<p>Isa Whitney, brother of the late Elias Whitney, D.D., Principal
|
|
38
|
+
of the Theological College of St. George’s, was much addicted to
|
|
39
|
+
opium. The habit grew upon him, as I understand, from some
|
|
40
|
+
foolish freak when he was at college; for having read De
|
|
41
|
+
Quincey’s description of his dreams and sensations, he had
|
|
42
|
+
drenched his tobacco with laudanum in an attempt to produce the
|
|
43
|
+
same effects. He found, as so many more have done, that the
|
|
44
|
+
practice is easier to attain than to get rid of, and for many
|
|
45
|
+
years he continued to be a slave to the drug, an object of
|
|
46
|
+
mingled horror and pity to his friends and relatives. I can see
|
|
47
|
+
him now, with yellow, pasty face, drooping lids, and pin-point
|
|
48
|
+
pupils, all huddled in a chair, the wreck and ruin of a noble
|
|
49
|
+
man.</p>
|
|
50
|
+
<p>One night—it was in June, '89—there came a ring to my bell,
|
|
51
|
+
about the hour when a man gives his first yawn and glances at the
|
|
52
|
+
clock. I sat up in my chair, and my wife laid her needle-work
|
|
53
|
+
down in her lap and made a little face of disappointment.</p>
|
|
54
|
+
<p>"A patient!" said she. "You’ll have to go out."</p>
|
|
55
|
+
<p>I groaned, for I was newly come back from a weary day.</p>
|
|
56
|
+
<p>We heard the door open, a few hurried words, and then quick steps
|
|
57
|
+
upon the linoleum. Our own door flew open, and a lady, clad in
|
|
58
|
+
some dark-coloured stuff, with a black veil, entered the room.</p>
|
|
59
|
+
<p>"You will excuse my calling so late," she began, and then,
|
|
60
|
+
suddenly losing her self-control, she ran forward, threw her arms
|
|
61
|
+
about my wife’s neck, and sobbed upon her shoulder. "Oh, I’m in
|
|
62
|
+
such trouble!" she cried; "I do so want a little help."</p>
|
|
63
|
+
<p>"Why," said my wife, pulling up her veil, "it is Kate Whitney.
|
|
64
|
+
How you startled me, Kate! I had not an idea who you were when
|
|
65
|
+
you came in."</p>
|
|
66
|
+
<p>"I didn’t know what to do, so I came straight to you." That was
|
|
67
|
+
always the way. Folk who were in grief came to my wife like birds
|
|
68
|
+
to a light-house.</p>
|
|
69
|
+
<p>"It was very sweet of you to come. Now, you must have some wine
|
|
70
|
+
and water, and sit here comfortably and tell us all about it. Or
|
|
71
|
+
should you rather that I sent James off to bed?"</p>
|
|
72
|
+
<p>"Oh, no, no! I want the doctor’s advice and help, too. It’s about
|
|
73
|
+
Isa. He has not been home for two days. I am so frightened about
|
|
74
|
+
him!"</p>
|
|
75
|
+
<p>It was not the first time that she had spoken to us of her
|
|
76
|
+
husband’s trouble, to me as a doctor, to my wife as an old friend
|
|
77
|
+
and school companion. We soothed and comforted her by such words
|
|
78
|
+
as we could find. Did she know where her husband was? Was it
|
|
79
|
+
possible that we could bring him back to her?</p>
|
|
80
|
+
<p>It seems that it was. She had the surest information that of late
|
|
81
|
+
he had, when the fit was on him, made use of an opium den in the
|
|
82
|
+
farthest east of the City. Hitherto his orgies had always been
|
|
83
|
+
confined to one day, and he had come back, twitching and
|
|
84
|
+
shattered, in the evening. But now the spell had been upon him
|
|
85
|
+
eight-and-forty hours, and he lay there, doubtless among the
|
|
86
|
+
dregs of the docks, breathing in the poison or sleeping off the
|
|
87
|
+
effects. There he was to be found, she was sure of it, at the Bar
|
|
88
|
+
of Gold, in Upper Swandam Lane. But what was she to do? How could
|
|
89
|
+
she, a young and timid woman, make her way into such a place and
|
|
90
|
+
pluck her husband out from among the ruffians who surrounded him?</p>
|
|
91
|
+
<p>There was the case, and of course there was but one way out of
|
|
92
|
+
it. Might I not escort her to this place? And then, as a second
|
|
93
|
+
thought, why should she come at all? I was Isa Whitney’s medical
|
|
94
|
+
adviser, and as such I had influence over him. I could manage it
|
|
95
|
+
better if I were alone. I promised her on my word that I would
|
|
96
|
+
send him home in a cab within two hours if he were indeed at the
|
|
97
|
+
address which she had given me. And so in ten minutes I had left
|
|
98
|
+
my armchair and cheery sitting-room behind me, and was speeding
|
|
99
|
+
eastward in a hansom on a strange errand, as it seemed to me at
|
|
100
|
+
the time, though the future only could show how strange it was to
|
|
101
|
+
be.</p>
|
|
102
|
+
<p>But there was no great difficulty in the first stage of my
|
|
103
|
+
adventure. Upper Swandam Lane is a vile alley lurking behind the
|
|
104
|
+
high wharves which line the north side of the river to the east
|
|
105
|
+
of London Bridge. Between a slop-shop and a gin-shop, approached
|
|
106
|
+
by a steep flight of steps leading down to a black gap like the
|
|
107
|
+
mouth of a cave, I found the den of which I was in search.
|
|
108
|
+
Ordering my cab to wait, I passed down the steps, worn hollow in
|
|
109
|
+
the centre by the ceaseless tread of drunken feet; and by the
|
|
110
|
+
light of a flickering oil-lamp above the door I found the latch
|
|
111
|
+
and made my way into a long, low room, thick and heavy with the
|
|
112
|
+
brown opium smoke, and terraced with wooden berths, like the
|
|
113
|
+
forecastle of an emigrant ship.</p>
|
|
114
|
+
<p>Through the gloom one could dimly catch a glimpse of bodies lying
|
|
115
|
+
in strange fantastic poses, bowed shoulders, bent knees, heads
|
|
116
|
+
thrown back, and chins pointing upward, with here and there a
|
|
117
|
+
dark, lack-lustre eye turned upon the newcomer. Out of the black
|
|
118
|
+
shadows there glimmered little red circles of light, now bright,
|
|
119
|
+
now faint, as the burning poison waxed or waned in the bowls of
|
|
120
|
+
the metal pipes. The most lay silent, but some muttered to
|
|
121
|
+
themselves, and others talked together in a strange, low,
|
|
122
|
+
monotonous voice, their conversation coming in gushes, and then
|
|
123
|
+
suddenly tailing off into silence, each mumbling out his own
|
|
124
|
+
thoughts and paying little heed to the words of his neighbour. At
|
|
125
|
+
the farther end was a small brazier of burning charcoal, beside
|
|
126
|
+
which on a three-legged wooden stool there sat a tall, thin old
|
|
127
|
+
man, with his jaw resting upon his two fists, and his elbows upon
|
|
128
|
+
his knees, staring into the fire.</p>
|
|
129
|
+
<p>As I entered, a sallow Malay attendant had hurried up with a pipe
|
|
130
|
+
for me and a supply of the drug, beckoning me to an empty berth.</p>
|
|
131
|
+
<p>"Thank you. I have not come to stay," said I. "There is a friend
|
|
132
|
+
of mine here, Mr. Isa Whitney, and I wish to speak with him."</p>
|
|
133
|
+
<p>There was a movement and an exclamation from my right, and
|
|
134
|
+
peering through the gloom, I saw Whitney, pale, haggard, and
|
|
135
|
+
unkempt, staring out at me.</p>
|
|
136
|
+
<p>"My God! It’s Watson," said he. He was in a pitiable state of
|
|
137
|
+
reaction, with every nerve in a twitter. "I say, Watson, what
|
|
138
|
+
o’clock is it?"</p>
|
|
139
|
+
<p>"Nearly eleven."</p>
|
|
140
|
+
<p>"Of what day?"</p>
|
|
141
|
+
<p>"Of Friday, June 19th."</p>
|
|
142
|
+
<p>"Good heavens! I thought it was Wednesday. It is Wednesday. What
|
|
143
|
+
d’you want to frighten a chap for?" He sank his face onto his
|
|
144
|
+
arms and began to sob in a high treble key.</p>
|
|
145
|
+
<p>"I tell you that it is Friday, man. Your wife has been waiting
|
|
146
|
+
this two days for you. You should be ashamed of yourself!"</p>
|
|
147
|
+
<p>"So I am. But you’ve got mixed, Watson, for I have only been here
|
|
148
|
+
a few hours, three pipes, four pipes—I forget how many. But I’ll
|
|
149
|
+
go home with you. I wouldn’t frighten Kate—poor little Kate.
