“
I
never
should
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
But
my
wife
does
.
It
is
frightening
her
to
death
.
She
says
nothing
,
but
I
can
see
terror
in
her
eyes
.
That
’
s
why
I
want
to
sift
the
matter
to
the
bottom
.
”
Holmes
held
up
the
paper
so
that
the
sunlight
shone
full
upon
it
.
It
was
a
page
torn
from
a
notebook
.
The
markings
were
done
in
pencil
,
and
ran
in
this
way
:
Holmes
examined
it
for
some
time
,
and
then
,
folding
it
carefully
up
,
he
placed
it
in
his
pocketbook
.
“
This
promises
to
be
a
most
interesting
and
unusual
case
,
”
said
he
.
“
You
gave
me
a
few
particulars
in
your
letter
,
Mr
.
Hilton
Cubitt
,
but
I
should
be
very
much
obliged
if
you
would
kindly
go
over
it
all
again
for
the
benefit
of
my
friend
,
Dr
.
Watson
.
”
“
I
’
m
not
much
of
a
story
-
teller
,
”
said
our
visitor
,
nervously
clasping
and
unclasping
his
great
,
strong
hands
.
“
You
’
ll
just
ask
me
anything
that
I
don
’
t
make
clear
.
I
’
ll
begin
at
the
time
of
my
marriage
last
year
,
but
I
want
to
say
first
of
all
that
,
though
I
’
m
not
a
rich
man
,
my
people
have
been
at
Riding
Thorpe
for
a
matter
of
five
centuries
,
and
there
is
no
better
known
family
in
the
County
of
Norfolk
.
Last
year
I
came
up
to
London
for
the
Jubilee
,
and
I
stopped
at
a
boarding
-
house
in
Russell
Square
,
because
Parker
,
the
vicar
of
our
parish
,
was
staying
in
it
.
There
was
an
American
young
lady
there
—
Patrick
was
the
name
—
Elsie
Patrick
.
In
some
way
we
became
friends
,
until
before
my
month
was
up
I
was
as
much
in
love
as
a
man
could
be
.
We
were
quietly
married
at
a
registry
office
,
and
we
returned
to
Norfolk
a
wedded
couple
.
You
’
ll
think
it
very
mad
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
a
man
of
a
good
old
family
should
marry
a
wife
in
this
fashion
,
knowing
nothing
of
her
past
or
of
her
people
,
but
if
you
saw
her
and
knew
her
,
it
would
help
you
to
understand
.
“
She
was
very
straight
about
it
,
was
Elsie
.
I
can
’
t
say
that
she
did
not
give
me
every
chance
of
getting
out
of
it
if
I
wished
to
do
so
.
‘
I
have
had
some
very
disagreeable
associations
in
my
life
,
’
said
she
,
‘
I
wish
to
forget
all
about
them
.
I
would
rather
never
allude
to
the
past
,
for
it
is
very
painful
to
me
.
If
you
take
me
,
Hilton
,
you
will
take
a
woman
who
has
nothing
that
she
need
be
personally
ashamed
of
,
but
you
will
have
to
be
content
with
my
word
for
it
,
and
to
allow
me
to
be
silent
as
to
all
that
passed
up
to
the
time
when
I
became
yours
.
If
these
conditions
are
too
hard
,
then
go
back
to
Norfolk
,
and
leave
me
to
the
lonely
life
in
which
you
found
me
.
’
It
was
only
the
day
before
our
wedding
that
she
said
those
very
words
to
me
.
I
told
her
that
I
was
content
to
take
her
on
her
own
terms
,
and
I
have
been
as
good
as
my
word
.
“
Well
we
have
been
married
now
for
a
year
,
and
very
happy
we
have
been
.
But
about
a
month
ago
,
at
the
end
of
June
,
I
saw
for
the
first
time
signs
of
trouble
.
One
day
my
wife
received
a
letter
from
America
.
I
saw
the
American
stamp
.
She
turned
deadly
white
,
read
the
letter
,
and
threw
it
into
the
fire
.
She
made
no
allusion
to
it
afterwards
,
and
I
made
none
,
for
a
promise
is
a
promise
,
but
she
has
never
known
an
easy
hour
from
that
moment
.
There
is
always
a
look
of
fear
upon
her
face
—
a
look
as
if
she
were
waiting
and
expecting
.
She
would
do
better
to
trust
me
.
She
would
find
that
I
was
her
best
friend
.
But
until
she
speaks
,
I
can
say
nothing
.
Mind
you
,
she
is
a
truthful
woman
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
and
whatever
trouble
there
may
have
been
in
her
past
life
it
has
been
no
fault
of
hers
.
I
am
only
a
simple
Norfolk
squire
,
but
there
is
not
a
man
in
England
who
ranks
his
family
honour
more
highly
than
I
do
.
She
knows
it
well
,
and
she
knew
it
well
before
she
married
me
.
She
would
never
bring
any
stain
upon
it
—
of
that
I
am
sure
.
“
Well
,
now
I
come
to
the
queer
part
of
my
story
.
