Here
you
are
,
doggy
!
Good
old
Toby
!
Smell
it
,
Toby
,
smell
it
!
”
He
pushed
the
creasote
handkerchief
under
the
dog
’
s
nose
,
while
the
creature
stood
with
its
fluffy
legs
separated
,
and
with
a
most
comical
cock
to
its
head
,
like
a
connoisseur
sniffing
the
bouquet
of
a
famous
vintage
.
Holmes
then
threw
the
handkerchief
to
a
distance
,
fastened
a
stout
cord
to
the
mongrel
’
s
collar
,
and
led
him
to
the
foot
of
the
water
-
barrel
.
The
creature
instantly
broke
into
a
succession
of
high
,
tremulous
yelps
,
and
,
with
his
nose
on
the
ground
,
and
his
tail
in
the
air
,
pattered
off
upon
the
trail
at
a
pace
which
strained
his
leash
and
kept
us
at
the
top
of
our
speed
.
The
east
had
been
gradually
whitening
,
and
we
could
now
see
some
distance
in
the
cold
grey
light
.
The
square
,
massive
house
,
with
its
black
,
empty
windows
and
high
,
bare
walls
,
towered
up
,
sad
and
forlorn
,
behind
us
.
Our
course
led
right
across
the
grounds
,
in
and
out
among
the
trenches
and
pits
with
which
they
were
scarred
and
intersected
.
The
whole
place
,
with
its
scattered
dirt
-
heaps
and
ill
-
grown
shrubs
,
had
a
blighted
,
ill
-
omened
look
which
harmonized
with
the
black
tragedy
which
hung
over
it
.
On
reaching
the
boundary
wall
Toby
ran
along
,
whining
eagerly
,
underneath
its
shadow
,
and
stopped
finally
in
a
corner
screened
by
a
young
beech
.
Where
the
two
walls
joined
,
several
bricks
had
been
loosened
,
and
the
crevices
left
were
worn
down
and
rounded
upon
the
lower
side
,
as
though
they
had
frequently
been
used
as
a
ladder
.
Holmes
clambered
up
,
and
,
taking
the
dog
from
me
,
he
dropped
it
over
upon
the
other
side
.
“
There
’
s
the
print
of
wooden
-
leg
’
s
hand
,
”
he
remarked
,
as
I
mounted
up
beside
him
.
“
You
see
the
slight
smudge
of
blood
upon
the
white
plaster
.
What
a
lucky
thing
it
is
that
we
have
had
no
very
heavy
rain
since
yesterday
!
The
scent
will
lie
upon
the
road
in
spite
of
their
eight
-
and
-
twenty
hours
’
start
.
”
I
confess
that
I
had
my
doubts
myself
when
I
reflected
upon
the
great
traffic
which
had
passed
along
the
London
road
in
the
interval
.
My
fears
were
soon
appeased
,
however
.
Toby
never
hesitated
or
swerved
,
but
waddled
on
in
his
peculiar
rolling
fashion
.
Clearly
,
the
pungent
smell
of
the
creasote
rose
high
above
all
other
contending
scents
.
“
Do
not
imagine
,
”
said
Holmes
,
“
that
I
depend
for
my
success
in
this
case
upon
the
mere
chance
of
one
of
these
fellows
having
put
his
foot
in
the
chemical
.
I
have
knowledge
now
which
would
enable
me
to
trace
them
in
many
different
ways
.
This
,
however
,
is
the
readiest
and
,
since
fortune
has
put
it
into
our
hands
,
I
should
be
culpable
if
I
neglected
it
.
It
has
,
however
,
prevented
the
case
from
becoming
the
pretty
little
intellectual
problem
which
it
at
one
time
promised
to
be
.
There
might
have
been
some
credit
to
be
gained
out
of
it
,
but
for
this
too
palpable
clue
.
”
“
There
is
credit
,
and
to
spare
,
”
said
I
.
“
I
assure
you
,
Holmes
,
that
I
marvel
at
the
means
by
which
you
obtain
your
results
in
this
case
,
even
more
than
I
did
in
the
Jefferson
Hope
Murder
.
The
thing
seems
to
me
to
be
deeper
and
more
inexplicable
.
How
,
for
example
,
could
you
describe
with
such
confidence
the
wooden
-
legged
man
?
”
“
Pshaw
,
my
dear
boy
!
it
was
simplicity
itself
.
I
don
’
t
wish
to
be
theatrical
.
It
is
all
patent
and
above
-
board
.
Two
officers
who
are
in
command
of
a
convict
-
guard
learn
an
important
secret
as
to
buried
treasure
.
A
map
is
drawn
for
them
by
an
Englishman
named
Jonathan
Small
.
You
remember
that
we
saw
the
name
upon
the
chart
in
Captain
Morstan
’
s
possession
.
He
had
signed
it
in
behalf
of
himself
and
his
associates
,
—
the
sign
of
the
four
,
as
he
somewhat
dramatically
called
it
.