|
|
150
|
+
Give me your hand! Have you a cab?"</p>
|
|
151
|
+
<p>"Yes, I have one waiting."</p>
|
|
152
|
+
<p>"Then I shall go in it. But I must owe something. Find what I
|
|
153
|
+
owe, Watson. I am all off colour. I can do nothing for myself."</p>
|
|
154
|
+
<p>I walked down the narrow passage between the double row of
|
|
155
|
+
sleepers, holding my breath to keep out the vile, stupefying
|
|
156
|
+
fumes of the drug, and looking about for the manager. As I passed
|
|
157
|
+
the tall man who sat by the brazier I felt a sudden pluck at my
|
|
158
|
+
skirt, and a low voice whispered, "Walk past me, and then look
|
|
159
|
+
back at me." The words fell quite distinctly upon my ear. I
|
|
160
|
+
glanced down. They could only have come from the old man at my
|
|
161
|
+
side, and yet he sat now as absorbed as ever, very thin, very
|
|
162
|
+
wrinkled, bent with age, an opium pipe dangling down from between
|
|
163
|
+
his knees, as though it had dropped in sheer lassitude from his
|
|
164
|
+
fingers. I took two steps forward and looked back. It took all my
|
|
165
|
+
self-control to prevent me from breaking out into a cry of
|
|
166
|
+
astonishment. He had turned his back so that none could see him
|
|
167
|
+
but I. His form had filled out, his wrinkles were gone, the dull
|
|
168
|
+
eyes had regained their fire, and there, sitting by the fire and
|
|
169
|
+
grinning at my surprise, was none other than Sherlock Holmes. He
|
|
170
|
+
made a slight motion to me to approach him, and instantly, as he
|
|
171
|
+
turned his face half round to the company once more, subsided
|
|
172
|
+
into a doddering, loose-lipped senility.</p>
|
|
173
|
+
<p>"Holmes!" I whispered, "what on earth are you doing in this den?"</p>
|
|
174
|
+
<p>"As low as you can," he answered; "I have excellent ears. If you
|
|
175
|
+
would have the great kindness to get rid of that sottish friend
|
|
176
|
+
of yours I should be exceedingly glad to have a little talk with
|
|
177
|
+
you."</p>
|
|
178
|
+
<p>"I have a cab outside."</p>
|
|
179
|
+
<p>"Then pray send him home in it. You may safely trust him, for he
|
|
180
|
+
appears to be too limp to get into any mischief. I should
|
|
181
|
+
recommend you also to send a note by the cabman to your wife to
|
|
182
|
+
say that you have thrown in your lot with me. If you will wait
|
|
183
|
+
outside, I shall be with you in five minutes."</p>
|
|
184
|
+
<p>It was difficult to refuse any of Sherlock Holmes' requests, for
|
|
185
|
+
they were always so exceedingly definite, and put forward with
|
|
186
|
+
such a quiet air of mastery. I felt, however, that when Whitney
|
|
187
|
+
was once confined in the cab my mission was practically
|
|
188
|
+
accomplished; and for the rest, I could not wish anything better
|
|
189
|
+
than to be associated with my friend in one of those singular
|
|
190
|
+
adventures which were the normal condition of his existence. In a
|
|
191
|
+
few minutes I had written my note, paid Whitney’s bill, led him
|
|
192
|
+
out to the cab, and seen him driven through the darkness. In a
|
|
193
|
+
very short time a decrepit figure had emerged from the opium den,
|
|
194
|
+
and I was walking down the street with Sherlock Holmes. For two
|
|
195
|
+
streets he shuffled along with a bent back and an uncertain foot.
|
|
196
|
+
Then, glancing quickly round, he straightened himself out and
|
|
197
|
+
burst into a hearty fit of laughter.</p>
|
|
198
|
+
<p>"I suppose, Watson," said he, "that you imagine that I have added
|
|
199
|
+
opium-smoking to cocaine injections, and all the other little
|
|
200
|
+
weaknesses on which you have favoured me with your medical
|
|
201
|
+
views."</p>
|
|
202
|
+
<p>"I was certainly surprised to find you there."</p>
|
|
203
|
+
<p>"But not more so than I to find you."</p>
|
|
204
|
+
<p>"I came to find a friend."</p>
|
|
205
|
+
<p>"And I to find an enemy."</p>
|
|
206
|
+
<p>"An enemy?"</p>
|
|
207
|
+
<p>"Yes; one of my natural enemies, or, shall I say, my natural
|
|
208
|
+
prey. Briefly, Watson, I am in the midst of a very remarkable
|
|
209
|
+
inquiry, and I have hoped to find a clue in the incoherent
|
|
210
|
+
ramblings of these sots, as I have done before now. Had I been
|
|
211
|
+
recognised in that den my life would not have been worth an
|
|
212
|
+
hour’s purchase; for I have used it before now for my own
|
|
213
|
+
purposes, and the rascally Lascar who runs it has sworn to have
|
|
214
|
+
vengeance upon me. There is a trap-door at the back of that
|
|
215
|
+
building, near the corner of Paul’s Wharf, which could tell some
|
|
216
|
+
strange tales of what has passed through it upon the moonless
|
|
217
|
+
nights."</p>
|
|
218
|
+
<p>"What! You do not mean bodies?"</p>
|
|
219
|
+
<p>"Ay, bodies, Watson. We should be rich men if we had 1000 pounds
|
|
220
|
+
for every poor devil who has been done to death in that den. It
|
|
221
|
+
is the vilest murder-trap on the whole riverside, and I fear that
|
|
222
|
+
Neville St. Clair has entered it never to leave it more. But our
|
|
223
|
+
trap should be here." He put his two forefingers between his
|
|
224
|
+
teeth and whistled shrilly—a signal which was answered by a
|
|
225
|
+
similar whistle from the distance, followed shortly by the rattle
|
|
226
|
+
of wheels and the clink of horses' hoofs.</p>
|
|
227
|
+
<p>"Now, Watson," said Holmes, as a tall dog-cart dashed up through
|
|
228
|
+
the gloom, throwing out two golden tunnels of yellow light from
|
|
229
|
+
its side lanterns. "You’ll come with me, won’t you?"</p>
|
|
230
|
+
<p>"If I can be of use."</p>
|
|
231
|
+
<p>"Oh, a trusty comrade is always of use; and a chronicler still
|
|
232
|
+
more so. My room at The Cedars is a double-bedded one."</p>
|
|
233
|
+
<p>"The Cedars?"</p>
|
|
234
|
+
<p>"Yes; that is Mr. St. Clair’s house. I am staying there while I
|
|
235
|
+
conduct the inquiry."</p>
|
|
236
|
+
<p>"Where is it, then?"</p>
|
|
237
|
+
<p>"Near Lee, in Kent. We have a seven-mile drive before us."</p>
|
|
238
|
+
<p>"But I am all in the dark."</p>
|
|
239
|
+
<p>"Of course you are. You’ll know all about it presently. Jump up
|
|
240
|
+
here. All right, John; we shall not need you. Here’s half a
|
|
241
|
+
crown. Look out for me to-morrow, about eleven. Give her her
|
|
242
|
+
head. So long, then!"</p>
|
|
243
|
+
<p>He flicked the horse with his whip, and we dashed away through
|
|
244
|
+
the endless succession of sombre and deserted streets, which
|
|
245
|
+
widened gradually, until we were flying across a broad
|
|
246
|
+
balustraded bridge, with the murky river flowing sluggishly
|
|
247
|
+
beneath us. Beyond lay another dull wilderness of bricks and
|
|
248
|
+
mortar, its silence broken only by the heavy, regular footfall of
|
|
249
|
+
the policeman, or the songs and shouts of some belated party of
|
|
250
|
+
revellers. A dull wrack was drifting slowly across the sky, and a
