“
It
is
a
pity
he
did
not
write
in
pencil
,
”
said
he
,
throwing
them
down
again
with
a
shrug
of
disappointment
.
“
As
you
have
no
doubt
frequently
observed
,
Watson
,
the
impression
usually
goes
through
—
a
fact
which
has
dissolved
many
a
happy
marriage
.
However
,
I
can
find
no
trace
here
.
I
rejoice
,
however
,
to
perceive
that
he
wrote
with
a
broad
-
pointed
quill
pen
,
and
I
can
hardly
doubt
that
we
will
find
some
impression
upon
this
blotting
-
pad
.
Ah
,
yes
,
surely
this
is
the
very
thing
!
”
He
tore
off
a
strip
of
the
blotting
-
paper
and
turned
towards
us
the
following
hieroglyphic
:
Cyril
Overton
was
much
excited
.
“
Hold
it
to
the
glass
!
”
he
cried
.
“
That
is
unnecessary
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
The
paper
is
thin
,
and
the
reverse
will
give
the
message
.
Here
it
is
.
”
He
turned
it
over
,
and
we
read
:
“
So
that
is
the
tail
end
of
the
telegram
which
Godfrey
Staunton
dispatched
within
a
few
hours
of
his
disappearance
.
There
are
at
least
six
words
of
the
message
which
have
escaped
us
;
but
what
remains
—
‘
Stand
by
us
for
God
’
s
sake
!
’
—
proves
that
this
young
man
saw
a
formidable
danger
which
approached
him
,
and
from
which
someone
else
could
protect
him
.
‘
Us
,
’
mark
you
!
Another
person
was
involved
.
Who
should
it
be
but
the
pale
-
faced
,
bearded
man
,
who
seemed
himself
in
so
nervous
a
state
?
What
,
then
,
is
the
connection
between
Godfrey
Staunton
and
the
bearded
man
?
And
what
is
the
third
source
from
which
each
of
them
sought
for
help
against
pressing
danger
?
Our
inquiry
has
already
narrowed
down
to
that
.
”
“
We
have
only
to
find
to
whom
that
telegram
is
addressed
,
”
I
suggested
.
“
Exactly
,
my
dear
Watson
.
Your
reflection
,
though
profound
,
had
already
crossed
my
mind
.
But
I
daresay
it
may
have
come
to
your
notice
that
,
counterfoil
of
another
man
’
s
message
,
there
may
be
some
disinclination
on
the
part
of
the
officials
to
oblige
you
.
There
is
so
much
red
tape
in
these
matters
.
However
,
I
have
no
doubt
that
with
a
little
delicacy
and
finesse
the
end
may
be
attained
.
Meanwhile
,
I
should
like
in
your
presence
,
Mr
.
Overton
,
to
go
through
these
papers
which
have
been
left
upon
the
table
.
”
There
were
a
number
of
letters
,
bills
,
and
notebooks
,
which
Holmes
turned
over
and
examined
with
quick
,
nervous
fingers
and
darting
,
penetrating
eyes
.
“
Nothing
here
,
”
he
said
,
at
last
.
“
By
the
way
,
I
suppose
your
friend
was
a
healthy
young
fellow
—
nothing
amiss
with
him
?
”
“
Sound
as
a
bell
.
”
