Consider
the
facts
,
sir
.
It
is
inconceivable
that
it
was
taken
after
eleven
-
thirty
at
night
,
since
I
understand
that
Mr
.
Hope
and
his
wife
were
both
in
the
room
from
that
hour
until
the
loss
was
found
out
.
It
was
taken
,
then
,
yesterday
evening
between
seven
-
thirty
and
eleven
-
thirty
,
probably
near
the
earlier
hour
,
since
whoever
took
it
evidently
knew
that
it
was
there
and
would
naturally
secure
it
as
early
as
possible
.
Now
,
sir
,
if
a
document
of
this
importance
were
taken
at
that
hour
,
where
can
it
be
now
?
No
one
has
any
reason
to
retain
it
.
It
has
been
passed
rapidly
on
to
those
who
need
it
.
What
chance
have
we
now
to
overtake
or
even
to
trace
it
?
It
is
beyond
our
reach
.
The
Prime
Minister
rose
from
the
settee
.
What
you
say
is
perfectly
logical
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
I
feel
that
the
matter
is
indeed
out
of
our
hands
.

Let
us
presume
,
for
argument
s
sake
,
that
the
document
was
taken
by
the
maid
or
by
the
valet
They
are
both
old
and
tried
servants
.
I
understand
you
to
say
that
your
room
is
on
the
second
floor
,
that
there
is
no
entrance
from
without
,
and
that
from
within
no
one
could
go
up
unobserved
.
It
must
,
then
,
be
somebody
in
the
house
who
has
taken
it
.
To
whom
would
the
thief
take
it
?
To
one
of
several
international
spies
and
secret
agents
,
whose
names
are
tolerably
familiar
to
me
.
There
are
three
who
may
be
said
to
be
the
heads
of
their
profession
.
I
will
begin
my
research
by
going
round
and
finding
if
each
of
them
is
at
his
post
.
If
one
is
missing
especially
if
he
has
disappeared
since
last
night
we
will
have
some
indication
as
to
where
the
document
has
gone
.

Why
should
he
be
missing
?
asked
the
European
Secretary
.
He
would
take
the
letter
to
an
Embassy
in
London
,
as
likely
as
not
.
I
fancy
not
.
These
agents
work
independently
,
and
their
relations
with
the
Embassies
are
often
strained
.
The
Prime
Minister
nodded
his
acquiescence
.