|
|
251
|
+
star or two twinkled dimly here and there through the rifts of
|
|
252
|
+
the clouds. Holmes drove in silence, with his head sunk upon his
|
|
253
|
+
breast, and the air of a man who is lost in thought, while I sat
|
|
254
|
+
beside him, curious to learn what this new quest might be which
|
|
255
|
+
seemed to tax his powers so sorely, and yet afraid to break in
|
|
256
|
+
upon the current of his thoughts. We had driven several miles,
|
|
257
|
+
and were beginning to get to the fringe of the belt of suburban
|
|
258
|
+
villas, when he shook himself, shrugged his shoulders, and lit up
|
|
259
|
+
his pipe with the air of a man who has satisfied himself that he
|
|
260
|
+
is acting for the best.</p>
|
|
261
|
+
<p>"You have a grand gift of silence, Watson," said he. "It makes
|
|
262
|
+
you quite invaluable as a companion. 'Pon my word, it is a great
|
|
263
|
+
thing for me to have someone to talk to, for my own thoughts are
|
|
264
|
+
not over-pleasant. I was wondering what I should say to this dear
|
|
265
|
+
little woman to-night when she meets me at the door."</p>
|
|
266
|
+
<p>"You forget that I know nothing about it."</p>
|
|
267
|
+
<p>"I shall just have time to tell you the facts of the case before
|
|
268
|
+
we get to Lee. It seems absurdly simple, and yet, somehow I can
|
|
269
|
+
get nothing to go upon. There’s plenty of thread, no doubt, but I
|
|
270
|
+
can’t get the end of it into my hand. Now, I’ll state the case
|
|
271
|
+
clearly and concisely to you, Watson, and maybe you can see a
|
|
272
|
+
spark where all is dark to me."</p>
|
|
273
|
+
<p>"Proceed, then."</p>
|
|
274
|
+
<p>"Some years ago—to be definite, in May, 1884—there came to Lee
|
|
275
|
+
a gentleman, Neville St. Clair by name, who appeared to have
|
|
276
|
+
plenty of money. He took a large villa, laid out the grounds very
|
|
277
|
+
nicely, and lived generally in good style. By degrees he made
|
|
278
|
+
friends in the neighbourhood, and in 1887 he married the daughter
|
|
279
|
+
of a local brewer, by whom he now has two children. He had no
|
|
280
|
+
occupation, but was interested in several companies and went into
|
|
281
|
+
town as a rule in the morning, returning by the 5:14 from Cannon
|
|
282
|
+
Street every night. Mr. St. Clair is now thirty-seven years of
|
|
283
|
+
age, is a man of temperate habits, a good husband, a very
|
|
284
|
+
affectionate father, and a man who is popular with all who know
|
|
285
|
+
him. I may add that his whole debts at the present moment, as far
|
|
286
|
+
as we have been able to ascertain, amount to 88 pounds 10s., while
|
|
287
|
+
he has 220 pounds standing to his credit in the Capital and
|
|
288
|
+
Counties Bank. There is no reason, therefore, to think that money
|
|
289
|
+
troubles have been weighing upon his mind.</p>
|
|
290
|
+
<p>"Last Monday Mr. Neville St. Clair went into town rather earlier
|
|
291
|
+
than usual, remarking before he started that he had two important
|
|
292
|
+
commissions to perform, and that he would bring his little boy
|
|
293
|
+
home a box of bricks. Now, by the merest chance, his wife
|
|
294
|
+
received a telegram upon this same Monday, very shortly after his
|
|
295
|
+
departure, to the effect that a small parcel of considerable
|
|
296
|
+
value which she had been expecting was waiting for her at the
|
|
297
|
+
offices of the Aberdeen Shipping Company. Now, if you are well up
|
|
298
|
+
in your London, you will know that the office of the company is
|
|
299
|
+
in Fresno Street, which branches out of Upper Swandam Lane, where
|
|
300
|
+
you found me to-night. Mrs. St. Clair had her lunch, started for
|
|
301
|
+
the City, did some shopping, proceeded to the company’s office,
|
|
302
|
+
got her packet, and found herself at exactly 4:35 walking through
|
|
303
|
+
Swandam Lane on her way back to the station. Have you followed me
|
|
304
|
+
so far?"</p>
|
|
305
|
+
<p>"It is very clear."</p>
|
|
306
|
+
<p>"If you remember, Monday was an exceedingly hot day, and Mrs. St.
|
|
307
|
+
Clair walked slowly, glancing about in the hope of seeing a cab,
|
|
308
|
+
as she did not like the neighbourhood in which she found herself.
|
|
309
|
+
While she was walking in this way down Swandam Lane, she suddenly
|
|
310
|
+
heard an ejaculation or cry, and was struck cold to see her
|
|
311
|
+
husband looking down at her and, as it seemed to her, beckoning
|
|
312
|
+
to her from a second-floor window. The window was open, and she
|
|
313
|
+
distinctly saw his face, which she describes as being terribly
|
|
314
|
+
agitated. He waved his hands frantically to her, and then
|
|
315
|
+
vanished from the window so suddenly that it seemed to her that
|
|
316
|
+
he had been plucked back by some irresistible force from behind.
|
|
317
|
+
One singular point which struck her quick feminine eye was that
|
|
318
|
+
although he wore some dark coat, such as he had started to town
|
|
319
|
+
in, he had on neither collar nor necktie.</p>
|
|
320
|
+
<p>"Convinced that something was amiss with him, she rushed down the
|
|
321
|
+
steps—for the house was none other than the opium den in which
|
|
322
|
+
you found me to-night—and running through the front room she
|
|
323
|
+
attempted to ascend the stairs which led to the first floor. At
|
|
324
|
+
the foot of the stairs, however, she met this Lascar scoundrel of
|
|
325
|
+
whom I have spoken, who thrust her back and, aided by a Dane, who
|
|
326
|
+
acts as assistant there, pushed her out into the street. Filled
|
|
327
|
+
with the most maddening doubts and fears, she rushed down the
|
|
328
|
+
lane and, by rare good-fortune, met in Fresno Street a number of
|
|
329
|
+
constables with an inspector, all on their way to their beat. The
|
|
330
|
+
inspector and two men accompanied her back, and in spite of the
|
|
331
|
+
continued resistance of the proprietor, they made their way to
|
|
332
|
+
the room in which Mr. St. Clair had last been seen. There was no
|
|
333
|
+
sign of him there. In fact, in the whole of that floor there was
|
|
334
|
+
no one to be found save a crippled wretch of hideous aspect, who,
|
|
335
|
+
it seems, made his home there. Both he and the Lascar stoutly
|
|
336
|
+
swore that no one else had been in the front room during the
|
|
337
|
+
afternoon. So determined was their denial that the inspector was
|
|
338
|
+
staggered, and had almost come to believe that Mrs. St. Clair had
|
|
339
|
+
been deluded when, with a cry, she sprang at a small deal box
|
|
340
|
+
which lay upon the table and tore the lid from it. Out there fell
|
|
341
|
+
a cascade of children’s bricks. It was the toy which he had
|
|
342
|
+
promised to bring home.</p>
|
|
343
|
+
<p>"This discovery, and the evident confusion which the cripple
|
|
344
|
+
showed, made the inspector realise that the matter was serious.
