“
These
are
my
last
words
,
”
said
she
;
“
here
is
the
packet
which
will
save
Alexis
.
I
confide
it
to
your
honour
and
to
your
love
of
justice
.
Take
it
!
You
will
deliver
it
at
the
Russian
Embassy
.
Now
,
I
have
done
my
duty
,
and
—
—
”
“
Stop
her
!
”
cried
Holmes
.
He
had
bounded
across
the
room
and
had
wrenched
a
small
phial
from
her
hand
.
“
Too
late
!
”
she
said
,
sinking
back
on
the
bed
.
“
Too
late
!
I
took
the
poison
before
I
left
my
hiding
-
place
.
My
head
swims
!
I
am
going
!
I
charge
you
,
sir
,
to
remember
the
packet
.
”
“
A
simple
case
,
and
yet
,
in
some
ways
,
an
instructive
one
,
”
Holmes
remarked
,
as
we
travelled
back
to
town
.
“
It
hinged
from
the
outset
upon
the
pince
-
nez
.
But
for
the
fortunate
chance
of
the
dying
man
having
seized
these
,
I
am
not
sure
that
we
could
ever
have
reached
our
solution
.
It
was
clear
to
me
,
from
the
strength
of
the
glasses
,
that
the
wearer
must
have
been
very
blind
and
helpless
when
deprived
of
them
.
When
you
asked
me
to
believe
that
she
walked
along
a
narrow
strip
of
grass
without
once
making
a
false
step
,
I
remarked
,
as
you
may
remember
,
that
it
was
a
noteworthy
performance
.
In
my
mind
I
set
it
down
as
an
impossible
performance
,
save
in
the
unlikely
case
that
she
had
a
second
pair
of
glasses
.
I
was
forced
,
therefore
,
to
consider
seriously
the
hypothesis
that
she
had
remained
within
the
house
.
On
perceiving
the
similarity
of
the
two
corridors
,
it
became
clear
that
she
might
very
easily
have
made
such
a
mistake
,
and
,
in
that
case
,
it
was
evident
that
she
must
have
entered
the
professor
’
s
room
I
was
keenly
on
the
alert
,
therefore
,
for
whatever
would
bear
out
this
supposition
,
and
I
examined
the
room
narrowly
for
anything
in
the
shape
of
a
hiding
-
place
.
The
carpet
seemed
continuous
and
firmly
nailed
,
so
I
dismissed
the
idea
of
a
trap
-
door
.
There
might
well
be
a
recess
behind
the
books
.
As
you
are
aware
,
such
devices
are
common
in
old
libraries
.
I
observed
that
books
were
piled
on
the
floor
at
all
other
points
,
but
that
one
bookcase
was
left
clear
.
This
,
then
,
might
be
the
door
.
I
could
see
no
marks
to
guide
me
,
but
the
carpet
was
of
a
dun
colour
,
which
lends
itself
very
well
to
examination
.
I
therefore
smoked
a
great
number
of
those
excellent
cigarettes
,
and
I
dropped
the
ash
all
over
the
space
in
front
of
the
suspected
bookcase
.
It
was
a
simple
trick
,
but
exceedingly
effective
.
I
then
went
downstairs
,
and
I
ascertained
,
in
your
presence
,
Watson
,
without
your
perceiving
the
drift
of
my
remarks
,
that
Professor
Coram
’
s
consumption
of
food
had
increased
—
as
one
would
expect
when
he
is
supplying
a
second
person
.
We
then
ascended
to
the
room
again
,
when
,
by
upsetting
the
cigarette
-
box
,
I
obtained
a
very
excellent
view
of
the
floor
,
and
was
able
to
see
quite
clearly
,
from
the
traces
upon
the
cigarette
ash
,
that
the
prisoner
had
in
our
absence
come
out
from
her
retreat
.
Well
,
Hopkins
,
here
we
are
at
Charing
Cross
,
and
I
congratulate
you
on
having
brought
your
case
to
a
successful
conclusion
.
You
are
going
to
headquarters
,
no
doubt
.
I
think
,
Watson
,
you
and
I
will
drive
together
to
the
Russian
Embassy
.
”
We
were
fairly
accustomed
to
receive
weird
telegrams
at
Baker
Street
,
but
I
have
a
particular
recollection
of
one
which
reached
us
on
a
gloomy
February
morning
,
some
seven
or
eight
years
ago
,
and
gave
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
a
puzzled
quarter
of
an
hour
.
It
was
addressed
to
him
,
and
ran
thus
:
Please
await
me
.
Terrible
misfortune
.
Right
wing
three
-
quarter
missing
,
indispensable
to
-
morrow
.
OVERTON
.
“
Strand
postmark
,
and
dispatched
ten
thirty
-
six
,
”
said
Holmes
,
reading
it
over
and
over
.
“
Mr
.
Overton
was
evidently
considerably
excited
when
he
sent
it
,
and
somewhat
incoherent
in
consequence
.
Well
,
well
,
he
will
be
here
,
I
daresay
,
by
the
time
I
have
looked
through
The
Times
,
and
then
we
shall
know
all
about
it
.
Even
the
most
insignificant
problem
would
be
welcome
in
these
stagnant
days
.
”
Things
had
indeed
been
very
slow
with
us
,
and
I
had
learned
to
dread
such
periods
of
inaction
,
for
I
knew
by
experience
that
my
companion
’
s
brain
was
so
abnormally
active
that
it
was
dangerous
to
leave
it
without
material
upon
which
to
work
.
For
years
I
had
gradually
weaned
him
from
that
drug
mania
which
had
threatened
once
to
check
his
remarkable
career
.
Now
I
knew
that
under
ordinary
conditions
he
no
longer
craved
for
this
artificial
stimulus
,
but
I
was
well
aware
that
the
fiend
was
not
dead
but
sleeping
,
and
I
have
known
that
the
sleep
was
a
light
one
and
the
waking
near
when
in
periods
of
idleness
I
have
seen
the
drawn
look
upon
Holmes
’
s
ascetic
face
,
and
the
brooding
of
his
deep
-
set
and
inscrutable
eyes
.
Therefore
I
blessed
this
Mr
.
Overton
whoever
he
might
be
,
since
he
had
come
with
his
enigmatic
message
to
break
that
dangerous
calm
which
brought
more
peril
to
my
friend
than
all
the
storms
of
his
tempestuous
life
.
