My
mind
ran
upon
our
late
visitor
,
her
smiles
,
the
deep
rich
tones
of
her
voice
,
the
strange
mystery
which
overhung
her
life
.
If
she
were
seventeen
at
the
time
of
her
father
s
disappearance
she
must
be
seven
-
and
-
twenty
now
,
a
sweet
age
,
when
youth
has
lost
its
self
-
consciousness
and
become
a
little
sobered
by
experience
.
So
I
sat
and
mused
,
until
such
dangerous
thoughts
came
into
my
head
that
I
hurried
away
to
my
desk
and
plunged
furiously
into
the
latest
treatise
upon
pathology
.
What
was
I
,
an
army
surgeon
with
a
weak
leg
and
a
weaker
banking
-
account
,
that
I
should
dare
to
think
of
such
things
?
She
was
a
unit
,
a
factor
,
nothing
more
.
If
my
future
were
black
,
it
was
better
surely
to
face
it
like
a
man
than
to
attempt
to
brighten
it
by
mere
will
-
o
-
the
-
wisps
of
the
imagination
.
112
It
was
half
-
past
five
before
Holmes
returned
.
He
was
bright
,
eager
,
and
in
excellent
spirits
,
a
mood
which
in
his
case
alternated
with
fits
of
the
blackest
depression
.
113
There
is
no
great
mystery
in
this
matter
,
he
said
,
taking
the
cup
of
tea
which
I
had
poured
out
for
him
.
The
facts
appear
to
admit
of
only
one
explanation
.

What
!
you
have
solved
it
already
?
115
Well
,
that
would
be
too
much
to
say
.
I
have
discovered
a
suggestive
fact
,
that
is
all
.
It
is
,
however
,
very
suggestive
.
The
details
are
still
to
be
added
.
I
have
just
found
,
on
consulting
the
back
files
of
the
Times
,
that
Major
Sholto
,
of
Upper
Norword
,
late
of
the
34th
Bombay
Infantry
,
died
upon
the
28th
of
April
,
1882
.
116
I
may
be
very
obtuse
,
Holmes
,
but
I
fail
to
see
what
this
suggests
.
117
No
?
You
surprise
me
.
Look
at
it
in
this
way
,
then
.
Captain
Morstan
disappears
.
The
only
person
in
London
whom
he
could
have
visited
is
Major
Sholto
.
Major
Sholto
denies
having
heard
that
he
was
in
London
.
Four
years
later
Sholto
dies
.
Within
a
week
of
his
death
Captain
Morstan
s
daughter
receives
a
valuable
present
,
which
is
repeated
from
year
to
year
,
and
now
culminates
in
a
letter
which
describes
her
as
a
wronged
woman
.

What
wrong
can
it
refer
to
except
this
deprivation
of
her
father
?
And
why
should
the
presents
begin
immediately
after
Sholto
s
death
,
unless
it
is
that
Sholto
s
heir
knows
something
of
the
mystery
and
desires
to
make
compensation
?
Have
you
any
alternative
theory
which
will
meet
the
facts
?
119
But
what
a
strange
compensation
!
And
how
strangely
made
!
Why
,
too
,
should
he
write
a
letter
now
,
rather
than
six
years
ago
?
Again
,
the
letter
speaks
of
giving
her
justice
.
What
justice
can
she
have
?
It
is
too
much
to
suppose
that
her
father
is
still
alive
.
There
is
no
other
injustice
in
her
case
that
you
know
of
.
120
There
are
difficulties
;
there
are
certainly
difficulties
,
said
Sherlock
Holmes
,
pensively
.
But
our
expedition
of
to
-
night
will
solve
them
all
.
Ah
,
here
is
a
four
-
wheeler
,
and
Miss
Morstan
is
inside
.
Are
you
all
ready
?
Then
we
had
better
go
down
,
for
it
is
a
little
past
the
hour
.