|
|
345
|
+
The rooms were carefully examined, and results all pointed to an
|
|
346
|
+
abominable crime. The front room was plainly furnished as a
|
|
347
|
+
sitting-room and led into a small bedroom, which looked out upon
|
|
348
|
+
the back of one of the wharves. Between the wharf and the bedroom
|
|
349
|
+
window is a narrow strip, which is dry at low tide but is covered
|
|
350
|
+
at high tide with at least four and a half feet of water. The
|
|
351
|
+
bedroom window was a broad one and opened from below. On
|
|
352
|
+
examination traces of blood were to be seen upon the windowsill,
|
|
353
|
+
and several scattered drops were visible upon the wooden floor of
|
|
354
|
+
the bedroom. Thrust away behind a curtain in the front room were
|
|
355
|
+
all the clothes of Mr. Neville St. Clair, with the exception of
|
|
356
|
+
his coat. His boots, his socks, his hat, and his watch—all were
|
|
357
|
+
there. There were no signs of violence upon any of these
|
|
358
|
+
garments, and there were no other traces of Mr. Neville St.
|
|
359
|
+
Clair. Out of the window he must apparently have gone for no
|
|
360
|
+
other exit could be discovered, and the ominous bloodstains upon
|
|
361
|
+
the sill gave little promise that he could save himself by
|
|
362
|
+
swimming, for the tide was at its very highest at the moment of
|
|
363
|
+
the tragedy.</p>
|
|
364
|
+
<p>"And now as to the villains who seemed to be immediately
|
|
365
|
+
implicated in the matter. The Lascar was known to be a man of the
|
|
366
|
+
vilest antecedents, but as, by Mrs. St. Clair’s story, he was
|
|
367
|
+
known to have been at the foot of the stair within a very few
|
|
368
|
+
seconds of her husband’s appearance at the window, he could
|
|
369
|
+
hardly have been more than an accessory to the crime. His defence
|
|
370
|
+
was one of absolute ignorance, and he protested that he had no
|
|
371
|
+
knowledge as to the doings of Hugh Boone, his lodger, and that he
|
|
372
|
+
could not account in any way for the presence of the missing
|
|
373
|
+
gentleman’s clothes.</p>
|
|
374
|
+
<p>"So much for the Lascar manager. Now for the sinister cripple who
|
|
375
|
+
lives upon the second floor of the opium den, and who was
|
|
376
|
+
certainly the last human being whose eyes rested upon Neville St.
|
|
377
|
+
Clair. His name is Hugh Boone, and his hideous face is one which
|
|
378
|
+
is familiar to every man who goes much to the City. He is a
|
|
379
|
+
professional beggar, though in order to avoid the police
|
|
380
|
+
regulations he pretends to a small trade in wax vestas. Some
|
|
381
|
+
little distance down Threadneedle Street, upon the left-hand
|
|
382
|
+
side, there is, as you may have remarked, a small angle in the
|
|
383
|
+
wall. Here it is that this creature takes his daily seat,
|
|
384
|
+
cross-legged with his tiny stock of matches on his lap, and as he
|
|
385
|
+
is a piteous spectacle a small rain of charity descends into the
|
|
386
|
+
greasy leather cap which lies upon the pavement beside him. I
|
|
387
|
+
have watched the fellow more than once before ever I thought of
|
|
388
|
+
making his professional acquaintance, and I have been surprised
|
|
389
|
+
at the harvest which he has reaped in a short time. His
|
|
390
|
+
appearance, you see, is so remarkable that no one can pass him
|
|
391
|
+
without observing him. A shock of orange hair, a pale face
|
|
392
|
+
disfigured by a horrible scar, which, by its contraction, has
|
|
393
|
+
turned up the outer edge of his upper lip, a bulldog chin, and a
|
|
394
|
+
pair of very penetrating dark eyes, which present a singular
|
|
395
|
+
contrast to the colour of his hair, all mark him out from amid
|
|
396
|
+
the common crowd of mendicants and so, too, does his wit, for he
|
|
397
|
+
is ever ready with a reply to any piece of chaff which may be
|
|
398
|
+
thrown at him by the passers-by. This is the man whom we now
|
|
399
|
+
learn to have been the lodger at the opium den, and to have been
|
|
400
|
+
the last man to see the gentleman of whom we are in quest."</p>
|
|
401
|
+
<p>"But a cripple!" said I. "What could he have done single-handed
|
|
402
|
+
against a man in the prime of life?"</p>
|
|
403
|
+
<p>"He is a cripple in the sense that he walks with a limp; but in
|
|
404
|
+
other respects he appears to be a powerful and well-nurtured man.
|
|
405
|
+
Surely your medical experience would tell you, Watson, that
|
|
406
|
+
weakness in one limb is often compensated for by exceptional
|
|
407
|
+
strength in the others."</p>
|
|
408
|
+
<p>"Pray continue your narrative."</p>
|
|
409
|
+
<p>"Mrs. St. Clair had fainted at the sight of the blood upon the
|
|
410
|
+
window, and she was escorted home in a cab by the police, as her
|
|
411
|
+
presence could be of no help to them in their investigations.
|
|
412
|
+
Inspector Barton, who had charge of the case, made a very careful
|
|
413
|
+
examination of the premises, but without finding anything which
|
|
414
|
+
threw any light upon the matter. One mistake had been made in not
|
|
415
|
+
arresting Boone instantly, as he was allowed some few minutes
|
|
416
|
+
during which he might have communicated with his friend the
|
|
417
|
+
Lascar, but this fault was soon remedied, and he was seized and
|
|
418
|
+
searched, without anything being found which could incriminate
|
|
419
|
+
him. There were, it is true, some blood-stains upon his right
|
|
420
|
+
shirt-sleeve, but he pointed to his ring-finger, which had been
|
|
421
|
+
cut near the nail, and explained that the bleeding came from
|
|
422
|
+
there, adding that he had been to the window not long before, and
|
|
423
|
+
that the stains which had been observed there came doubtless from
|
|
424
|
+
the same source. He denied strenuously having ever seen Mr.
|
|
425
|
+
Neville St. Clair and swore that the presence of the clothes in
|
|
426
|
+
his room was as much a mystery to him as to the police. As to
|
|
427
|
+
Mrs. St. Clair’s assertion that she had actually seen her husband
|
|
428
|
+
at the window, he declared that she must have been either mad or
|
|
429
|
+
dreaming. He was removed, loudly protesting, to the
|
|
430
|
+
police-station, while the inspector remained upon the premises in
|
|
431
|
+
the hope that the ebbing tide might afford some fresh clue.</p>
|
|
432
|
+
<p>"And it did, though they hardly found upon the mud-bank what they
|
|
433
|
+
had feared to find. It was Neville St. Clair’s coat, and not
|
|
434
|
+
Neville St. Clair, which lay uncovered as the tide receded. And
|
|
435
|
+
what do you think they found in the pockets?"</p>
|
|
436
|
+
<p>"I cannot imagine."</p>
|
|
437
|
+
<p>"No, I don’t think you would guess. Every pocket stuffed with
|
|
438
|
+
pennies and half-pennies—421 pennies and 270 half-pennies. It
|
|
439
|
+
was no wonder that it had not been swept away by the tide. But a
|
|
440
|
+
human body is a different matter. There is a fierce eddy between
|
|
441
|
+
the wharf and the house. It seemed likely enough that the
|
|
442
|
+
weighted coat had remained when the stripped body had been sucked
|
|
443
|
+
away into the river."</p>
|
|
444
|
+
<p>"But I understand that all the other clothes were found in the
|
|
445
|
+
room. Would the body be dressed in a coat alone?"</p>
|
|
446
|
+
<p>"No, sir, but the facts might be met speciously enough. Suppose
|
|
447
|
+
that this man Boone had thrust Neville St. Clair through the
|
|
448
|
+
window, there is no human eye which could have seen the deed.
