What's this, then? said Lestrade at last. What have you been doing all this time, eh? Oldacre gave an uneasy laugh, shrinking back from the furious red face of the angry detective. I have done no harm. No harm? You have done your best to get an innoc

There's the advantage of being a builder, said Holmes, as we came out. He was able to fix up his own little hiding-place without any confederatesave, of course, that precious housekeeper of his, whom I should lose no time in adding to your bag, Lestr

Wonderful! said Lestrade. Wonderful! It's all as clear as crystal, as you put it. But what is the object of this deep deception, Mr. Holmes? It was amusing to me to see how the detective's overbearing manner had changed suddenly to that of a child as

The malignant creature was seated in his own parlour with a policeman upon each side of him. It was a joke, my good sir, a practical joke, nothing more, he whined incessantly. I assure you, sir, that I simply concealed myself in order to see the effe

Well, Mr. Holmes, what do you make of these? he cried. They told me that you were fond of queer mysteries, and I don't think you can find a queerer one than that. I sent the paper on ahead so that you might have time to study it before I came. It is

She was very straight about it, was Elsie. I can't say that she did not give me every chance of getting out of it if I wished to do so. I have had some very disagreeable associations in my life, said she; I wish to forget all about them. I would rath

Well, now I come to the queer part of my story. About a week agoit was the Tuesday of last weekI found on one of the window-sills a number of absurd little dancing figures, like these upon the paper. They were scrawled with chalk. I thought that it w

Our material is rapidly accumulating, said he. Three days later a message was left scrawled upon paper, and placed under a pebble upon the sun-dial. Here it is. The characters are, as you see, exactly the same as the last one. After that I determined

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 doo

We have let this affair go far enough, said he. Is there a train to North Walsham to-night? I turned up the time-table. The last had just gone. Then we shall breakfast early and take the very first in the morning, said Holmes. Our presence is most ur
