At
last
,
by
a
sudden
impulse
,
just
as
our
train
was
crawling
out
of
a
suburban
station
,
he
sprang
on
to
the
platform
and
pulled
me
out
after
him
.
Excuse
me
,
my
dear
fellow
,
said
he
,
as
we
watched
the
rear
carriages
of
our
train
disappearing
round
a
curve
,
I
am
sorry
to
make
you
the
victim
of
what
may
seem
a
mere
whim
,
but
on
my
life
,
Watson
,
I
simply
can
t
leave
that
case
in
this
condition
.
Every
instinct
that
I
possess
cries
out
against
it
.
It
s
wrong
it
s
all
wrong
I
ll
swear
that
it
s
wrong
.
And
yet
the
lady
s
story
was
complete
,
the
maid
s
corroboration
was
sufficient
,
the
detail
was
fairly
exact
.
What
have
I
to
put
up
against
that
?
Three
wine
-
glasses
,
that
is
all
.
But
if
I
had
not
taken
things
for
granted
,
if
I
had
examined
everything
with
the
care
which
I
should
have
shown
had
we
approached
the
case
de
novo
and
had
no
cut
-
and
-
dried
story
to
warp
my
mind
,
should
I
not
then
have
found
something
more
definite
to
go
upon
?
Of
course
I
should
.
Sit
down
on
this
bench
,
Watson
,
until
a
train
for
Chiselhurst
arrives
,
and
allow
me
to
lay
the
evidence
before
you
,
imploring
you
in
the
first
instance
to
dismiss
from
your
mind
the
idea
that
anything
which
the
maid
or
her
mistress
may
have
said
must
necessarily
be
true
.
The
lady
s
charming
personality
must
not
be
permitted
to
warp
our
judgment
.
Surely
there
are
details
in
her
story
which
,
if
we
looked
at
in
cold
blood
,
would
excite
our
suspicion
.
These
burglars
made
a
considerable
haul
at
Sydenham
a
fortnight
ago
.

Some
account
of
them
and
of
their
appearance
was
in
the
papers
,
and
would
naturally
occur
to
anyone
who
wished
to
invent
a
story
in
which
imaginary
robbers
should
play
a
part
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
burglars
who
have
done
a
good
stroke
of
business
are
,
as
a
rule
,
only
too
glad
to
enjoy
the
proceeds
in
peace
and
quiet
without
embarking
on
another
perilous
undertaking
.
Again
,
it
is
unusual
for
burglars
to
operate
at
so
early
an
hour
,
it
is
unusual
for
burglars
to
strike
a
lady
to
prevent
her
screaming
,
since
one
would
imagine
that
was
the
sure
way
to
make
her
scream
,
it
is
unusual
for
them
to
commit
murder
when
their
numbers
are
sufficient
to
overpower
one
man
,
it
is
unusual
for
them
to
be
content
with
a
limited
plunder
when
there
was
much
more
within
their
reach
,
and
finally
,
I
should
say
,
that
it
was
very
unusual
for
such
men
to
leave
a
bottle
half
empty
.
How
do
all
these
unusuals
strike
you
,
Watson
?
Their
cumulative
effect
is
certainly
considerable
,
and
yet
each
of
them
is
quite
possible
in
itself
.
The
most
unusual
thing
of
all
,
as
it
seems
to
me
,
is
that
the
lady
should
be
tied
to
the
chair
.
Well
,
I
am
not
so
clear
about
that
,
Watson
,
for
it
is
evident
that
they
must
either
kill
her
or
else
secure
her
in
such
a
way
that
she
could
not
give
immediate
notice
of
their
escape
.
But
at
any
rate
I
have
shown
,
have
I
not
,
that
there
is
a
certain
element
of
improbability
about
the
lady
s
story
?
And
now
,
on
the
top
of
this
,
comes
the
incident
of
the
wineglasses
.
What
about
the
wineglasses
?

Can
you
see
them
in
your
mind
s
eye
?
I
see
them
clearly
.
We
are
told
that
three
men
drank
from
them
.