|
|
449
|
+
What would he do then? It would of course instantly strike him
|
|
450
|
+
that he must get rid of the tell-tale garments. He would seize
|
|
451
|
+
the coat, then, and be in the act of throwing it out, when it
|
|
452
|
+
would occur to him that it would swim and not sink. He has little
|
|
453
|
+
time, for he has heard the scuffle downstairs when the wife tried
|
|
454
|
+
to force her way up, and perhaps he has already heard from his
|
|
455
|
+
Lascar confederate that the police are hurrying up the street.
|
|
456
|
+
There is not an instant to be lost. He rushes to some secret
|
|
457
|
+
hoard, where he has accumulated the fruits of his beggary, and he
|
|
458
|
+
stuffs all the coins upon which he can lay his hands into the
|
|
459
|
+
pockets to make sure of the coat’s sinking. He throws it out, and
|
|
460
|
+
would have done the same with the other garments had not he heard
|
|
461
|
+
the rush of steps below, and only just had time to close the
|
|
462
|
+
window when the police appeared."</p>
|
|
463
|
+
<p>"It certainly sounds feasible."</p>
|
|
464
|
+
<p>"Well, we will take it as a working hypothesis for want of a
|
|
465
|
+
better. Boone, as I have told you, was arrested and taken to the
|
|
466
|
+
station, but it could not be shown that there had ever before
|
|
467
|
+
been anything against him. He had for years been known as a
|
|
468
|
+
professional beggar, but his life appeared to have been a very
|
|
469
|
+
quiet and innocent one. There the matter stands at present, and
|
|
470
|
+
the questions which have to be solved—what Neville St. Clair was
|
|
471
|
+
doing in the opium den, what happened to him when there, where is
|
|
472
|
+
he now, and what Hugh Boone had to do with his disappearance—are
|
|
473
|
+
all as far from a solution as ever. I confess that I cannot
|
|
474
|
+
recall any case within my experience which looked at the first
|
|
475
|
+
glance so simple and yet which presented such difficulties."</p>
|
|
476
|
+
<p>While Sherlock Holmes had been detailing this singular series of
|
|
477
|
+
events, we had been whirling through the outskirts of the great
|
|
478
|
+
town until the last straggling houses had been left behind, and
|
|
479
|
+
we rattled along with a country hedge upon either side of us.
|
|
480
|
+
Just as he finished, however, we drove through two scattered
|
|
481
|
+
villages, where a few lights still glimmered in the windows.</p>
|
|
482
|
+
<p>"We are on the outskirts of Lee," said my companion. "We have
|
|
483
|
+
touched on three English counties in our short drive, starting in
|
|
484
|
+
Middlesex, passing over an angle of Surrey, and ending in Kent.
|
|
485
|
+
See that light among the trees? That is The Cedars, and beside
|
|
486
|
+
that lamp sits a woman whose anxious ears have already, I have
|
|
487
|
+
little doubt, caught the clink of our horse’s feet."</p>
|
|
488
|
+
<p>"But why are you not conducting the case from Baker Street?" I
|
|
489
|
+
asked.</p>
|
|
490
|
+
<p>"Because there are many inquiries which must be made out here.
|
|
491
|
+
Mrs. St. Clair has most kindly put two rooms at my disposal, and
|
|
492
|
+
you may rest assured that she will have nothing but a welcome for
|
|
493
|
+
my friend and colleague. I hate to meet her, Watson, when I have
|
|
494
|
+
no news of her husband. Here we are. Whoa, there, whoa!"</p>
|
|
495
|
+
<p>We had pulled up in front of a large villa which stood within its
|
|
496
|
+
own grounds. A stable-boy had run out to the horse’s head, and
|
|
497
|
+
springing down, I followed Holmes up the small, winding
|
|
498
|
+
gravel-drive which led to the house. As we approached, the door
|
|
499
|
+
flew open, and a little blonde woman stood in the opening, clad
|
|
500
|
+
in some sort of light mousseline de soie, with a touch of fluffy
|
|
501
|
+
pink chiffon at her neck and wrists. She stood with her figure
|
|
502
|
+
outlined against the flood of light, one hand upon the door, one
|
|
503
|
+
half-raised in her eagerness, her body slightly bent, her head
|
|
504
|
+
and face protruded, with eager eyes and parted lips, a standing
|
|
505
|
+
question.</p>
|
|
506
|
+
<p>"Well?" she cried, "well?" And then, seeing that there were two
|
|
507
|
+
of us, she gave a cry of hope which sank into a groan as she saw
|
|
508
|
+
that my companion shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.</p>
|
|
509
|
+
<p>"No good news?"</p>
|
|
510
|
+
<p>"None."</p>
|
|
511
|
+
<p>"No bad?"</p>
|
|
512
|
+
<p>"No."</p>
|
|
513
|
+
<p>"Thank God for that. But come in. You must be weary, for you have
|
|
514
|
+
had a long day."</p>
|
|
515
|
+
<p>"This is my friend, Dr. Watson. He has been of most vital use to
|
|
516
|
+
me in several of my cases, and a lucky chance has made it
|
|
517
|
+
possible for me to bring him out and associate him with this
|
|
518
|
+
investigation."</p>
|
|
519
|
+
<p>"I am delighted to see you," said she, pressing my hand warmly.
|
|
520
|
+
"You will, I am sure, forgive anything that may be wanting in our
|
|
521
|
+
arrangements, when you consider the blow which has come so
|
|
522
|
+
suddenly upon us."</p>
|
|
523
|
+
<p>"My dear madam," said I, "I am an old campaigner, and if I were
|
|
524
|
+
not I can very well see that no apology is needed. If I can be of
|
|
525
|
+
any assistance, either to you or to my friend here, I shall be
|
|
526
|
+
indeed happy."</p>
|
|
527
|
+
<p>"Now, Mr. Sherlock Holmes," said the lady as we entered a
|
|
528
|
+
well-lit dining-room, upon the table of which a cold supper had
|
|
529
|
+
been laid out, "I should very much like to ask you one or two
|
|
530
|
+
plain questions, to which I beg that you will give a plain
|
|
531
|
+
answer."</p>
|
|
532
|
+
<p>"Certainly, madam."</p>
|
|
533
|
+
<p>"Do not trouble about my feelings. I am not hysterical, nor given
|
|
534
|
+
to fainting. I simply wish to hear your real, real opinion."</p>
|
|
535
|
+
<p>"Upon what point?"</p>
|
|
536
|
+
<p>"In your heart of hearts, do you think that Neville is alive?"</p>
|
|
537
|
+
<p>Sherlock Holmes seemed to be embarrassed by the question.
|
|
538
|
+
"Frankly, now!" she repeated, standing upon the rug and looking
|
|
539
|
+
keenly down at him as he leaned back in a basket-chair.</p>
|
|
540
|
+
<p>"Frankly, then, madam, I do not."</p>
|
|
541
|
+
<p>"You think that he is dead?"</p>
|
|
542
|
+
<p>"I do."</p>
|
|
543
|
+
<p>"Murdered?"</p>
|
|
544
|
+
<p>"I don’t say that. Perhaps."</p>
|
|
545
|
+
<p>"And on what day did he meet his death?"</p>
|
|
546
|
+
<p>"On Monday."</p>
|
|
547
|
+
<p>"Then perhaps, Mr. Holmes, you will be good enough to explain how
|
|
548
|
+
it is that I have received a letter from him to-day."</p>
|
|
549
|
+
<p>Sherlock Holmes sprang out of his chair as if he had been
|
|
550
|
+
galvanised.</p>
|
|
551
|
+
<p>"What!" he roared.</p>
|
|
552
|
+
<p>"Yes, to-day." She stood smiling, holding up a little slip of
|
|
553
|
+
paper in the air.</p>
|
|
554
|
+
<p>"May I see it?"</p>
|
|
555
|
+
<p>"Certainly."</p>
|
|
556
|
+
<p>He snatched it from her in his eagerness, and smoothing it out
|
|
557
|
+
upon the table he drew over the lamp and examined it intently. I
|
|
558
|
+
had left my chair and was gazing at it over his shoulder. The
|
|
559
|
+
envelope was a very coarse one and was stamped with the Gravesend
|
|
560
|
+
postmark and with the date of that very day, or rather of the day
|
|
561
|
+
before, for it was considerably after midnight.</p>
|
|
562
|
+
<p>"Coarse writing," murmured Holmes. "Surely this is not your
|
|
563
|
+
husband’s writing, madam."</p>
|
|
564
|
+
<p>"No, but the enclosure is."</p>
|
|
565
|
+
<p>"I perceive also that whoever addressed the envelope had to go
|
|
566
|
+
and inquire as to the address."</p>
|
|
567
|
+
<p>"How can you tell that?"</p>
|
|
568
|
+
<p>"The name, you see, is in perfectly black ink, which has dried
|
|
569
|
+
itself. The rest is of the greyish colour, which shows that
|
|
570
|
+
blotting-paper has been used. If it had been written straight
|
|
571
|
+
off, and then blotted, none would be of a deep black shade. This
|
|
572
|
+
man has written the name, and there has then been a pause before
|
|
573
|
+
he wrote the address, which can only mean that he was not
|
|
574
|
+
familiar with it. It is, of course, a trifle, but there is
|
|
575
|
+
nothing so important as trifles. Let us now see the letter. Ha!
