“
Don
’
t
you
see
any
bearing
upon
the
case
?
Well
,
well
.
I
don
’
t
insist
upon
it
.
No
doubt
I
am
wrong
.
And
yet
it
seems
to
me
to
be
suggestive
.
Come
with
me
and
introduce
me
.
”
We
passed
down
the
passage
,
which
was
of
the
same
length
as
that
which
led
to
the
garden
.
At
the
end
was
a
short
flight
of
steps
ending
in
a
door
.
Our
guide
knocked
,
and
then
ushered
us
into
the
professor
’
s
bedroom
.

It
was
a
very
large
chamber
,
lined
with
innumerable
volumes
,
which
had
overflowed
from
the
shelves
and
lay
in
piles
in
the
corners
,
or
were
stacked
all
round
at
the
base
of
the
cases
.
The
bed
was
in
the
centre
of
the
room
,
and
in
it
,
propped
up
with
pillows
,
was
the
owner
of
the
house
.
I
have
seldom
seen
a
more
remarkable
-
looking
person
.
It
was
a
gaunt
,
aquiline
face
which
was
turned
towards
us
,
with
piercing
dark
eyes
,
which
lurked
in
deep
hollows
under
overhung
and
tufted
brows
.
His
hair
and
beard
were
white
,
save
that
the
latter
was
curiously
stained
with
yellow
around
his
mouth
.
A
cigarette
glowed
amid
the
tangle
of
white
hair
,
and
the
air
of
the
room
was
fetid
with
stale
tobacco
smoke
.
As
he
held
out
his
hand
to
Holmes
,
I
perceived
that
it
was
also
stained
with
yellow
nicotine
.
“
A
smoker
,
Mr
.
Holmes
?
”
said
he
,
speaking
in
well
-
chosen
English
,
with
a
curious
little
mincing
accent
.
“
Pray
take
a
cigarette
.
And
you
,
sir
?
I
can
recommend
them
,
for
I
have
them
especially
prepared
by
Ionides
,
of
Alexandria
.
He
sends
me
a
thousand
at
a
time
,
and
I
grieve
to
say
that
I
have
to
arrange
for
a
fresh
supply
every
fortnight
.
Bad
,
sir
,
very
bad
,
but
an
old
man
has
few
pleasures
.
Tobacco
and
my
work
—
that
is
all
that
is
left
to
me
.
”
Holmes
had
lit
a
cigarette
and
was
shooting
little
darting
glances
all
over
the
room
.
“
Tobacco
and
my
work
,
but
now
only
tobacco
,
”
the
old
man
exclaimed
.

“
Alas
!
what
a
fatal
interruption
!
Who
could
have
foreseen
such
a
terrible
catastrophe
?
So
estimable
a
young
man
!
I
assure
you
that
,
after
a
few
months
’
training
,
he
was
an
admirable
assistant
.
What
do
you
think
of
the
matter
,
Mr
.
Holmes
?
”
“
I
have
not
yet
made
up
my
mind
.
”
“
I
shall
indeed
be
indebted
to
you
if
you
can
throw
a
light
where
all
is
so
dark
to
us
.
To
a
poor
bookworm
and
invalid
like
myself
such
a
blow
is
paralysing
.
I
seem
to
have
lost
the
faculty
of
thought
.
But
you
are
a
man
of
action
—
you
are
a
man
of
affairs
.
It
is
part
of
the
everyday
routine
of
your
life
.
You
can
preserve
your
balance
in
every
emergency
.
We
are
fortunate
,
indeed
,
in
having
you
at
our
side
.
