“
Unless
he
fell
upon
the
knife
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
Exactly
.
The
idea
crossed
my
mind
.
But
we
found
the
knife
some
feet
away
from
the
body
,
so
that
seems
impossible
.
Then
,
of
course
,
there
are
the
man
’
s
own
dying
words
.
And
,
finally
,
there
was
this
very
important
piece
of
evidence
which
was
found
clasped
in
the
dead
man
’
s
right
hand
.
”
From
his
pocket
Stanley
Hopkins
drew
a
small
paper
packet
.
He
unfolded
it
and
disclosed
a
golden
pince
-
nez
,
with
two
broken
ends
of
black
silk
cord
dangling
from
the
end
of
it
.
“
Willoughby
Smith
had
excellent
sight
,
”
he
added
.
“
There
can
be
no
question
that
this
was
snatched
from
the
face
or
the
person
of
the
assassin
.

Sherlock
Holmes
took
the
glasses
into
his
hand
,
and
examined
them
with
the
utmost
attention
and
interest
.
He
held
them
on
his
nose
,
endeavoured
to
read
through
them
,
went
to
the
window
and
stared
up
the
street
with
them
,
looked
at
them
most
minutely
in
the
full
light
of
the
lamp
,
and
finally
,
with
a
chuckle
,
seated
himself
at
the
table
and
wrote
a
few
lines
upon
a
sheet
of
paper
,
which
he
tossed
across
to
Stanley
Hopkins
.
“
That
’
s
the
best
I
can
do
for
you
,
”
said
he
.
“
It
may
prove
to
be
of
some
use
.
”
The
astonished
detective
read
the
note
aloud
.
It
ran
as
follows
:

“
Wanted
,
a
woman
of
good
address
,
attired
like
a
lady
.
She
has
a
remarkably
thick
nose
,
with
eyes
which
are
set
close
upon
either
side
of
it
.
She
has
a
puckered
forehead
,
a
peering
expression
,
and
probably
rounded
shoulders
.
There
are
indications
that
she
has
had
recourse
to
an
optician
at
least
twice
during
the
last
few
months
.
As
her
glasses
are
of
remarkable
strength
,
and
as
opticians
are
not
very
numerous
,
there
should
be
no
difficulty
in
tracing
her
.
”
Holmes
smiled
at
the
astonishment
of
Hopkins
,
which
must
have
been
reflected
upon
my
features
.
“
Surely
my
deductions
are
simplicity
itself
,
”
said
he
.
“
It
would
be
difficult
to
name
any
articles
which
afford
a
finer
field
for
inference
than
a
pair
of
glasses
,
especially
so
remarkable
a
pair
as
these
.
That
they
belong
to
a
woman
I
infer
from
their
delicacy
,
and
also
,
of
course
,
from
the
last
words
of
the
dying
man
.
As
to
her
being
a
person
of
refinement
and
well
dressed
,
they
are
,
as
you
perceive
,
handsomely
mounted
in
solid
gold
,
and
it
is
inconceivable
that
anyone
who
wore
such
glasses
could
be
slatternly
in
other
respects
.
You
will
find
that
the
clips
are
too
wide
for
your
nose
,
showing
that
the
lady
’
s
nose
was
very
broad
at
the
base
.
This
sort
of
nose
is
usually
a
short
and
coarse
one
,
but
there
is
a
sufficient
number
of
exceptions
to
prevent
me
from
being
dogmatic
or
from
insisting
upon
this
point
in
my
description
.
My
own
face
is
a
narrow
one
,
and
yet
I
find
that
I
cannot
get
my
eyes
into
the
centre
,
nor
near
the
centre
,
of
these
glasses
.
Therefore
,
the
lady
’
s
eyes
are
set
very
near
to
the
sides
of
the
nose
.
You
will
perceive
,
Watson
,
that
the
glasses
are
concave
and
of
unusual
strength
.
A
lady
whose
vision
has
been
so
extremely
contracted
all
her
life
is
sure
to
have
the
physical
characteristics
of
such
vision
,
which
are
seen
in
the
forehead
,
the
eyelids
,
and
the
shoulders
.