|
|
576
|
+
there has been an enclosure here!"</p>
|
|
577
|
+
<p>"Yes, there was a ring. His signet-ring."</p>
|
|
578
|
+
<p>"And you are sure that this is your husband’s hand?"</p>
|
|
579
|
+
<p>"One of his hands."</p>
|
|
580
|
+
<p>"One?"</p>
|
|
581
|
+
<p>"His hand when he wrote hurriedly. It is very unlike his usual
|
|
582
|
+
writing, and yet I know it well."</p>

591
|
+
<p>"None. Neville wrote those words."</p>
|
|
592
|
+
<p>"And they were posted to-day at Gravesend. Well, Mrs. St. Clair,
|
|
593
|
+
the clouds lighten, though I should not venture to say that the
|
|
594
|
+
danger is over."</p>
|
|
595
|
+
<p>"But he must be alive, Mr. Holmes."</p>
|
|
596
|
+
<p>"Unless this is a clever forgery to put us on the wrong scent.
|
|
597
|
+
The ring, after all, proves nothing. It may have been taken from
|
|
598
|
+
him."</p>
|
|
599
|
+
<p>"No, no; it is, it is his very own writing!"</p>
|
|
600
|
+
<p>"Very well. It may, however, have been written on Monday and only
|
|
601
|
+
posted to-day."</p>
|
|
602
|
+
<p>"That is possible."</p>
|
|
603
|
+
<p>"If so, much may have happened between."</p>
|
|
604
|
+
<p>"Oh, you must not discourage me, Mr. Holmes. I know that all is
|
|
605
|
+
well with him. There is so keen a sympathy between us that I
|
|
606
|
+
should know if evil came upon him. On the very day that I saw him
|
|
607
|
+
last he cut himself in the bedroom, and yet I in the dining-room
|
|
608
|
+
rushed upstairs instantly with the utmost certainty that
|
|
609
|
+
something had happened. Do you think that I would respond to such
|
|
610
|
+
a trifle and yet be ignorant of his death?"</p>
|
|
611
|
+
<p>"I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman
|
|
612
|
+
may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical
|
|
613
|
+
reasoner. And in this letter you certainly have a very strong
|
|
614
|
+
piece of evidence to corroborate your view. But if your husband
|
|
615
|
+
is alive and able to write letters, why should he remain away
|
|
616
|
+
from you?"</p>
|
|
617
|
+
<p>"I cannot imagine. It is unthinkable."</p>
|
|
618
|
+
<p>"And on Monday he made no remarks before leaving you?"</p>
|
|
619
|
+
<p>"No."</p>
|
|
620
|
+
<p>"And you were surprised to see him in Swandam Lane?"</p>
|
|
621
|
+
<p>"Very much so."</p>
|
|
622
|
+
<p>"Was the window open?"</p>
|
|
623
|
+
<p>"Yes."</p>
|
|
624
|
+
<p>"Then he might have called to you?"</p>
|
|
625
|
+
<p>"He might."</p>
|
|
626
|
+
<p>"He only, as I understand, gave an inarticulate cry?"</p>
|
|
627
|
+
<p>"Yes."</p>
|
|
628
|
+
<p>"A call for help, you thought?"</p>
|
|
629
|
+
<p>"Yes. He waved his hands."</p>
|
|
630
|
+
<p>"But it might have been a cry of surprise. Astonishment at the
|
|
631
|
+
unexpected sight of you might cause him to throw up his hands?"</p>
|
|
632
|
+
<p>"It is possible."</p>
|
|
633
|
+
<p>"And you thought he was pulled back?"</p>
|
|
634
|
+
<p>"He disappeared so suddenly."</p>
|
|
635
|
+
<p>"He might have leaped back. You did not see anyone else in the
|
|
636
|
+
room?"</p>
|
|
637
|
+
<p>"No, but this horrible man confessed to having been there, and
|
|
638
|
+
the Lascar was at the foot of the stairs."</p>
|
|
639
|
+
<p>"Quite so. Your husband, as far as you could see, had his
|
|
640
|
+
ordinary clothes on?"</p>
|
|
641
|
+
<p>"But without his collar or tie. I distinctly saw his bare
|
|
642
|
+
throat."</p>
|
|
643
|
+
<p>"Had he ever spoken of Swandam Lane?"</p>
|
|
644
|
+
<p>"Never."</p>
|
|
645
|
+
<p>"Had he ever showed any signs of having taken opium?"</p>
|
|
646
|
+
<p>"Never."</p>
|
|
647
|
+
<p>"Thank you, Mrs. St. Clair. Those are the principal points about
|
|
648
|
+
which I wished to be absolutely clear. We shall now have a little
|
|
649
|
+
supper and then retire, for we may have a very busy day
|
|
650
|
+
to-morrow."</p>
|
|
651
|
+
<p>A large and comfortable double-bedded room had been placed at our
|
|
652
|
+
disposal, and I was quickly between the sheets, for I was weary
|
|
653
|
+
after my night of adventure. Sherlock Holmes was a man, however,
|
|
654
|
+
who, when he had an unsolved problem upon his mind, would go for
|
|
655
|
+
days, and even for a week, without rest, turning it over,
|
|
656
|
+
rearranging his facts, looking at it from every point of view
|
|
657
|
+
until he had either fathomed it or convinced himself that his
|
|
658
|
+
data were insufficient. It was soon evident to me that he was now
|
|
659
|
+
preparing for an all-night sitting. He took off his coat and
|
|
660
|
+
waistcoat, put on a large blue dressing-gown, and then wandered
|
|
661
|
+
about the room collecting pillows from his bed and cushions from
|
|
662
|
+
the sofa and armchairs. With these he constructed a sort of
|
|
663
|
+
Eastern divan, upon which he perched himself cross-legged, with
|
|
664
|
+
an ounce of shag tobacco and a box of matches laid out in front
|
|
665
|
+
of him. In the dim light of the lamp I saw him sitting there, an
|
|
666
|
+
old briar pipe between his lips, his eyes fixed vacantly upon the
|
|
667
|
+
corner of the ceiling, the blue smoke curling up from him,
|
|
668
|
+
silent, motionless, with the light shining upon his strong-set
|
|
669
|
+
aquiline features. So he sat as I dropped off to sleep, and so he
|
|
670
|
+
sat when a sudden ejaculation caused me to wake up, and I found
|
|
671
|
+
the summer sun shining into the apartment. The pipe was still
|
|
672
|
+
between his lips, the smoke still curled upward, and the room was
|
|
673
|
+
full of a dense tobacco haze, but nothing remained of the heap of
|
|
674
|
+
shag which I had seen upon the previous night.</p>
|
|
675
|
+
<p>"Awake, Watson?" he asked.</p>
|
|
676
|
+
<p>"Yes."</p>
|
|
677
|
+
<p>"Game for a morning drive?"</p>
|
|
678
|
+
<p>"Certainly."</p>
|
|
679
|
+
<p>"Then dress. No one is stirring yet, but I know where the
|
|
680
|
+
stable-boy sleeps, and we shall soon have the trap out." He
|
|
681
|
+
chuckled to himself as he spoke, his eyes twinkled, and he seemed
|
|
682
|
+
a different man to the sombre thinker of the previous night.</p>
|
|
683
|
+
<p>As I dressed I glanced at my watch. It was no wonder that no one
|
|
684
|
+
was stirring. It was twenty-five minutes past four. I had hardly
|
|
685
|
+
finished when Holmes returned with the news that the boy was
|
|
686
|
+
putting in the horse.</p>
|
|
687
|
+
<p>"I want to test a little theory of mine," said he, pulling on his
|
|
688
|
+
boots. "I think, Watson, that you are now standing in the
|
|
689
|
+
presence of one of the most absolute fools in Europe. I deserve
