STANLEY
HOPKINS
.
“
Hopkins
has
called
me
in
seven
times
,
and
on
each
occasion
his
summons
has
been
entirely
justified
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
I
fancy
that
every
one
of
his
cases
has
found
its
way
into
your
collection
,
and
I
must
admit
,
Watson
,
that
you
have
some
power
of
selection
,
which
atones
for
much
which
I
deplore
in
your
narratives
.
Your
fatal
habit
of
looking
at
everything
from
the
point
of
view
of
a
story
instead
of
as
a
scientific
exercise
has
ruined
what
might
have
been
an
instructive
and
even
classical
series
of
demonstrations
.
You
slur
over
work
of
the
utmost
finesse
and
delicacy
,
in
order
to
dwell
upon
sensational
details
which
may
excite
,
but
cannot
possibly
instruct
,
the
reader
.
”
“
Why
do
you
not
write
them
yourself
?
”
I
said
,
with
some
bitterness
.
“
I
will
,
my
dear
Watson
,
I
will
.
At
present
I
am
,
as
you
know
,
fairly
busy
,
but
I
propose
to
devote
my
declining
years
to
the
composition
of
a
textbook
,
which
shall
focus
the
whole
art
of
detection
into
one
volume
.
Our
present
research
appears
to
be
a
case
of
murder
.
”
“
You
think
this
Sir
Eustace
is
dead
,
then
?
”
“
I
should
say
so
.
Hopkins
’
s
writing
shows
considerable
agitation
,
and
he
is
not
an
emotional
man
.
Yes
,
I
gather
there
has
been
violence
,
and
that
the
body
is
left
for
our
inspection
.
A
mere
suicide
would
not
have
caused
him
to
send
for
me
.
As
to
the
release
of
the
lady
,
it
would
appear
that
she
has
been
locked
in
her
room
during
the
tragedy
.
We
are
moving
in
high
life
,
Watson

crackling

,

address
.
I
think
that
friend
Hopkins
will
live
up
to
his
reputation
,
and
that
we
shall
have
an
interesting
morning
.
The
crime
was
committed
before
twelve
last
night
.
”
“
How
can
you
possibly
tell
?
”
“
By
an
inspection
of
the
trains
,
and
by
reckoning
the
time
.
The
local
police
had
to
be
called
in
,
they
had
to
communicate
with
Scotland
Yard
,
Hopkins
had
to
go
out
,
and
he
in
turn
had
to
send
for
me
.
All
that
makes
a
fair
night
’
s
work
.
Well
,
here
we
are
at
Chiselhurst
Station
,
and
we
shall
soon
set
our
doubts
at
rest
.
