That
is
a
State
secret
of
the
utmost
importance
,
and
I
fear
that
I
cannot
tell
you
,
nor
do
I
see
that
it
is
necessary
.
If
by
the
aid
of
the
powers
which
you
are
said
to
possess
you
can
find
such
an
envelope
as
I
describe
with
its
enclosure
,
you
will
have
deserved
well
of
your
country
,
and
earned
any
reward
which
it
lies
in
our
power
to
bestow
.
”
Sherlock
Holmes
rose
with
a
smile
.
“
You
are
two
of
the
most
busy
men
in
the
country
,
”
said
he
,
“
and
in
my
own
small
way
I
have
also
a
good
many
calls
upon
me
.
I
regret
exceedingly
that
I
cannot
help
you
in
this
matter
,
and
any
continuation
of
this
interview
would
be
a
waste
of
time
.
”
The
Premier
sprang
to
his
feet
with
that
quick
,
fierce
gleam
of
his
deep
-
set
eyes
before
which
a
Cabinet
has
cowered
.
“
I
am
not
accustomed
,
sir
,
”
he
began
,
but
mastered
his
anger
and
resumed
his
seat
.
For
a
minute
or
more
we
all
sat
in
silence
.
Then
the
old
statesman
shrugged
his
shoulders
.
“
We
must
accept
your
terms
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
No
doubt
you
are
right
,
and
it
is
unreasonable
for
us
to
expect
you
to
act
unless
we
give
you
our
entire
confidence
.
”
“
I
agree
with
you
,
”
said
the
younger
statesman
.
“
Then
I
will
tell
you
,
relying
entirely
upon
your
honour
and
that
of
your
colleague
,
Dr
.
Watson
.
I
may
appeal
to
your
patriotism
also
,
for
I
could
not
imagine
a
greater
misfortune
for
the
country
than
that
this
affair
should
come
out
.
”
“
You
may
safely
trust
us
.
”
“
The
letter
,
then
,
is
from
a
certain
foreign
potentate
who
has
been
ruffled
by
some
recent
Colonial
developments
of
this
country
.
It
has
been
written
hurriedly
and
upon
his
own
responsibility
entirely
.
Inquiries
have
shown
that
his
Ministers
know
nothing
of
the
matter
.
At
the
same
time
it
is
couched
in
so
unfortunate
a
manner
,
and
certain
phrases
in
it
are
of
so
provocative
a
character
,
that
its
publication
would
undoubtedly
lead
to
a
most
dangerous
state
of
feeling
in
this
country
.
There
would
be
such
a
ferment
,
sir
,
that
I
do
not
hesitate
to
say
that
within
a
week
of
the
publication
of
that
letter
this
country
would
be
involved
in
a
great
war
.
