No
unusual
thing
for
a
doctor
in
practice
.
”
“
But
Armstrong
is
not
really
a
doctor
in
practice
.
He
is
a
lecturer
and
a
consultant
,
but
he
does
not
care
for
general
practice
,
which
distracts
him
from
his
literary
work
.
Why
,
then
,
does
he
make
these
long
journeys
,
which
must
be
exceedingly
irksome
to
him
,
and
who
is
it
that
he
visits
?

His
coachman

“
My
dear
Watson
,
can
you
doubt
that
it
was
to
him
that
I
first
applied
?
I
do
not
know
whether
it
came
from
his
own
innate
depravity
or
from
the
promptings
of
his
master
,
but
he
was
rude
enough
to
set
a
dog
at
me
.
Neither
dog
nor
man
liked
the
look
of
my
stick
,
however
,
and
the
matter
fell
through
.
Relations
were
strained
after
that
,
and
further
inquiries
out
of
the
question
.
All
that
I
have
learned
I
got
from
a
friendly
native
in
the
yard
of
our
own
inn
.
It
was
he
who
told
me
of
the
doctor
’
s
habits
and
of
his
daily
journey
.
At
that
instant
,
to
give
point
to
his
words
,
the
carriage
came
round
to
the
door
.
”
“
Could
you
not
follow
it
?
”
“
Excellent
,
Watson
!
You
are
scintillating
this
evening
.
The
idea
did
cross
my
mind
.
There
is
,
as
you
may
have
observed
,
a
bicycle
shop
next
to
our
inn
.
Into
this
I
rushed
,
engaged
a
bicycle
,
and
was
able
to
get
started
before
the
carriage
was
quite
out
of
sight
.
I
rapidly
overtook
it
,
and
then
,
keeping
at
a
discreet
distance
of
a
hundred
yards
or
so
,
I
followed
its
lights
until
we
were
clear
of
the
town
.
We
had
got
well
out
on
the
country
road
,
when
a
somewhat
mortifying
incident
occurred
.
The
carriage
stopped
,
the
doctor
alighted
,
walked
swiftly
back
to
where
I
had
also
halted
,
and
told
me
in
an
excellent
sardonic
fashion
that
he
feared
the
road
was
narrow
,
and
that
he
hoped
his
carriage
did
not
impede
the
passage
of
my
bicycle
.
Nothing
could
have
been
more
admirable
than
his
way
of
putting
it
.
I
at
once
rode
past
the
carriage
,
and
,
keeping
to
the
main
road
,
I
went
on
for
a
few
miles
,
and
then
halted
in
a
convenient
place
to
see
if
the
carriage
passed
.
There
was
no
sign
of
it
,
however
,
and
so
it
became
evident
that
it
had
turned
down
one
of
several
side
roads
which
I
had
observed
.
I
rode
back
,
but
again
saw
nothing
of
the
carriage
,
and
now
,
as
you
perceive
,
it
has
returned
after
me
.
Of
course
,
I
had
at
the
outset
no
particular
reason
to
connect
these
journeys
with
the
disappearance
of
Godfrey
Staunton
,
and
was
only
inclined
to
investigate
them
on
the
general
grounds
that
everything
which
concerns
Dr
.
Armstrong
is
at
present
of
interest
to
us
,
but
,
now
that
I
find
he
keeps
so
keen
a
look
-
out
upon
anyone
who
may
follow
him
on
these
excursions
,
the
affair
appears
more
important
,
and
I
shall
not
be
satisfied
until
I
have
made
the
matter
clear
.
”
“
We
can
follow
him
to
-
morrow
.
”
“
Can
we
?
It
is
not
so
easy
as
you
seem
to
think
.
You
are
not
familiar
with
Cambridgeshire
scenery
,
are
you
?
It
does
not
lend
itself
to
concealment
.
All
this
country
that
I
passed
over
to
-
night
is
as
flat
and
clean
as
the
palm
of
your
hand
,
and
the
man
we
are
following
is
no
fool
,
as
he
very
clearly
showed
to
-
night
.
I
have
wired
to
Overton
to
let
us
know
any
fresh
London
developments
at
this
address
,
and
in
the
meantime
we
can
only
concentrate
our
attention
upon
Dr
.
Armstrong
,
whose
name
the
obliging
young
lady
at
the
office
allowed
me
to
read
upon
the
counterfoil
of
Staunton
’
s
urgent
message
.
He
knows
where
the
young
man
is
—
to
that
I
’
ll
swear
,
and
if
he
knows
,
then
it
must
be
our
own
fault
if
we
cannot
manage
to
know
also
.
