Only
that
I
insist
upon
your
dining
with
us
.
It
will
be
ready
in
half
an
hour
.
I
have
oysters
and
a
brace
of
grouse
,
with
something
a
little
choice
in
white
wines
.
—
Watson
,
you
have
never
yet
recognised
my
merits
as
a
housekeeper
.
”
Our
meal
was
a
merry
one
.
Holmes
could
talk
exceedingly
well
when
he
chose
,
and
that
night
he
did
choose
.
He
appeared
to
be
in
a
state
of
nervous
exaltation
.
I
have
never
known
him
so
brilliant
.
He
spoke
on
a
quick
succession
of
subjects
,
—
on
miracle
-
plays
,
on
mediæval
pottery
,
on
Stradivarius
violins
,
on
the
Buddhism
of
Ceylon
,
and
on
the
war
-
ships
of
the
future
,
—
handling
each
as
though
he
had
made
a
special
study
of
it
.
His
bright
humour
marked
the
reaction
from
his
black
depression
of
the
preceding
days
.
Athelney
Jones
proved
to
be
a
sociable
soul
in
his
hours
of
relaxation
,
and
faced
his
dinner
with
the
air
of
a
bon
vivant
.
For
myself
,
I
felt
elated
at
the
thought
that
we
were
nearing
the
end
of
our
task
,
and
I
caught
something
of
Holmes
’
s
gaiety
.
None
of
us
alluded
during
dinner
to
the
cause
which
had
brought
us
together
.
When
the
cloth
was
cleared
,
Holmes
glanced
at
his
watch
,
and
filled
up
three
glasses
with
port
.
“
One
bumper
,
”
said
he
,
“
to
the
success
of
our
little
expedition
.
And
now
it
is
high
time
we
were
off
.
Have
you
a
pistol
,
Watson
?
”
“
I
have
my
old
service
-
revolver
in
my
desk
.
”
“
You
had
best
take
it
,
then
.
It
is
well
to
be
prepared
.
I
see
that
the
cab
is
at
the
door
.
I
ordered
it
for
half
-
past
six
.
”
It
was
a
little
past
seven
before
we
reached
the
Westminster
wharf
,
and
found
our
launch
awaiting
us
.
Holmes
eyed
it
critically
.
“
Is
there
anything
to
mark
it
as
a
police
-
boat
?
”
“
Yes
,
—
that
green
lamp
at
the
side
.
”
“
Then
take
it
off
.
”
The
small
change
was
made
,
we
stepped
on
board
,
and
the
ropes
were
cast
off
.
Jones
,
Holmes
,
and
I
sat
in
the
stern
.
