Well, he wrote so furiously that he broke his pencil, and had, as you observe, to sharpen it again. This is of interest, Watson. The pencil was not an ordinary one. It was above the usual size, with a soft lead; the outer colour was dark blue, the ma

To my bedroom. Have you been in it since your adventure? No; I came straight away for you. I should like to have a glance round. What a charming, old-fashioned room! Perhaps you will kindly wait a minute until I have examined the floor. No, I see not

Lattice-paned, lead framework, three separate windows, one swinging on hinge and large enough to admit a man. Exactly. And it looks out on an angle of the courtyard so as to be partly invisible. The man might have effected his entrance there, left tr

Your three birds are all in their nests, said Holmes, looking up. Halloa! What's that? One of them seems restless enough. It was the Indian, whose dark silhouette appeared suddenly upon his blind. He was pacing swiftly up and down his room. I should

A rude fellow, said our guide, flushing with anger as we withdrew down the stair. Of course, he did not realize that it was I who was knocking, but none the less his conduct was very uncourteous, and, indeed, under the circumstances rather suspicious

Well, Watson, what do you think of it? Holmes asked, as we came out into the main street. Quite a little parlour gamesort of three-card trick, is it not? There are your three men. It must be one of them. You take your choice. Which is yours? The foul

Holmes made no further allusion to the matter that day, though he sat lost in thought for a long time after our belated dinner. At eight in the morning he came into my room just as I finished my toilet. Well, Watson, said he, it is time we went down

Suddenly he heard him at the very door. There was no possible escape. He forgot his gloves, but he caught up his shoes and darted into the bedroom. You observe that the scratch on that table is slight at one side, but deepens in the direction of the
