By

I
don
’
t
think
I
could
rest
until
I
know
more
of
this
fantastic
business
I
have
seen
something
of
the
rough
side
of
life
,
but
I
give
you
my
word
that
this
quick
succession
of
strange
surprises
to
-
night
has
shaken
my
nerve
completely
.
I
should
like
,
however
,
to
see
the
matter
through
with
you
,
now
that
I
have
got
so
far
.
”
“
Your
presence
will
be
of
great
service
to
me
,
”
he
answered
.
“
We
shall
work
the
case
out
independently
,
and
leave
this
fellow
Jones
to
exult
over
any
mare
’
s
-
nest
which
he
may
choose
to
construct
.
When
you
have
dropped
Miss
Morstan
I
wish
you
to
go
on
to

Pinchin

down

Lambeth

Sherman
is
the

You
will
see
a
weasel
holding
a
young
rabbit
in

window

Knock
old
Sherman
up
,
and
tell
him
,
with
my
compliments
,
that
I
want
Toby
at
once

You
will
bring
Toby
back
in
the
cab

you

A

”
“
Yes
,
—
a
queer
mongrel
,
with
a
most
amazing
power
of
scent
.
I
would
rather
have
Toby
’
s
help
than
that
of
the
whole
detective
force
of
London
.
”
“
I
shall
bring
him
,
then

”
said
I
.
“
It
is
one
now
.
I
ought
to
be
back
before
three
,
if
I
can
get
a
fresh
horse

”
“
And
I
,
”
said
Holmes
,
“
shall
see
what
I
can
learn
from
Mrs

Bernstone
,
and
from
the
Indian
servant
,
who
,
Mr
.
Thaddeus
tell
me
,
sleeps
in
the
next
garret
.
Then
I
shall
study
the
great
Jones
’
s
methods
and
listen
to
his
not
too
delicate
sarcasms
.

The
police
had
brought
a
cab
with
them
,
and
in
this
I
escorted
Miss
Morstan
back
to
her
home
.
After
the
angelic
fashion
of
women
,
she
had
borne
trouble
with
a
calm
face
as
long
as
there
was
some
one
weaker
than
herself
to
support
,
and
I
had
found
her
bright
and
placid
by
the
side
of
the
frightened
housekeeper
.
In
the
cab
,
however
,
she
first
turned
faint
,
and
then
burst
into
a
passion
of
weeping
,
—
so
sorely
had
she
been
tried
by
the
adventures
of
the
night
.
She
has
told
me
since
that
she
thought
me
cold
and
distant
upon
that
journey
.
She
little
guessed
the
struggle
within
my
breast
,
or
the
effort
of
self
-
restraint
which
held
me
back
.
My
sympathies
and
my
love
went
out
to
her
,
even
as
my
hand
had
in
the
garden
.
I
felt
that
years
of
the
conventionalities
of
life
could
not
teach
me
to
know
her
sweet
,
brave
nature
as
had
this
one
day
of
strange
experiences
.
Yet
there
were
two
thoughts
which
sealed
the
words
of
affection
upon
my
lips
.
She
was
weak
and
helpless
,
shaken
in
mind
and
nerve
.
It
was
to
take
her
at
a
disadvantage
to
obtrude
love
upon
her
at
such
a
time
.
Worse
still
,
she
was
rich
.
If
Holmes
’
s
researches
were
successful
,
she
would
be
an
heiress
.
Was
it
fair
,
was
it
honourable
,
that
a
half
-
pay
surgeon
should
take
such
advantage
of
an
intimacy
which
chance
had
brought
about
?
Might
she
not
look
upon
me
as
a
mere
vulgar
fortune
-
seeker
?
I
could
not
bear
to
risk
that
such
a
thought
should
cross
her
mind
.
This
Agra
treasure
intervened
like
an
impassable
barrier
between
us
.
It
was
nearly
two
o
’
clock
when
we
reached
Mrs
.
Cecil
Forrester
’
s
.
The
servants
had
retired
hours
ago
,
but
Mrs
.
Forrester
had
been
so
interested
by
the
strange
message
which
Miss
Morstan
had
received
that
she
had
sat
up
in
the
hope
of
her
return
.
She
opened
the
door
herself
,
a
middle
-
aged
,
graceful
woman
,
and
it
gave
me
joy
to
see
how
tenderly
her
arm
stole
round
the
other
’
s
waist
and
how
motherly
was
the
voice
in
which
she
greeted
her
.
She
was
clearly
no
mere
paid
dependant
,
but
an
honoured
friend
.
I
was
introduced
,
and
Mrs
.
Forrester
earnestly
begged
me
to
step
in
and
tell
her
our
adventures
.
I
explained
,
however
,
the
importance
of
my
errand
,
and
promised
faithfully
to
call
and
report
any
progress
which
we
might
make
with
the
case
.
As
we
drove
away
I
stole
a
glance
back
,
and
I
still
seem
to
see
that
little
group
on
the
step
,
the
two
graceful
,
clinging
figures
,
the
half
-
opened
door
,
the
hall
-
light
shining
through
stained
glass
,
the
barometer
,
and
the
bright
stair
-
rods
.
It
was
soothing
to
catch
even
that
passing
glimpse
of
a
tranquil
English
home
in
the
midst
of
the
wild
,
dark
business
which
had
absorbed
us
.