|
|
690
|
+
to be kicked from here to Charing Cross. But I think I have the
|
|
691
|
+
key of the affair now."</p>
|
|
692
|
+
<p>"And where is it?" I asked, smiling.</p>
|
|
693
|
+
<p>"In the bathroom," he answered. "Oh, yes, I am not joking," he
|
|
694
|
+
continued, seeing my look of incredulity. "I have just been
|
|
695
|
+
there, and I have taken it out, and I have got it in this
|
|
696
|
+
Gladstone bag. Come on, my boy, and we shall see whether it will
|
|
697
|
+
not fit the lock."</p>
|
|
698
|
+
<p>We made our way downstairs as quietly as possible, and out into
|
|
699
|
+
the bright morning sunshine. In the road stood our horse and
|
|
700
|
+
trap, with the half-clad stable-boy waiting at the head. We both
|
|
701
|
+
sprang in, and away we dashed down the London Road. A few country
|
|
702
|
+
carts were stirring, bearing in vegetables to the metropolis, but
|
|
703
|
+
the lines of villas on either side were as silent and lifeless as
|
|
704
|
+
some city in a dream.</p>
|
|
705
|
+
<p>"It has been in some points a singular case," said Holmes,
|
|
706
|
+
flicking the horse on into a gallop. "I confess that I have been
|
|
707
|
+
as blind as a mole, but it is better to learn wisdom late than
|
|
708
|
+
never to learn it at all."</p>
|
|
709
|
+
<p>In town the earliest risers were just beginning to look sleepily
|
|
710
|
+
from their windows as we drove through the streets of the Surrey
|
|
711
|
+
side. Passing down the Waterloo Bridge Road we crossed over the
|
|
712
|
+
river, and dashing up Wellington Street wheeled sharply to the
|
|
713
|
+
right and found ourselves in Bow Street. Sherlock Holmes was well
|
|
714
|
+
known to the force, and the two constables at the door saluted
|
|
715
|
+
him. One of them held the horse’s head while the other led us in.</p>
|
|
716
|
+
<p>"Who is on duty?" asked Holmes.</p>
|
|
717
|
+
<p>"Inspector Bradstreet, sir."</p>
|
|
718
|
+
<p>"Ah, Bradstreet, how are you?" A tall, stout official had come
|
|
719
|
+
down the stone-flagged passage, in a peaked cap and frogged
|
|
720
|
+
jacket. "I wish to have a quiet word with you, Bradstreet."
|
|
721
|
+
"Certainly, Mr. Holmes. Step into my room here." It was a small,
|
|
722
|
+
office-like room, with a huge ledger upon the table, and a
|
|
723
|
+
telephone projecting from the wall. The inspector sat down at his
|
|
724
|
+
desk.</p>
|
|
725
|
+
<p>"What can I do for you, Mr. Holmes?"</p>
|
|
726
|
+
<p>"I called about that beggarman, Boone—the one who was charged
|
|
727
|
+
with being concerned in the disappearance of Mr. Neville St.
|
|
728
|
+
Clair, of Lee."</p>
|
|
729
|
+
<p>"Yes. He was brought up and remanded for further inquiries."</p>
|
|
730
|
+
<p>"So I heard. You have him here?"</p>
|
|
731
|
+
<p>"In the cells."</p>
|
|
732
|
+
<p>"Is he quiet?"</p>
|
|
733
|
+
<p>"Oh, he gives no trouble. But he is a dirty scoundrel."</p>
|
|
734
|
+
<p>"Dirty?"</p>
|
|
735
|
+
<p>"Yes, it is all we can do to make him wash his hands, and his
|
|
736
|
+
face is as black as a tinker’s. Well, when once his case has been
|
|
737
|
+
settled, he will have a regular prison bath; and I think, if you
|
|
738
|
+
saw him, you would agree with me that he needed it."</p>
|
|
739
|
+
<p>"I should like to see him very much."</p>
|
|
740
|
+
<p>"Would you? That is easily done. Come this way. You can leave
|
|
741
|
+
your bag."</p>
|
|
742
|
+
<p>"No, I think that I’ll take it."</p>
|
|
743
|
+
<p>"Very good. Come this way, if you please." He led us down a
|
|
744
|
+
passage, opened a barred door, passed down a winding stair, and
|
|
745
|
+
brought us to a whitewashed corridor with a line of doors on each
|
|
746
|
+
side.</p>
|
|
747
|
+
<p>"The third on the right is his," said the inspector. "Here it
|
|
748
|
+
is!" He quietly shot back a panel in the upper part of the door
|
|
749
|
+
and glanced through.</p>
|
|
750
|
+
<p>"He is asleep," said he. "You can see him very well."</p>
|
|
751
|
+
<p>We both put our eyes to the grating. The prisoner lay with his
|
|
752
|
+
face towards us, in a very deep sleep, breathing slowly and
|
|
753
|
+
heavily. He was a middle-sized man, coarsely clad as became his
|
|
754
|
+
calling, with a coloured shirt protruding through the rent in his
|
|
755
|
+
tattered coat. He was, as the inspector had said, extremely
|
|
756
|
+
dirty, but the grime which covered his face could not conceal its
|
|
757
|
+
repulsive ugliness. A broad wheal from an old scar ran right
|
|
758
|
+
across it from eye to chin, and by its contraction had turned up
|
|
759
|
+
one side of the upper lip, so that three teeth were exposed in a
|
|
760
|
+
perpetual snarl. A shock of very bright red hair grew low over
|
|
761
|
+
his eyes and forehead.</p>
|
|
762
|
+
<p>"He’s a beauty, isn’t he?" said the inspector.</p>
|
|
763
|
+
<p>"He certainly needs a wash," remarked Holmes. "I had an idea that
|
|
764
|
+
he might, and I took the liberty of bringing the tools with me."
|
|
765
|
+
He opened the Gladstone bag as he spoke, and took out, to my
|
|
766
|
+
astonishment, a very large bath-sponge.</p>
|
|
767
|
+
<p>"He! he! You are a funny one," chuckled the inspector.</p>
|
|
768
|
+
<p>"Now, if you will have the great goodness to open that door very
|
|
769
|
+
quietly, we will soon make him cut a much more respectable
|
|
770
|
+
figure."</p>
|
|
771
|
+
<p>"Well, I don’t know why not," said the inspector. "He doesn’t
|
|
772
|
+
look a credit to the Bow Street cells, does he?" He slipped his
|
|
773
|
+
key into the lock, and we all very quietly entered the cell. The
|
|
774
|
+
sleeper half turned, and then settled down once more into a deep
|
|
775
|
+
slumber. Holmes stooped to the water-jug, moistened his sponge,
|
|
776
|
+
and then rubbed it twice vigorously across and down the
|
|
777
|
+
prisoner’s face.</p>
|
|
778
|
+
<p>"Let me introduce you," he shouted, "to Mr. Neville St. Clair, of
|
|
779
|
+
Lee, in the county of Kent."</p>
|
|
780
|
+
<p>Never in my life have I seen such a sight. The man’s face peeled
|
|
781
|
+
off under the sponge like the bark from a tree. Gone was the
|
|
782
|
+
coarse brown tint! Gone, too, was the horrid scar which had
|
|
783
|
+
seamed it across, and the twisted lip which had given the
|
|
784
|
+
repulsive sneer to the face! A twitch brought away the tangled
|
|
785
|
+
red hair, and there, sitting up in his bed, was a pale,
|
|
786
|
+
sad-faced, refined-looking man, black-haired and smooth-skinned,
|
|
787
|
+
rubbing his eyes and staring about him with sleepy bewilderment.
