuable
one
,
and
an
unscrupulous
man
might
very
well
run
a
risk
in
order
to
gain
an
advantage
over
his
fellows
.
“
Bannister
was
very
much
upset
by
the
incident
.
He
had
nearly
fainted
when
we
found
that
the
papers
had
undoubtedly
been
tampered
with
.
I
gave
him
a
little
brandy
and
left
him
collapsed
in
a
chair
,
while
I
made
a
most
careful
examination
of
the
room
.
I
soon
saw
that
the
intruder
had
left
other
traces
of
his
presence
besides
the
rumpled
papers
.
On
the
table
in
the
window
were
several
shreds
from
a
pencil
which
had
been
sharpened
.
A
broken
tip
of
lead
was
lying
there
also
.
Evidently
the
rascal
had
copied
the
paper
in
a
great
hurry
,
had
broken
his
pencil
,
and
had
been
compelled
to
put
a
fresh
point
to
it
.
”
“
Excellent
!
”
said
Holmes
,
who
was
recovering
his
good
-
humour
as
his
attention
became
more
engrossed
by
the
case
.
“
Fortune
has
been
your
friend
.
”
“
This
was
not
all
.
I
have
a
new
writing
-
table
with
a
fine
surface
of
red
leather
.
I
am
prepared
to
swear
,
and
so
is
Bannister
,
that
it
was
smooth
and
unstained
.
Now
I
found
a
clean
cut
in
it
about
three
inches
long
—
not
a
mere
scratch
,
but
a
positive
cut
.
Not
only
this
,
but
on
the
table
I
found
a
small
ball
of
black
dough
or
clay
,
with
specks
of
something
which
looks
like
sawdust
in
it
.
I
am
convinced
that
these
marks
were
left
by
the
man
who
rifled
the
papers
.
There
were
no
footmarks
and
no
other
evidence
as
to
his
identity
.
I
was
at
my
wits
’
end
,
when
suddenly
the
happy
thought
occurred
to
me
that
you
were
in
the
town
,
and
I
came
straight
round
to
put
the
matter
into
your
hands
.
Do
help
me
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
You
see
my
dilemma
.
Either
I
must
find
the
man
or
else
the
examination
must
be
postponed
until
fresh
papers
are
prepared
,
and
since
this
cannot
be
done
without
explanation
,
there
will
ensue
a
hideous
scandal
,
which
will
throw
a
cloud
not
only
on
the
college
,
but
on
the
university
.
Above
all
things
,
I
desire
to
settle
the
matter
quietly
and
discreetly
.
”
“
I
shall
be
happy
to
look
into
it
and
to
give
you
such
advice
as
I
can
,
”
said
Holmes
,
rising
and
putting
on
his
overcoat
.
“
The
case
is
not
entirely
devoid
of
interest
.
Had
anyone
visited
you
in
your
room
after
the
papers
came
to
you
?
”
“
Yes
,
young
Daulat
Ras
,
an
Indian
student
,
who
lives
on
the
same
stair
,
came
in
to
ask
me
some
particulars
about
the
examination
.
”
“
For
which
he
was
entered
?
”
“
Yes
.
”
