“
I
think
there
will
be
no
difficulty
in
clearing
it
up
,
”
said
Lestrade
,
grimly
.
“
None
the
less
,
with
your
permission
,
I
should
be
much
interested
to
hear
his
account
.
”
“
Well
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
it
is
difficult
for
me
to
refuse
you
anything
,
for
you
have
been
of
use
to
the
force
once
or
twice
in
the
past
,
and
we
owe
you
a
good
turn
at
Scotland
Yard
,
”
said
Lestrade
.
“
At
the
same
time
I
must
remain
with
my
prisoner
,
and
I
am
bound
to
warn
him
that
anything
he
may
say
will
appear
in
evidence
against
him
.
”
“
I
wish
nothing
better
,
”
said
our
client
.
“
All
I
ask
is
that
you
should
hear
and
recognize
the
absolute
truth
.
”
Lestrade
looked
at
his
watch
.
“
I
’
ll
give
you
half
an
hour
,
”
said
he
.
“
I
must
explain
first
,
”
said
McFarlane
,
“
that
I
knew
nothing
of
Mr
.
Jonas
Oldacre
.
His
name
was
familiar
to
me
,
for
many
years
ago
my
parents
were
acquainted
with
him
,
but
they
drifted
apart
.
I
was
very
much
surprised
therefore
,
when
yesterday
,
about
three
o
’
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
he
walked
into
my
office
in
the
city
.
But
I
was
still
more
astonished
when
he
told
me
the
object
of
his
visit
.
He
had
in
his
hand
several
sheets
of
a
notebook
,
covered
with
scribbled
writing
—
here
they
are
—
and
he
laid
them
on
my
table
.
“
‘
Here
is
my
will
,
’
said
he
.
‘
I
want
you
,
Mr
.
McFarlane
,
to
cast
it
into
proper
legal
shape
.
I
will
sit
here
while
you
do
so
.
’
“
I
set
myself
to
copy
it
,
and
you
can
imagine
my
astonishment
when
I
found
that
,
with
some
reservations
,
he
had
left
all
his
property
to
me
.
He
was
a
strange
little
ferret
-
like
man
,
with
white
eyelashes
,
and
when
I
looked
up
at
him
I
found
his
keen
grey
eyes
fixed
upon
me
with
an
amused
expression
.
I
could
hardly
believe
my
own
as
I
read
the
terms
of
the
will
;
but
he
explained
that
he
was
a
bachelor
with
hardly
any
living
relation
,
that
he
had
known
my
parents
in
his
youth
,
and
that
he
had
always
heard
of
me
as
a
very
deserving
young
man
,
and
was
assured
that
his
money
would
be
in
worthy
hands
.
Of
course
,
I
could
only
stammer
out
my
thanks
.
The
will
was
duly
finished
,
signed
,
and
witnessed
by
my
clerk
.
This
is
it
on
the
blue
paper
,
and
these
slips
,
as
I
have
explained
,
are
the
rough
draft
.
Mr
.
Jonas
Oldacre
then
informed
me
that
there
were
a
number
of
documents
—
building
leases
,
title
-
deeds
,
mortgages
,
scrip
,
and
so
forth
—
which
it
was
necessary
that
I
should
see
and
understand
.
He
said
that
his
mind
would
not
be
easy
until
the
whole
thing
was
settled
,
and
he
begged
me
to
come
out
to
his
house
at
Norwood
that
night
,
bringing
the
will
with
me
,
and
to
arrange
matters
.
‘
Remember
,
my
boy
,
not
one
word
to
your
parents
about
the
affair
until
everything
is
settled
.
We
will
keep
it
as
a
little
surprise
for
them
.
’
He
was
very
insistent
upon
this
point
,
and
made
me
promise
it
faithfully
.
“
You
can
imagine
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
I
was
not
in
a
humour
to
refuse
him
anything
that
he
might
ask
.
He
was
my
benefactor
,
and
all
my
desire
was
to
carry
out
his
wishes
in
every
particular
.
I
sent
a
telegram
home
,
therefore
,
to
say
that
I
had
important
business
on
hand
,
and
that
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
say
how
late
I
might
be
.
Mr
.
Oldacre
had
told
me
that
he
would
like
me
to
have
supper
with
him
at
nine
,
as
he
might
not
be
home
before
that
hour
.
I
had
some
difficulty
in
finding
his
house
,
however
,
and
it
was
nearly
half
-
past
before
I
reached
it
.
I
found
him
