Hopkins
pointed
to
a
half
-
opened
drawer
.
In
it
lay
some
table
linen
and
a
large
corkscrew
.
Did
Lady
Brackenstall
say
that
screw
was
used
?
No
,
you
remember
that
she
was
senseless
at
the
moment
when
the
bottle
was
opened
.

Quite
so
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
that
screw
was
not
used
.
This
bottle
was
opened
by
a
pocket
screw
,
probably
contained
in
a
knife
,
and
not
more
than
an
inch
and
a
half
long
.
If
you
will
examine
the
top
of
the
cork
,
you
will
observe
that
the
screw
was
driven
in
three
times
before
the
cork
was
extracted
.
It
has
never
been
transfixed
.
This
long
screw
would
have
transfixed
it
and
drawn
it
up
with
a
single
pull
.
When
you
catch
this
fellow
,
you
will
find
that
he
has
one
of
these
multiplex
knives
in
his
possession
.
Excellent
!
said
Hopkins
.
But
these
glasses
do
puzzle
me
,
I
confess
.
Lady
Brackenstall
actually
saw
the
three
men
drinking
,
did
she
not
?
Отключить рекламу
Yes
;
she
was
clear
about
that
.
Then
there
is
an
end
of
it
.
What
more
is
to
be
said
?
And
yet
,
you
must
admit
,
that
the
three
glasses
are
very
remarkable
,
Hopkins
.
What
?
You
see
nothing
remarkable
?
Well
,
well
,
let
it
pass
.
Perhaps
,
when
a
man
has
special
knowledge
and
special
powers
like
my
own
,
it
rather
encourages
him
to
seek
a
complex
explanation
when
a
simpler
one
is
at
hand
.
Of
course
,
it
must
be
a
mere
chance
about
the
glasses
.
Well
,
good
-
morning
,
Hopkins
.
I
don
t
see
that
I
can
be
of
any
use
to
you
,
and
you
appear
to
have
your
case
very
clear
.
You
will
let
me
know
when
Randall
is
arrested
,
and
any
further
developments
which
may
occur
.
I
trust
that
I
shall
soon
have
to
congratulate
you
upon
a
successful
conclusion
.
Come
,
Watson
,
I
fancy
that
we
may
employ
ourselves
more
profitably
at
home
.
During
our
return
journey
,
I
could
see
by
Holmes
s
face
that
he
was
much
puzzled
by
something
which
he
had
observed
.
Every
now
and
then
,
by
an
effort
,
he
would
throw
off
the
impression
,
and
talk
as
if
the
matter
were
clear
,
but
then
his
doubts
would
settle
down
upon
him
again
,
and
his
knitted
brows
and
abstracted
eyes
would
show
that
his
thoughts
had
gone
back
once
more
to
the
great
dining
-
room
of
the
Abbey
Grange
,
in
which
this
midnight
tragedy
had
been
enacted
.
