In
reaching
the
door
he
would
have
to
pass
seven
bedrooms
.
On
the
other
hand
,
he
could
get
out
on
to
the
lawn
,
with
ease
,
Anything
else
?
"
"
You
do
not
think
,
"
asked
Phelps
,
"
that
he
had
any
murderous
intention
?
The
knife
was
only
meant
as
a
tool
.
"
"
li
may
be
so
,
"
answered
Holmes
,
shrugging
his
shoulders
.
"
I
can
only
say
for
certain
that
Mr.
Joseph
Harrison
is
a
gentleman
to
whose
mercy
I
should
be
extremely
unwilling
to
trust
.

It
is
with
a
heavy
heart
that
I
take
up
my
pen
to
write
these
the
last
words
in
which
I
shall
ever
record
the
singular
gifts
by
which
my
friend
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes
was
distinguished
.
In
an
incoherent
and
,
as
I
deeply
feel
,
an
entirely
inadequate
fashion
,
I
have
endeavoured
to
give
some
account
of
my
strange
experiences
in
his
company
from
the
chance
which
first
brought
us
together
at
the
period
of
the
"
Study
in
Scarlet
,
"
up
to
the
time
of
his
interference
in
the
matter
of
the
"
Naval
Treaty
"
--
an
interference
which
had
the
unquestionable
effect
of
preventing
a
serious
international
complication
.
It
was
my
intention
to
have
stopped
there
,
and
to
have
said
nothing
of
that
event
which
has
created
a
void
in
my
life
which
the
lapse
of
two
years
has
done
little
to
fill
.
My
hand
has
been
forced
,
however
,
by
the
recent
letters
in
which
Colonel
James
Moriarty
defends
the
memory
of
his
brother
,
and
I
have
no
choice
but
to
lay
the
facts
before
the
public
exactly
as
they
occurred
.
I
alone
know
the
absolute
truth
of
the
matter
,
and
I
am
satisfied
that
the
time
has
come
when
no
good
purpose
is
to
be
served
by
its
suppression
.
As
far
as
I
know
,
there
have
been
only
three
accounts
in
the
public
press
:
that
in
the
Journal
de
Geneve
on
May
6th
,
1891
,
the
Reuter
's
dispatch
in
the
English
papers
on
May
7th
,
and
finally
the
recent
letters
to
which
I
have
alluded
.
Of
these
the
first
and
second
were
extremely
condensed
,
while
the
last
is
,
as
I
shall
now
show
,
an
absolute
perversion
of
the
facts
.
It
lies
with
me
to
tell
for
the
first
time
what
really
took
place
between
Professor
Moriarty
and
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes
.
It
may
be
remembered
that
after
my
marriage
,
and
my
subsequent
start
in
private
practice
,
the
very
intimate
relations
which
had
existed
between
Holmes
and
myself
became
to
some
extent
modified
.
He
still
came
to
me
from
time
to
time
when
he
desired
a
companion
in
his
investigations
,
but
these
occasions
grew
more
and
more
seldom
,
until
I
find
that
in
the
year
1890
there
were
only
three
cases
of
which
I
retain
any
record
.
During
the
winter
of
that
year
and
the
early
spring
of
1891
,
I
saw
in
the
papers
that
he
had
been
engaged
by
the
French
government
upon
a
matter
of
supreme
importance
,
and
I
received
two
notes
from
Holmes
,
dated
from
Narbonne
and
from
Nimes
,
from
which
I
gathered
that
his
stay
in
France
was
likely
to
be
a
long
one
.
It
was
with
some
surprise
,
therefore
,
that
I
saw
him
walk
into
my
consulting-room
upon
the
evening
of
April
24th
.
It
struck
me
that
he
was
looking
even
paler
and
thinner
than
usual
.
"
Yes
,
I
have
been
using
myself
up
rather
too
freely
,
"
he
remarked
,
in
answer
to
my
look
rather
than
to
my
words
;
"
I
have
been
a
little
pressed
of
late
.
Have
you
any
objection
to
my
closing
your
shutters
?

The
only
light
in
the
room
came
from
the
lamp
upon
the
table
at
which
I
had
been
reading
.
Holmes
edged
his
way
round
the
wall
,
and
,
flinging
the
shutters
together
,
he
bolted
them
securely
.
"
You
are
afraid
of
something
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Well
,
I
am
.
