We
had
tried
to
keep
it
out
of
the
papers
,
but
there
was
some
rumour
in
the
Globe
last
night
.
I
thought
it
might
have
reached
your
ears

Holmes
shot
out
his
long
,
thin
arm

picked
out

The
greatest
and
perhaps
the
wealthiest
.
I
am
aware
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
that
you
take
a
very
high
line
in
professional
matters
,
and
that
you
are
prepared
to
work
for
the
work
’
s
sake
.
I
may
tell
you
,
however
,
that
his
Grace
has
already
intimated
that
a
check
for
five
thousand
pounds
will
be
handed
over
to
the
person
who
can
tell
him
where
his
son
is
,
and
another
thousand
to
him
who
can
name
the
man
or
men
who
have
taken
him
.
”
“
It
is
a
princely
offer
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
Watson
,
I
think
that
we
shall
accompany
Dr
.
Huxtable
back
to
the
north
of
England
.
And
now
,
Dr
.
Huxtable
,
when
you
have
consumed
that
milk
,
you
will
kindly
tell
me
what
has
happened
,
when
it
happened
,
how
it
happened
,
and
,
finally
,
what
Dr
.
Thorneycroft
Huxtable
,
of
the
Priory
School
,
near
Mackleton
,
has
to
do
with
the
matter
,
and
why
he
comes
three
days
after
an
event
—
the
state
of
your
chin
gives
the
date
—
to
ask
for
my
humble
services
.
”
Our
visitor
had
consumed
his
milk
and
biscuits
.
The
light
had
come
back
to
his
eyes
and
the
colour
to
his
cheeks
,
as
he
set
himself
with
great
vigour
and
lucidity
to
explain
the
situation
.
“
I
must
inform
you
,
gentlemen
,
that
the
Priory
is
a
preparatory
school
,
of
which
I
am
the
founder
and
principal
.
Huxtable
’
s
Sidelights
on
Horace
may
possibly
recall
my
name
to
your
memories
.
The
Priory
is
,
without
exception
,
the
best
and
most
select
preparatory
school
in
England
.
Lord
Leverstoke
,
the
Earl
of
Blackwater
,
Sir
Cathcart
Soames
—
they
all
have
intrusted
their
sons
to
me
.
But
I
felt
that
my
school
had
reached
its
zenith
when
,
weeks
ago
,
the
Duke
of
Holdernesse
sent
Mr
.
James
Wilder
,
his
secretary
,
with
intimation
that
young
Lord
Saltire
,
ten
years
old
,
his
only
son
and
heir
,
was
about
to
be
committed
to
my
charge
.
Little
did
I
think
that
this
would
be
the
prelude
to
the
most
crushing
misfortune
of
my
life
.
“
On
May
1st
the
boy
arrived
,
that
being
the
beginning
of
the
summer
term
.
He
was
a
charming
youth
,
and
he
soon
fell
into
our
ways
.
I
may
tell
you
—
I
trust
that
I
am
not
indiscreet
,
but
half
-
confidences
are
absurd
in
such
a
case
—
that
he
was
not
entirely
happy
at
home
.
It
is
an
open
secret
that
the
Duke
’
s
married
life
had
not
been
a
peaceful
one
,
and
the
matter
had
ended
in
a
separation
by
mutual
consent
,
the
Duchess
taking
up
her
residence
in
the
south
of
France
.
This
had
occurred
very
shortly
before
,
and
the
boy
’
s
sympathies
are
known
to
have
been
strongly
with
his
mother
.
He
moped
after
her
departure
from
Holdernesse
Hall
,
and
it
was
for
this
reason
that
the
Duke
desired
to
send
him
to
my
establishment
.
