“
Why
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
I
thought
you
knew
things
,
”
said
he
.
“
I
suppose
,
then
,
if
you
have
never
heard
of
Godfrey
Staunton
,
you
don
’
t
know
Cyril
Overton
either
?
”
Holmes
shook
his
head
good
humouredly
.
“
Great
Scott
!
”
cried
the
athlete
.
“
Why
,
I
was
first
reserve
for
England
against
Wales
,
and
I
’
ve
skippered
the
’
Varsity
all
this
year
.
But
that
’
s
nothing
!
I
didn
’
t
think
there
was
a
soul
in
England
who
didn
’
t
know
Godfrey
Staunton
,
the
crack
three
-
quarter
,
Cambridge
,
Blackheath
,
and
five
Internationals
.
Good
Lord
!
Mr
.
Holmes
,
where
have
you
lived
?

Holmes
laughed
at
the
young
giant
’
s
naïve
astonishment
.
“
You
live
in
a
different
world
to
me
,
Mr
.
Overton
—
a
sweeter
and
healthier
one
.
My
ramifications
stretch
out
into
many
sections
of
society
,
but
never
,
I
am
happy
to
say
,
into
amateur
sport
,
which
is
the
best
and
soundest
thing
in
England
.
However
,
your
unexpected
visit
this
morning
shows
me
that
even
in
that
world
of
fresh
air
and
fair
play
,
there
may
be
work
for
me
to
do
.
So
now
,
my
good
sir
,
I
beg
you
to
sit
down
and
to
tell
me
,
slowly
and
quietly
,
exactly
what
it
is
that
has
occurred
,
and
how
you
desire
that
I
should
help
you
.
”
Young
Overton
’
s
face
assumed
the
bothered
look
of
the
man
who
is
more
accustomed
to
using
his
muscles
than
his
wits
,
but
by
degrees
,
with
many
repetitions
and
obscurities
which
I
may
omit
from
his
narrative
,
he
laid
his
strange
story
before
us
.

“
It
’
s
this
way
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
As
I
have
said
,
I
am
the
skipper
of
the
Rugger
team
of
Cambridge
’
Varsity
,
and
Godfrey
Staunton
is
my
best
man
.
To
-
morrow
we
play
Oxford
.
Yesterday
we
all
came
up
,
and
we
settled
at
Bentley
’
s
private
hotel
.
At
ten
o
’
clock
I
went
round
and
saw
that
all
the
fellows
had
gone
to
roost
,
for
I
believe
in
strict
training
and
plenty
of
sleep
to
keep
a
team
fit
.
I
had
a
word
or
two
with
Godfrey
before
he
turned
in
.
He
seemed
to
me
to
be
pale
and
bothered
.
I
asked
him
what
was
the
matter
.
He
said
he
was
all
right
—
just
a
touch
of
headache
.
I
bade
him
good
-
night
and
left
him
.
Half
an
hour
later
,
the
porter
tells
me
that
a
rough
-
looking
man
with
a
beard
called
with
a
note
for
Godfrey
.
He
had
not
gone
to
bed
,
and
the
note
was
taken
to
his
room
.
Godfrey
read
it
,
and
fell
back
in
a
chair
as
if
he
had
been
pole
-
axed
.
The
porter
was
so
scared
that
he
was
going
to
fetch
me
,
but
Godfrey
stopped
him
,
had
a
drink
of
water
,
and
pulled
himself
together
.
Then
he
went
downstairs
,
said
a
few
words
to
the
man
who
was
waiting
in
the
hall
,
and
the
two
of
them
went
off
together
.
The
last
that
the
porter
saw
of
them
,
they
were
almost
running
down
the
street
in
the
direction
of
the
Strand
.
This
morning
Godfrey
’
s
room
was
empty
,
his
bed
had
never
been
slept
in
,
and
his
things
were
all
just
as
I
had
seen
them
the
night
before
.
He
had
gone
off
at
a
moment
’
s
notice
with
this
stranger
,
and
no
word
has
come
from
him
since
.
I
don
’
t
believe
he
will
ever
come
back
.
He
was
a
sportsman
,
was
Godfrey
,
down
to
his
marrow
,
and
he
wouldn
’
t
have
stopped
his
training
and
let
in
his
skipper
if
it
were
not
for
some
cause
that
was
too
strong
for
him
.
No
:
I
feel
as
if
he
were
gone
for
good
,
and
we
should
never
see
him
again
.
”
Sherlock
Holmes
listened
with
the
deepest
attention
to
this
singular
narrative
.
