Percy
Phelps
sank
back
in
his
chair
.
"
My
head
whirls
,
"
said
he
.
"
Your
words
have
dazed
me
.
"
"
The
principal
difficulty
in
your
case
,
"
remarked
Holmes
in
his
didactic
fashion
,
"
lay
in
the
fact
of
there
being
too
much
evidence
.
What
was
vital
was
overlaid
and
hidden
by
what
was
irrelevant
.
Of
all
the
facts
which
were
presented
to
us
we
had
to
pick
just
those
which
we
deemed
to
be
essential
,
and
then
piece
them
together
in
their
order
,
so
as
to
reconstruct
this
very
remarkable
chain
of
events
.
I
had
already
begun
to
suspect
Joseph
from
the
fact
that
you
had
intended
to
travel
home
with
him
that
night
,
and
that
therefore
it
was
a
likely
enough
thing
that
he
should
call
for
you
,
knowing
the
Foreign
Office
well
,
upon
his
way
.
When
I
heard
that
someone
had
been
so
anxious
to
get
into
the
bedroom
,
in
which
no
one
but
Joseph
could
have
concealed
anything
--
you
told
us
in
your
narrative
how
you
had
turned
Joseph
out
when
you
arrived
with
the
doctor
--
my
suspicions
all
changed
to
certainties
,
especially
as
the
attempt
was
made
on
the
first
night
upon
which
the
nurse
was
absent
,
showing
that
the
intruder
was
well
acquainted
with
the
ways
of
the
house
.

How
blind
I
have
been
!
"
"
The
facts
of
the
case
,
as
far
as
I
have
worked
them
out
,
are
these
:
This
Joseph
Harrison
entered
the
office
through
the
Charles
Street
door
,
and
knowing
his
way
he
walked
straight
into
your
room
the
instant
after
you
left
it
.
Finding
no
one
there
he
promptly
rang
the
bell
,
and
at
the
instant
that
he
did
so
his
eyes
caught
the
paper
upon
the
table
.
A
glance
showed
him
that
chance
had
put
in
his
way
a
State
document
of
immense
value
,
and
in
an
instant
he
had
thrust
it
into
his
pocket
and
was
gone
.
A
few
minutes
elapsed
,
as
you
remember
,
before
the
sleepy
commissionaire
drew
your
attention
to
the
bell
,
and
those
were
just
enough
to
give
the
thief
time
to
make
his
escape
.
"
He
made
his
way
to
Woking
by
the
first
train
,
and
,
having
examined
his
booty
and
assured
himself
that
it
really
was
of
immense
value
,
he
had
concealed
it
in
what
he
thought
was
a
very
safe
place
,
with
the
intention
of
taking
it
out
again
in
a
day
or
two
,
and
carrying
it
to
the
French
embassy
,
or
wherever
he
thought
that
a
long
price
was
to
be
had
.
Then
came
your
sudden
return
.
He
,
without
a
moment
's
warning
,
was
bundled
out
of
his
room
,
and
from
that
time
onward
there
were
always
at
least
two
of
you
there
to
prevent
him
from
regaining
his
treasure
.
The
situation
to
him
must
have
been
a
maddening
one
.
But
at
last
he
thought
he
saw
his
chance
.
He
tried
to
steal
in
,
but
was
baffled
by
your
wakefulness
.
You
may
remember
that
you
did
not
take
your
usual
draught
that
night
.
"
"
I
remember

"
I
fancy
that
he
had
taken
steps
to
make
that
draught
efficacious
,
and
that
he
quite
relied
upon
your
being
unconscious
.
Of
course
,
I
understood
that
he
would
repeat
the
attempt
whenever
it
could
be
done
with
safety
.
Your
leaving
the
room
gave
him
the
chance
he
wanted
.
I
kept
Miss
Harrison
in
it
all
day
so
that
he
might
not
anticipate
us
.
Then
,
having
given
him
the
idea
that
the
coast
was
clear
,
I
kept
guard
as
I
have
described
.
I
already
knew
that
the
papers
were
probably
in
the
room
,
but
I
had
no
desire
to
rip
up
all
the
planking
and
skirting
in
search
of
them
.
I
let
him
take
them
,
therefore
,
from
the
hiding-place
,
and
so
saved
myself
an
infinity
of
trouble
.
Is
there
any
other
point
which
I
can
make
clear
?
"
"
Why
did
he
try
the
window
on
the
first
occasion
,
"
I
asked
,
"
when
he
might
have
entered
by
the
door
?
