May
I
ask
whether
you
have
any
professional
inquiry
on
foot
at
present
?
”
“
None
.
Hence
the
cocaine
.
I
cannot
live
without
brain
-
work
.
What
else
is
there
to
live
for
?
Stand
at
the
window
here
.
Was
ever
such
a
dreary
,
dismal
,
unprofitable
world
?
See
how
the
yellow
fog
swirls
down
the
street
and
drifts
across
the
dun
-
coloured
houses
.
What
could
be
more
hopelessly
prosaic
and
material
?
What
is
the
use
of
having
powers
,
doctor
,
when
one
has
no
field
upon
which
to
exert
them
?
Crime
is
commonplace
,
existence
is
commonplace
,
and
no
qualities
save
those
which
are
commonplace
have
any
function
upon
earth
.
”
I
had
opened
my
mouth
to
reply
to
this
tirade
,
when
with
a
crisp
knock
our
landlady
entered
,
bearing
a
card
upon
the
brass
salver
.
“
A
young
lady
for
you
,
sir
,
”
she
said
,
addressing
my
companion
.
“
Miss
Mary
Morstan
,
”
he
read
.
“
Hum
!
I
have
no
recollection
of
the
name
.
Ask
the
young
lady
to
step
up
,
Mrs
.
Hudson
.
Don
’
t
go
,
doctor
.
I
should
prefer
that
you
remain
.
”
Miss
Morstan
entered
the
room
with
a
firm
step
and
an
outward
composure
of
manner
.
She
was
a
blonde
young
lady
,
small
,
dainty
,
well
gloved
,
and
dressed
in
the
most
perfect
taste
.
There
was
,
however
,
a
plainness
and
simplicity
about
her
costume
which
bore
with
it
a
suggestion
of
limited
means
.
The
dress
was
a
sombre
greyish
beige
,
untrimmed
and
unbraided
,
and
she
wore
a
small
turban
of
the
same
dull
hue
,
relieved
only
by
a
suspicion
of
white
feather
in
the
side
.
Her
face
had
neither
regularity
of
feature
nor
beauty
of
complexion
,
but
her
expression
was
sweet
and
amiable
,
and
her
large
blue
eyes
were
singularly
spiritual
and
sympathetic
.
In
an
experience
of
women
which
extends
over
many
nations
and
three
separate
continents
,
I
have
never
looked
upon
a
face
which
gave
a
clearer
promise
of
a
refined
and
sensitive
nature
.
I
could
not
but
observe
that
as
she
took
the
seat
which
Sherlock
Holmes
placed
for
her
,
her
lip
trembled
,
her
hand
quivered
,
and
she
showed
every
sign
of
intense
inward
agitation
.
“
I
have
come
to
you
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
”
she
said
,
“
because
you
once
enabled
my
employer
,
Mrs
.
Cecil
Forrester
,
to
unravel
a
little
domestic
complication
.
She
was
much
impressed
by
your
kindness
and
skill
.
”
“
Mrs
.
Cecil
Forrester
,
”
he
repeated
thoughtfully
.
“
I
believe
that
I
was
of
some
slight
service
to
her
.
The
case
,
however
,
as
I
remember
it
,
was
a
very
simple
one
.
”
“
She
did
not
think
so
.
But
at
least
you
cannot
say
the
same
of
mine
.
I
can
hardly
imagine
anything
more
strange
,
more
utterly
inexplicable
,
than
the
situation
in
which
I
find
myself
.
”
Holmes
rubbed
his
hands
,
and
his
eyes
glistened
.
