It
was
amusing
to
me
to
see
how
the
detective
’
s
overbearing
manner
had
changed
suddenly
to
that
of
a
child
asking
questions
of
its
teacher
.
“
Well
,
I
don
’
t
think
that
is
very
hard
to
explain
.
A
very
deep
,
malicious
,
vindictive
person
is
the
gentleman
who
is
now
waiting
us
downstairs
.
You
know
that
he
was
once
refused
by
McFarlane
’
s
mother
?
You
don
’
t
!
I
told
you
that
you
should
go
to
Blackheath
first
and
Norwood
afterwards
.
Well
,
this
injury
,
as
he
would
consider
it
,
has
rankled
in
his
wicked
,
scheming
brain
,
and
all
his
life
he
has
longed
for
vengeance
,
but
never
seen
his
chance
.
During
the
last
year
or
two
,
things
have
gone
against
him
—
secret
speculation
,
I
think
—
and
he
finds
himself
in
a
bad
way
.
He
determines
to
swindle
his
creditors
,
and
for
this
purpose
he
pays
large
checks
to
a
certain
Mr
.
Cornelius
,
who
is
,
I
imagine
,
himself
under
another
name
.
I
have
not
traced
these
checks
yet
,
but
I
have
no
doubt
that
they
were
banked
under
that
name
at
some
provincial
town
where
Oldacre
from
time
to
time
led
a
double
existence
.
He
intended
to
change
his
name
altogether
,
draw
this
money
,
and
vanish
,
starting
life
again
elsewhere
.
”
“
Well
,
that
’
s
likely
enough
.
”
“
It
would
strike
him
that
in
disappearing
he
might
throw
all
pursuit
off
his
track
,
and
at
the
same
time
have
an
ample
and
crushing
revenge
upon
his
old
sweetheart
,
if
he
could
give
the
impression
that
he
had
been
murdered
by
her
only
child
.
It
was
a
masterpiece
of
villainy
,
and
he
carried
it
out
like
a
master
.
The
idea
of
the
will
,
which
would
give
an
obvious
motive
for
the
crime
,
the
secret
visit
unknown
to
his
own
parents
,
the
retention
of
the
stick
,
the
blood
,
and
the
animal
remains
and
buttons
in
the
wood
-
pile
,
all
were
admirable
.
It
was
a
net
from
which
it
seemed
to
me
,
a
few
hours
ago
,
that
there
was
no
possible
escape
.
But
he
had
not
that
supreme
gift
of
the
artist
,
the
knowledge
of
when
to
stop
.
He
wished
to
improve
that
which
was
already
perfect
—
to
draw
the
rope
tighter
yet
round
the
neck
of
his
unfortunate
victim
—
and
so
he
ruined
all
.
Let
us
descend
,
Lestrade
.
There
are
just
one
or
two
questions
that
I
would
ask
him
.
”
The
malignant
creature
was
seated
in
his
own
parlour
,
with
a
policeman
upon
each
side
of
him
.
“
It
was
a
joke
,
my
good
sir
—
a
practical
joke
,
nothing
more
,
”
he
whined
incessantly
“
I
assure
you
,
sir
,
that
I
simply
concealed
myself
in
order
to
see
the
effect
of
my
disappearance
,
and
I
am
sure
that
you
would
not
be
so
unjust
as
to
imagine
that
I
would
have
allowed
any
harm
to
befall
poor
young
Mr
.
McFarlane
.
”
“
That
’
s
for
a
jury
to
decide
,
”
said
Lestrade
.
“
Anyhow
,
we
shall
have
you
on
a
charge
of
conspiracy
,
if
not
for
attempted
murder
.
”
“
And
you
’
ll
probably
find
that
your
creditors
will
impound
the
banking
account
of
Mr
.
Cornelius
,
”
said
Holmes
.
