Excellent
!
This
is
far
the
most
important
of
all
for
our
purpose
.
It
fills
me
with
hopes
.
Now
,
Mr
.
Hilton
Cubitt
,
please
continue
your
most
interesting
statement
.
”
“
I
have
nothing
more
to
say
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
except
that
I
was
angry
with
my
wife
that
night
for
having
held
me
back
when
I
might
have
caught
the
skulking
rascal
.
She
said
that
she
feared
that
I
might
come
to
harm
.
For
an
instant
it
had
crossed
my
mind
that
perhaps
what
she
really
feared
was
that
he
might
come
to
harm
,
for
I
could
not
doubt
that
she
knew
who
this
man
was
,
and
what
he
meant
by
these
strange
signals
.
But
there
is
a
tone
in
my
wife
’
s
voice
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
and
a
look
in
her
eyes
which
forbid
doubt
,
and
I
am
sure
that
it
was
indeed
my
own
safety
that
was
in
her
mind
.
There
’
s
the
whole
case
,
and
now
I
want
your
advice
as
to
what
I
ought
to
do
.
My
own
inclination
is
to
put
half
a
dozen
of
my
farm
lads
in
the
shrubbery
,
and
when
this
fellow
comes
again
to
give
him
such
a
hiding
that
he
will
leave
us
in
peace
for
the
future
.
”
“
I
fear
it
is
too
deep
a
case
for
such
simple
remedies
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
How
long
can
you
stay
in
London
?
”
“
I
must
go
back
to
-
day
.
I
would
not
leave
my
wife
alone
all
night
for
anything
.
She
is
very
nervous
,
and
begged
me
to
come
back
.
”
“
I
daresay
you
are
right
.
But
if
you
could
have
stopped
,
I
might
possibly
have
been
able
to
return
with
you
in
a
day
or
two
.
Meanwhile
you
will
leave
me
these
papers
,
and
I
think
that
it
is
very
likely
that
I
shall
be
able
to
pay
you
a
visit
shortly
and
to
throw
some
light
upon
your
case
.
”
Sherlock
Holmes
preserved
his
calm
professional
manner
until
our
visitor
had
left
us
,
although
it
was
easy
for
me
,
who
knew
him
so
well
,
to
see
that
he
was
profoundly
excited
.
The
moment
that
Hilton
Cubitt
’
s
broad
back
had
disappeared
through
the
door
my
comrade
rushed
to
the
table
,
laid
out
all
the
slips
of
paper
containing
dancing
men
in
front
of
him
,
and
threw
himself
into
an
intricate
and
elaborate
calculation
.
For
two
hours
I
watched
him
as
he
covered
sheet
after
sheet
of
paper
with
figures
and
letters
,
so
completely
absorbed
in
his
task
that
he
had
evidently
forgotten
my
presence
.
Sometimes
he
was
making
progress
and
whistled
and
sang
at
his
work
;
sometimes
he
was
puzzled
,
and
would
sit
for
long
spells
with
a
furrowed
brow
and
a
vacant
eye
.
Finally
he
sprang
from
his
chair
with
a
cry
of
satisfaction
,
and
walked
up
and
down
the
room
rubbing
his
hands
together
.
Then
he
wrote
a
long
telegram
upon
a
cable
form
.
“
If
my
answer
to
this
is
as
I
hope
,
you
will
have
a
very
pretty
case
to
add
to
your
collection
,
Watson
,
”
said
he
.
“
I
expect
that
we
shall
be
able
to
go
down
to
Norfolk
tomorrow
,
and
to
take
our
friend
some
very
definite
news
as
to
the
secret
of
his
annoyance
.
”
I
confess
that
I
was
filled
with
curiosity
,
but
I
was
aware
that
Holmes
liked
to
make
his
disclosures
at
his
own
time
and
in
his
own
way
,
so
I
waited
until
it
should
suit
him
to
take
me
into
his
confidence
.
But
there
was
a
delay
in
that
answering
telegram
,
and
two
days
of
impatience
followed
,
during
which
Holmes
pricked
up
his
ears
at
every
ring
of
the
bell
.
On
the
evening
of
the
second
there
came
a
letter
from
Hilton
Cubitt
.
All
was
quiet
with
him
,
save
that
a
long
inscription
had
appeared
that
morning
upon
the
pedestal
of
the
sundial
.
He
inclosed
a
copy
of
it
,
which
is
here
reproduced
:
