As
we
had
expected
,
the
telegram
was
soon
followed
by
its
sender
,
and
the
card
of
Mr
.
Cyril
Overton
,
Trinity
College
,
Cambridge
,
announced
the
arrival
of
an
enormous
young
man
,
sixteen
stone
of
solid
bone
and
muscle
,
who
spanned
the
doorway
with
his
broad
shoulders
,
and
looked
from
one
of
us
to
the
other
with
a
comely
face
which
was
haggard
with
anxiety
.
“
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
?
”
My
companion
bowed
.
“
I
’
ve
been
down
to
Scotland
Yard
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
I
saw
Inspector
Stanley
Hopkins
.
He
advised
me
to
come
to
you
.
He
said
the
case
,
so
far
as
he
could
see
,
was
more
in
your
line
than
in
that
of
the
regular
police
.
”
“
Pray
sit
down
and
tell
me
what
is
the
matter
.
”
“
It
’
s
awful
,
Mr
.
Holmes
—
simply
awful
I
wonder
my
hair
isn
’
t
grey
.
Godfrey
Staunton
—
you
’
ve
heard
of
him
,
of
course
?
He
’
s
simply
the
hinge
that
the
whole
team
turns
on
.
I
’
d
rather
spare
two
from
the
pack
,
and
have
Godfrey
for
my
three
-
quarter
line
.
Whether
it
’
s
passing
,
or
tackling
,
or
dribbling
,
there
’
s
no
one
to
touch
him
,
and
then
,
he
’
s
got
the
head
,
and
can
hold
us
all
together
.
What
am
I
to
do
?
That
’
s
what
I
ask
you
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
There
’
s
Moorhouse
,
first
reserve
,
but
he
is
trained
as
a
half
,
and
he
always
edges
right
in
on
to
the
scrum
instead
of
keeping
out
on
the
touchline
.
He
’
s
a
fine
place
-
kick
,
it
’
s
true
,
but
then
he
has
no
judgment
,
and
he
can
’
t
sprint
for
nuts
.
Why
,
Morton
or
Johnson
,
the
Oxford
fliers
,
could
romp
round
him
.
Stevenson
is
fast
enough
,
but
he
couldn
’
t
drop
from
the
twenty
-
five
line
,
and
a
three
-
quarter
who
can
’
t
either
punt
or
drop
isn
’
t
worth
a
place
for
pace
alone
.
No
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
we
are
done
unless
you
can
help
me
to
find
Godfrey
Staunton
.
”
My
friend
had
listened
with
amused
surprise
to
this
long
speech
,
which
was
poured
forth
with
extraordinary
vigour
and
earnestness
,
every
point
being
driven
home
by
the
slapping
of
a
brawny
hand
upon
the
speaker
’
s
knee
.
When
our
visitor
was
silent
Holmes
stretched
out
his
hand
and
took
down
letter
“
S
”
of
his
commonplace
book
.
For
once
he
dug
in
vain
into
that
mine
of
varied
information
.
“
There
is
Arthur
H
.
Staunton
,
the
rising
young
forger
,
”
said
he
,
“
and
there
was
Henry
Staunton
,
whom
I
helped
to
hang
,
but
Godfrey
Staunton
is
a
new
name
to
me
.
”
It
was
our
visitor
’
s
turn
to
look
surprised
.
