A very remarkable note, said Holmes, glancing it over. I must compliment you, Mr. Baynes, upon your attention to detail in your examination of it. A few trifling points might perhaps be added. The oval seal is undoubtedly a plain sleeve-linkwhat else

No, there was no attempt at robbery. This is very painfulvery painful and terrible, said Mr. Scott Eccles in a querulous voice, but it is really uncommonly hard on me. I had nothing to do with my host going off upon a nocturnal excursion and meeting

Remarkable, but by no means impossible, said Holmes, smiling. You have a clue? asked Gregson. On the face of it the case is not a very complex one, though it certainly presents some novel and interesting features. A further knowledge of facts is nece

That is certainly a possible point of view. On the face of it you must admit, however, that it is very strange that his two servants should have been in a conspiracy against him and should have attacked him on the one night when he had a guest. They

Let us take it link by link. There is, on the face of it, something unnatural about this strange and sudden friendship between the young Spaniard and Scott Eccles. It was the former who forced the pace. He called upon Eccles at the other end of Londo

Yes, yes, I see that. But how about the disappearance of the others? I have not all my facts yet, but I do not think there are any insuperable difficulties. Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You find yourself insensibly twisting t

Holmes and I had taken things for the night, and found comfortable quarters at the Bull. Finally we set out in the company of the detective on our visit to Wisteria Lodge. It was a cold, dark March evening, with a sharp wind and a fine rain beating u

That what had come again? The devil, sir, for all I know. It was at the window. What was at the window, and when? It was just about two hours ago. The light was just fading. I was sitting reading in the chair. I don't know what made me look up, but t

He seems to have broken through the shrubbery and made for the road. Well, said the inspector with a grave and thoughtful face, whoever he may have been, and whatever he may have wanted, he's gone for the present, and we have more immediate things to

He held up his candle before an extraordinary object which stood at the back of the dresser. It was so wrinkled and shrunken and withered that it was difficult to say what it might have been. One could but say that it was black and leathery and that

Inspector Baynes's small eyes twinkled with pleasure. You're right, Mr. Holmes. We stagnate in the provinces. A case of this sort gives a man a chance, and I hope that I shall take it. What do you make of these bones? A lamb, I should say, or a kid.

Really we must see Baynes at once, cried Holmes, picking up his hat. We will just catch him before he starts. We hurried down the village street and found, as we had expected, that the inspector was just leaving his lodgings. You've seen the paper, M
