"
One
moment
,
"
he
said
,
"
before
we
bring
a
stranger
on
the
scene
.
It
must
be
borne
in
mind
that
he
is
not
to
know
what
you
know
now
,
that
the
lamps
were
the
objects
of
a
prolonged
and
difficult
and
dangerous
search
.
All
I
can
tell
him
,
all
that
he
must
know
from
any
source
,
is
that
some
of
my
property
has
been
stolen
I
must
describe
some
of
the
lamps
,
especially
one
,
for
it
is
of
gold
;
and
my
fear
is
lest
the
thief
,
ignorant
of
its
historic
worth
,
may
,
in
order
to
cover
up
his
crime
,
have
it
melted
.
I
would
willingly
pay
ten
,
twenty
,
a
hundred
,
a
thousand
times
its
intrinsic
value
rather
than
have
it
destroyed
.
I
shall
tell
him
only
what
is
necessary
.
So
,
please
,
let
me
answer
any
questions
he
may
ask
;
unless
,
of
course
,
I
ask
you
or
refer
to
either
of
you
for
the
answer
.
"
We
both
nodded
acquiescence
.
Then
a
thought
struck
me
and
I
said
:
"
By
the
way
,
if
it
be
necessary
to
keep
this
matter
quiet
it
will
be
better
to
have
it
if
possible
a
private
job
for
the
Detective
.
If
once
a
thing
gets
to
Scotland
Yard
it
is
out
of
our
power
to
keep
it
quiet
,
and
further
secrecy
may
be
impossible
.
I
shall
sound
Sergeant
Daw
before
he
comes
up
.
If
I
say
nothing
,
it
will
mean
that
he
accepts
the
task
and
will
deal
with
it
privately
.
"
Mr.
Corbeck
answered
at
once
:
"
Secrecy
is
everything
.
The
one
thing
I
dread
is
that
the
lamps
,
or
some
of
them
,
may
be
destroyed
at
once
.
"
To
my
intense
astonishment
Miss
Trelawny
spoke
out
at
once
,
but
quietly
,
in
a
decided
voice
:
"
They
will
not
be
destroyed
;
nor
any
of
them
!
"
Mr.
Corbeck
actually
smiled
in
amazement
.
"
How
on
earth
do
you
know
?
"
he
asked
.
Her
answer
was
still
more
incomprehensible
:
"
I
do
n't
know
how
I
know
it
;
but
know
it
I
do
.
I
feel
it
all
through
me
;
as
though
it
were
a
conviction
which
has
been
with
me
all
my
life
!
"
Sergeant
Daw
at
first
made
some
demur
;
but
finally
agreed
to
advise
privately
on
a
matter
which
might
be
suggested
to
him
.
He
added
that
I
was
to
remember
that
he
only
undertook
to
advise
;
for
if
action
were
required
he
might
have
to
refer
the
matter
to
headquarters
.
With
this
understanding
I
left
him
in
the
study
,
and
brought
Miss
Trelawny
and
Mr.
Corbeck
to
him
.
Nurse
Kennedy
resumed
her
place
at
the
bedside
before
we
left
the
room
.
I
could
not
but
admire
the
cautious
,
cool-headed
precision
with
which
the
traveller
stated
his
case
.
He
did
not
seem
to
conceal
anything
,
and
yet
he
gave
the
least
possible
description
of
the
objects
missing
.
He
did
not
enlarge
on
the
mystery
of
the
case
;
he
seemed
to
look
on
it
as
an
ordinary
hotel
theft
.
Knowing
,
as
I
did
,
that
his
one
object
was
to
recover
the
articles
before
their
identity
could
be
obliterated
,
I
could
see
the
rare
intellectual
skill
with
which
he
gave
the
necessary
matter
and
held
back
all
else
,
though
without
seeming
to
do
so
.
"
Truly
,
"
thought
I
,
"
this
man
has
learned
the
lesson
of
the
Eastern
bazaars
;
and
with
Western
intellect
has
improved
upon
his
masters
!
"
He
quite
conveyed
his
idea
to
the
Detective
,
who
,
after
thinking
the
matter
over
for
a
few
moments
,
said
:
"
Pot
or
scale
?
that
is
the
question
.
"
