I
looked
out
of
the
open
window
.
The
moon
still
shone
brightly
on
that
angle
of
the
house
.
We
were
a
good
sixty
feet
from
the
ground
,
and
,
look
where
I
would
,
I
could
see
no
foothold
,
nor
as
much
as
a
crevice
in
the
brick
-
work
.
272
It
is
absolutely
impossible
,
I
answered
.
273
Without
aid
it
is
so
.
But
suppose
you
had
a
friend
up
here
who
lowered
you
this
good
stout
rope
which
I
see
in
the
corner
,
securing
one
end
of
it
to
this
great
hook
in
the
wall
.
Then
,
I
think
,
if
you
were
an
active
man
,
You
might
swarm
up
,
wooden
leg
and
all
.
You
would
depart
,
of
course
,
in
the
same
fashion
,
and
your
ally
would
draw
up
the
rope
,
untie
it
from
the
hook
,
shut
the
window
,
snib
it
on
the
inside
,
and
get
away
in
the
way
that
he
originally
came
.
As
a
minor
point
it
may
be
noted
,
he
continued
,
fingering
the
rope
,
that
our
wooden
-
legged
friend
,
though
a
fair
climber
,
was
not
a
professional
sailor
.
His
hands
were
far
from
horny
.
My
lens
discloses
more
than
one
blood
-
mark
,
especially
towards
the
end
of
the
rope
,
from
which
I
gather
that
he
slipped
down
with
such
velocity
that
he
took
the
skin
off
his
hand
.

This
is
all
very
well
,
said
I
,
but
the
thing
becomes
more
unintelligible
than
ever
.
How
about
this
mysterious
ally
?
How
came
he
into
the
room
?
275
Yes
,
the
ally
!
repeated
Holmes
,
pensively
.
There
are
features
of
interest
about
this
ally
.
He
lifts
the
case
from
the
regions
of
the
commonplace
.
I
fancy
that
this
ally
breaks
fresh
ground
in
the
annals
of
crime
in
this
country
,
though
parallel
cases
suggest
themselves
from
India
,
and
,
if
my
memory
serves
me
,
from
Senegambia
.
276
277
How
came
he
,
then
?
I
reiterated
.
The
door
is
locked
,
the
window
is
inaccessible
.
Was
it
through
the
chimney
?

278
The
grate
is
much
too
small
,
he
answered
.
I
had
already
considered
that
possibility
.
279
How
then
?
I
persisted
.
280
You
will
not
apply
my
precept
,
he
said
,
shaking
his
head
.
How
often
have
I
said
to
you
that
when
you
have
eliminated
the
impossible
whatever
remains
,
however
improbable
,
must
be
the
truth
?
We
know
that
he
did
not
come
through
the
door
,
the
window
,
or
the
chimney
.
We
also
know
that
he
could
not
have
been
concealed
in
the
room
,
as
there
is
no
concealment
possible
.
Whence
,
then
,
did
he
come
?
