And
yet
the
motives
of
women
are
so
inscrutable
.
You
remember
the
woman
at
Margate
whom
I
suspected
for
the
same
reason
.
No
powder
on
her
nose
—
that
proved
to
be
the
correct
solution
.
How
can
you
build
on
such
a
quicksand
?
Their
most
trivial
action
may
mean
volumes
,
or
their
most
extraordinary
conduct
may
depend
upon
a
hairpin
or
a
curling
tongs
.
Good

You

Yes
,
I
will
while
away
the
morning
at
Godolphin
Street
with
our
friends
of
the
regular
establishment
.
With
Eduardo
Lucas
lies
the
solution
of
our
problem
,
though
I
must
admit
that
I
have
not
an
inkling
as
to
what
form
it
may
take
.
It
is
a
capital
mistake
to
theorize
in
advance
of
the
facts
.
Do
you
stay
on
guard
,
my
good
Watson
,
and
receive
any
fresh
visitors

I

join
you
at
lunch

am
able

All
that
day
and
the
next
and
the
next
Holmes
was
in
a
mood
which
his
friends
would
call
taciturn
,
and
others
morose
.
He
ran
out
and
ran
in
,
smoked
incessantly
,
played
snatches
on
his
violin
,
sank
into
reveries
,
devoured
sandwiches
at
irregular
hours
,
and
hardly
answered
the
casual
questions
which
I
put
to
him
.
It
was
evident
to
me
that
things
were
not
going
well
with
him
or
his
quest
.
He
would
say
nothing
of
the
case
,
and
it
was
from
the
papers
that
I
learned
the
particulars
of
the
inquest
,
and
the
arrest
with
the
subsequent
release
of
John
Mitton
,
the
valet
of
the
deceased
.
The
coroner
’
s
jury
brought
in
the
obvious
Wilful
Murder
,
but
the
parties
remained
as
unknown
as
ever
.
No
motive
was
suggested
.
The
room
was
full
of
articles
of
value
,
but
none
had
been
taken
.
The
dead
man
’
s
papers
had
not
been
tampered
with
.
They
were
carefully
examined
,
and
showed
that
he
was
a
keen
student
of
international
politics
,
an
indefatigable
gossip
,
a
remarkable
linguist
,
and
an
untiring
letter
writer
.
He
had
been
on
intimate
terms
with
the
leading
politicians
of
several
countries
.
But
nothing
sensational
was
discovered
among
the
documents
which
filled
his
drawers
.
As
to
his
relations
with
women
,
they
appeared
to
have
been
promiscuous
but
superficial
.
He
had
many
acquaintances
among
them
,
but
few
friends
,
and
no
one
whom
he
loved
.
His
habits
were
regular
,
his
conduct
inoffensive
.
His
death
was
an
absolute
mystery
and
likely
to
remain
so
.
As
to
the
arrest
of
John
Mitton
,
the
valet
,
it
was
a
council
of
despair
as
an
alternative
to
absolute
inaction
.
But
no
case
could
be
sustained
against
him
.
He
had
visited
friends
in
Hammersmith
that
night
.
The
alibi
was
complete
.
It
is
true
that
he
started
home
at
an
hour
which
should
have
brought
him
to
Westminster
before
the
time
when
the
crime
was
discovered
,
but
his
own
explanation
that
he
had
walked
part
of
the
way
seemed
probable
enough
in
view
of
the
fineness
of
the
night
.
He
had
actually
arrived
at
twelve
o
’
clock
,
and
appeared
to
be
overwhelmed
by
the
unexpected
tragedy
.
He
had
always
been
on
good
terms
with
his
master
.
Several
of
the
dead
man
’
s
possessions
—
notably
a
small
case
of
razors
—
had
been
found
in
the
valet
’
s
boxes
,
but
he
explained
that
they
had
been
presents
from
the
deceased
,
and
the
housekeeper
was
able
to
corroborate
the
story
.
Mitton
had
been
in
Lucas
’
s
employment
for
three
years
.
It
was
noticeable
that
Lucas
did
not
take
Mitton
on
the
Continent
with
him
.
Sometimes
he
visited
Paris
for
three
months
on
end
,
but
Mitton
was
left
in
charge
of
the
Godolphin
Street
house
.
As
to
the
housekeeper
,
she
had
heard
nothing
on
the
night
of
the
crime
.
If
her
master
had
a
visitor
he
had
himself
admitted
him
.
So
for
three
mornings
the
mystery
remained
,
so
far
as
I
could
follow
it
in
the
papers
.
If
Holmes
knew
more
,
he
kept
his
own
counsel
,
but
,
as
he
told
me
that
Inspector
Lestrade
had
taken
him
into
his
confidence
in
the
case
,
I
knew
that
he
was
in
close
touch
with
every
development
.
Upon
the
fourth
day
there
appeared
a
long
telegram
from
Paris
which
seemed
to
solve
the
whole
question
.
A
discovery
has
just
been
made
by
the
Parisian
police
(
said
the
Daily
Telegraph
)
which
raises
the
veil
which
hung
round
the
tragic
fate
of
Mr
.
