Quite
true
,
Watson
.
The
telegram
still
remains
the
only
solid
thing
with
which
we
have
to
deal
,
and
we
must
not
permit
our
attention
to
wander
away
from
it
.
It
is
to
gain
light
upon
the
purpose
of
this
telegram
that
we
are
now
upon
our
way
to
Cambridge
.
The
path
of
our
investigation
is
at
present
obscure
,
but
I
shall
be
very
much
surprised
if
before
evening
we
have
not
cleared
it
up
,
or
made
a
considerable
advance
along
it
.
”
It
was
already
dark
when
we
reached
the
old
university
city
.
Holmes
took
a
cab
at
the
station
and
ordered
the
man
to
drive
to
the
house
of
Dr
.
Leslie
Armstrong
.
A
few
minutes
later
,
we
had
stopped
at
a
large
mansion
in
the
busiest
thoroughfare
.
We
were
shown
in
,
and
after
a
long
wait
were
at
last
admitted
into
the
consulting
-
room
,
where
we
found
the
doctor
seated
behind
his
table
.
It
argues
the
degree
in
which
I
had
lost
touch
with
my
profession
that
the
name
of
Leslie
Armstrong
was
unknown
to
me
.
Now
I
am
aware
that
he
is
not
only
one
of
the
heads
of
the
medical
school
of
the
university
,
but
a
thinker
of
European
reputation
in
more
than
one
branch
of
science
.
Yet
even
without
knowing
his
brilliant
record
one
could
not
fail
to
be
impressed
by
a
mere
glance
at
the
man
,
the
square
,
massive
face
,
the
brooding
eyes
under
the
thatched
brows
,
and
the
granite
moulding
of
the
inflexible
jaw
.
A
man
of
deep
character
,
a
man
with
an
alert
mind
,
grim
,
ascetic
,
self
-
contained
,
formidable
—
so
I
read
Dr
.
Leslie
Armstrong
.
He
held
my
friend
’
s
card
in
his
hand
,
and
he
looked
up
with
no
very
pleased
expression
upon
his
dour
features
.
“
I
have
heard
your
name
,
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
,
and
I
am
aware
of
your
profession
—
one
of
which
I
by
no
means
approve
.
”
“
In
that
,
Doctor
,
you
will
find
yourself
in
agreement
with
every
criminal
in
the
country
,
”
said
my
friend
,
quietly
.
“
So
far
as
your
efforts
are
directed
towards
the
suppression
of
crime
,
sir
,
they
must
have
the
support
of
every
reasonable
member
of
the
community
,
though
I
cannot
doubt
that
the
official
machinery
is
amply
sufficient
for
the
purpose
.
Where
your
calling
is
more
open
to
criticism
is
when
you
pry
into
the
secrets
of
private
individuals
,
when
you
rake
up
family
matters
which
are
better
hidden
,
and
when
you
incidentally
waste
the
time
of
men
who
are
more
busy
than
yourself
.
At
the
present
moment
,
for
example
,
I
should
be
writing
a
treatise
instead
of
conversing
with
you
.
”
“
No
doubt
,
Doctor
;
and
yet
the
conversation
may
prove
more
important
than
the
treatise
.
Incidentally
,
I
may
tell
you
that
we
are
doing
the
reverse
of
what
you
very
justly
blame
,
and
that
we
are
endeavouring
to
prevent
anything
like
public
exposure
of
private
matters
which
must
necessarily
follow
when
once
the
case
is
fairly
in
the
hands
of
the
official
police
.
You
may
look
upon
me
simply
as
an
irregular
pioneer
,
who
goes
in
front
of
the
regular
forces
of
the
country
.
I
have
come
to
ask
you
about
Mr
.
Godfrey
Staunton
.
”
“
What
about
him
?
”
