魔鬼之足（24）
You then walked swiftly for the mile which separated you from the vicarage. You were wearing, I may remark, the same pair of ribbed tennis shoes which are at the present moment upon your feet. At the vicarage you passed through the orchard and the si

魔鬼之足（25）
That is why I have done it, said he. It showed the bust and face of a very beautiful woman. Holmes stooped over it. Brenda Tregennis, said he. Yes, Brenda Tregennis, repeated our visitor. For years I have loved her. For years she has loved me. There

魔鬼之足（26）
Well, sir? asked Holmes sternly. I am about to tell you, Mr. Holmes, all that actually occurred, for you already know so much that it is clearly to my interest that you should know all. I have already explained the relationship in which I stood to th

魔鬼之足（27）
I thought no more of the matter until the vicar's telegram reached me at Plymouth. This villain had thought that I would be at sea before the news could reach me, and that I should be lost for years in Africa. But I returned at once. Of course, I cou

魔鬼之足（28）
Now I have told you all. You have yourself supplied the rest. I did, as you say, after a restless night, set off early from my cottage. I foresaw the difficulty of arousing him, so I gathered some gravel from the pile which you have mentioned, and I

魔鬼之足（29）
I have never loved, Watson, but if I did and if the woman I loved had met such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done. Who knows? Well, Watson, I will not offend your intelligence by explaining what is obvious. The gravel upon t

红圈会（1）
The Red Circle Arthur Conan Doyle Chapter I. Part One Well, Mrs. Warren, I cannot see that you have any particular cause for uneasiness, nor do I understand why I, whose time is of some value, should interfere in the matter. I really have other thing

红圈会（2）
No doubt, sir; but this is different. It frightens me, Mr. Holmes. I can't sleep for fright. To hear his quick step moving here and moving there from early morning to late at night, and yet never to catch so much as a glimpse of himit's more than I c

红圈会（3）
Well, sir, they were that he was to have a key of the house. That was all right. Lodgers often have them. Also, that he was to be left entirely to himself and never, upon any excuse, to be disturbed. Nothing wonderful in that, surely? Not in reason,

红圈会（4）
But why? What can it matter to him that his landlady should have a word of his writing? Still, it may be as you say. Then, again, why such laconic messages? I cannot imagine. It opens a pleasing field for intelligent speculation. The words are writte

红圈会（5）
Well, we don't seem to have much material to help us. Do you say nothing has come out of that roomabsolutely nothing? The landlady drew an envelope from her bag; from it she shook out two burnt matches and a cigarette-end upon the table. They were on

红圈会（6）
There are certainly some points of interest in this case, Watson, he remarked when the landlady had left us. It may, of course, be trivialindividual eccentricity; or it may be very much deeper than appears on the surface. The first thing that strike

红圈会（7）
So it proved; for in the morning I found my friend standing on the hearthrug with his back to the fire and a smile of complete satisfaction upon his face. How's this, Watson? he cried, picking up the paper from the table. High red house with white st

红圈会（8）
Most interesting, said Holmes. Did he observe the appearance of these mendid he hear them talk? No; he is clean dazed. He just knows that he was lifted up as if by magic and dropped as if by magic. Two a least were in it, and maybe three. And you con

红圈会（9）
About one, sir. Then Dr. Watson and I will come round in time. For the present, Mrs. Warren, good-bye. At half-past twelve we found ourselves upon the steps of Mrs. Warren's housea high, thin, yellow-brick edifice in Great Orme Street, a narrow thoro
