You
are
acquitted
,
Captain
Crocker
.
So
long
as
the
law
does
not
find
some
other
victim
you
are
safe
from
me
.
Come
back
to
this
lady
in
a
year
,
and
may
her
future
and
yours
justify
us
in
the
judgment
which
we
have
pronounced
this
night
!
”
I
had
intended
“
The
Adventure
of
the
Abbey
Grange
”
to
be
the
last
of
those
exploits
of
my
friend
,
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
,
which
I
should
ever
communicate
to
the
public
.
This
resolution
of
mine
was
not
due
to
any
lack
of
material
,
since
I
have
notes
of
many
hundreds
of
cases
to
which
I
have
never
alluded
,
nor
was
it
caused
by
any
waning
interest
on
the
part
of
my
readers
in
the
singular
personality
and
unique
methods
of
this
remarkable
man
.
The
real
reason
lay
in
the
reluctance
which
Mr
.
Holmes
has
shown
to
the
continued
publication
of
his
experiences
.
So
long
as
he
was
in
actual
professional
practice
the
records
of
his
successes
were
of
some
practical
value
to
him
,
but
since
he
has
definitely
retired
from
London
and
betaken
himself
to
study
and
bee
-
farming
on
the
Sussex
Downs
,
notoriety
has
become
hateful
to
him
,
and
he
has
peremptorily
requested
that
his
wishes
in
this
matter
should
be
strictly
observed
.
It
was
only
upon
my
representing
to
him
that
I
had
given
a
promise
that
“
The
Adventure
of
the
Second
Stain
”
should
be
published
when
the
times
were
ripe
,
and
pointing
out
to
him
that
it
is
only
appropriate
that
this
long
series
of
episodes
should
culminate
in
the
most
important
international
case
which
he
has
ever
been
called
upon
to
handle
,
that
I
at
last
succeeded
in
obtaining
his
consent
that
a
carefully
guarded
account
of
the
incident
should
at
last
be
laid
before
the
public
.
If
in
telling
the
story
I
seem
to
be
somewhat
vague
in
certain
details
,
the
public
will
readily
understand
that
there
is
an
excellent
reason
for
my
reticence
.
It
was
,
then
,
in
a
year
,
and
even
in
a
decade
,
that
shall
be
nameless
,
that
upon
one
Tuesday
morning
in
autumn
we
found
two
visitors
of
European
fame
within
the
walls
of
our
humble
room
in
Baker
Street
.
The
one
,
austere
,
high
-
nosed
,
eagle
-
eyed
,
and
dominant
,
was
none
other
than
the
illustrious
Lord
Bellinger
,
twice
Premier
of
Britain
.
The
other
,
dark
,
clear
-
cut
,
and
elegant
,
hardly
yet
of
middle
age
,
and
endowed
with
every
beauty
of
body
and
of
mind
,
was
the
Right
Honourable
Trelawney
Hope
,
Secretary
for
European
Affairs
,
and
the
most
rising
statesman
in
the
country
.
They
sat
side
by
side
upon
our
paper
-
littered
settee
,
and
it
was
easy
to
see
from
their
worn
and
anxious
faces
that
it
was
business
of
the
most
pressing
importance
which
had
brought
them
.
The
Premier
’
s
thin
,
blue
-
veined
hands
were
clasped
tightly
over
the
ivory
head
of
his
umbrella
,
and
his
gaunt
,
ascetic
face
looked
gloomily
from
Holmes
to
me
.
The
European
Secretary
pulled
nervously
at
his
moustache
and
fidgeted
with
the
seals
of
his
watch
-
chain
.
“
When
I
discovered
my
loss
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
which
was
at
eight
o
’
clock
this
morning
,
I
at
once
informed
the
Prime
Minister
.
It
was
at
his
suggestion
that
we
have
both
come
to
you
.
”
“
Have
you
informed
the
police
?
”
“
No
,
sir
,
”
said
the
Prime
Minister
,
with
the
quick
,
decisive
manner
for
which
he
was
famous
.
“
We
have
not
done
so
,
nor
is
it
possible
that
we
should
do
so
.
To
inform
the
police
must
,
in
the
long
run
,
mean
to
inform
the
public
.
This
is
what
we
particularly
desire
to
avoid
.
”
“
And
why
,
sir
?
”
“
Because
the
document
in
question
is
of
such
immense
importance
that
its
publication
might
very
easily
—
I
might
almost
say
probably
—
lead
to
European
complications
of
the
utmost
moment
.
It
is
not
too
much
to
say
that
peace
or
war
may
hang
upon
the
issue
.
Unless
its
recovery
can
be
attended
with
the
utmost
secrecy
,
then
it
may
as
well
not
be
recovered
at
all
,
for
all
that
is
aimed
at
by
those
who
have
taken
it
is
that
its
contents
should
be
generally
known
.
”
“
I
understand
.
Now
,
Mr
.
Trelawney
Hope
,
I
should
be
much
obliged
if
you
would
tell
me
exactly
the
circumstances
under
which
this
document
disappeared
.