|
|
788
|
+
Then suddenly realising the exposure, he broke into a scream and
|
|
789
|
+
threw himself down with his face to the pillow.</p>
|
|
790
|
+
<p>"Great heavens!" cried the inspector, "it is, indeed, the missing
|
|
791
|
+
man. I know him from the photograph."</p>
|
|
792
|
+
<p>The prisoner turned with the reckless air of a man who abandons
|
|
793
|
+
himself to his destiny. "Be it so," said he. "And pray what am I
|
|
794
|
+
charged with?"</p>
|
|
795
|
+
<p>"With making away with Mr. Neville St.-- Oh, come, you can’t be
|
|
796
|
+
charged with that unless they make a case of attempted suicide of
|
|
797
|
+
it," said the inspector with a grin. "Well, I have been
|
|
798
|
+
twenty-seven years in the force, but this really takes the cake."</p>
|
|
799
|
+
<p>"If I am Mr. Neville St. Clair, then it is obvious that no crime
|
|
800
|
+
has been committed, and that, therefore, I am illegally
|
|
801
|
+
detained."</p>
|
|
802
|
+
<p>"No crime, but a very great error has been committed," said
|
|
803
|
+
Holmes. "You would have done better to have trusted your wife."</p>
|
|
804
|
+
<p>"It was not the wife; it was the children," groaned the prisoner.
|
|
805
|
+
"God help me, I would not have them ashamed of their father. My
|
|
806
|
+
God! What an exposure! What can I do?"</p>
|
|
807
|
+
<p>Sherlock Holmes sat down beside him on the couch and patted him
|
|
808
|
+
kindly on the shoulder.</p>
|
|
809
|
+
<p>"If you leave it to a court of law to clear the matter up," said
|
|
810
|
+
he, "of course you can hardly avoid publicity. On the other hand,
|
|
811
|
+
if you convince the police authorities that there is no possible
|
|
812
|
+
case against you, I do not know that there is any reason that the
|
|
813
|
+
details should find their way into the papers. Inspector
|
|
814
|
+
Bradstreet would, I am sure, make notes upon anything which you
|
|
815
|
+
might tell us and submit it to the proper authorities. The case
|
|
816
|
+
would then never go into court at all."</p>
|
|
817
|
+
<p>"God bless you!" cried the prisoner passionately. "I would have
|
|
818
|
+
endured imprisonment, ay, even execution, rather than have left
|
|
819
|
+
my miserable secret as a family blot to my children.</p>
|
|
820
|
+
<p>"You are the first who have ever heard my story. My father was a
|
|
821
|
+
schoolmaster in Chesterfield, where I received an excellent
|
|
822
|
+
education. I travelled in my youth, took to the stage, and
|
|
823
|
+
finally became a reporter on an evening paper in London. One day
|
|
824
|
+
my editor wished to have a series of articles upon begging in the
|
|
825
|
+
metropolis, and I volunteered to supply them. There was the point
|
|
826
|
+
from which all my adventures started. It was only by trying
|
|
827
|
+
begging as an amateur that I could get the facts upon which to
|
|
828
|
+
base my articles. When an actor I had, of course, learned all the
|
|
829
|
+
secrets of making up, and had been famous in the green-room for
|
|
830
|
+
my skill. I took advantage now of my attainments. I painted my
|
|
831
|
+
face, and to make myself as pitiable as possible I made a good
|
|
832
|
+
scar and fixed one side of my lip in a twist by the aid of a
|
|
833
|
+
small slip of flesh-coloured plaster. Then with a red head of
|
|
834
|
+
hair, and an appropriate dress, I took my station in the business
|
|
835
|
+
part of the city, ostensibly as a match-seller but really as a
|
|
836
|
+
beggar. For seven hours I plied my trade, and when I returned
|
|
837
|
+
home in the evening I found to my surprise that I had received no
|
|
838
|
+
less than 26s. 4d.</p>
|
|
839
|
+
<p>"I wrote my articles and thought little more of the matter until,
|
|
840
|
+
some time later, I backed a bill for a friend and had a writ
|
|
841
|
+
served upon me for 25 pounds. I was at my wit’s end where to get
|
|
842
|
+
the money, but a sudden idea came to me. I begged a fortnight’s
|
|
843
|
+
grace from the creditor, asked for a holiday from my employers,
|
|
844
|
+
and spent the time in begging in the City under my disguise. In
|
|
845
|
+
ten days I had the money and had paid the debt.</p>
|
|
846
|
+
<p>"Well, you can imagine how hard it was to settle down to arduous
|
|
847
|
+
work at 2 pounds a week when I knew that I could earn as much in
|
|
848
|
+
a day by smearing my face with a little paint, laying my cap on
|
|
849
|
+
the ground, and sitting still. It was a long fight between my
|
|
850
|
+
pride and the money, but the dollars won at last, and I threw up
|
|
851
|
+
reporting and sat day after day in the corner which I had first
|
|
852
|
+
chosen, inspiring pity by my ghastly face and filling my pockets
|
|
853
|
+
with coppers. Only one man knew my secret. He was the keeper of a
|
|
854
|
+
low den in which I used to lodge in Swandam Lane, where I could
|
|
855
|
+
every morning emerge as a squalid beggar and in the evenings
|
|
856
|
+
transform myself into a well-dressed man about town. This fellow,
|
|
857
|
+
a Lascar, was well paid by me for his rooms, so that I knew that
|
|
858
|
+
my secret was safe in his possession.</p>
|
|
859
|
+
<p>"Well, very soon I found that I was saving considerable sums of
|
|
860
|
+
money. I do not mean that any beggar in the streets of London
|
|
861
|
+
could earn 700 pounds a year—which is less than my average
|
|
862
|
+
takings—but I had exceptional advantages in my power of making
|
|
863
|
+
up, and also in a facility of repartee, which improved by
|
|
864
|
+
practice and made me quite a recognised character in the City.
|
|
865
|
+
All day a stream of pennies, varied by silver, poured in upon me,
|
|
866
|
+
and it was a very bad day in which I failed to take 2 pounds.</p>
|
|
867
|
+
<p>"As I grew richer I grew more ambitious, took a house in the
|
|
868
|
+
country, and eventually married, without anyone having a
|
|
869
|
+
suspicion as to my real occupation. My dear wife knew that I had
|
|
870
|
+
business in the City. She little knew what.</p>
|
|
871
|
+
<p>"Last Monday I had finished for the day and was dressing in my
|
|
872
|
+
room above the opium den when I looked out of my window and saw,
|
|
873
|
+
to my horror and astonishment, that my wife was standing in the
|
|
874
|
+
street, with her eyes fixed full upon me. I gave a cry of
|
|
875
|
+
surprise, threw up my arms to cover my face, and, rushing to my
|
|
876
|
+
confidant, the Lascar, entreated him to prevent anyone from
|
|
877
|
+
coming up to me. I heard her voice downstairs, but I knew that
|
|
878
|
+
she could not ascend. Swiftly I threw off my clothes, pulled on
|
|
879
|
+
those of a beggar, and put on my pigments and wig. Even a wife’s
|
|
880
|
+
eyes could not pierce so complete a disguise. But then it
|
|
881
|
+
occurred to me that there might be a search in the room, and that
|
|
882
|
+
the clothes might betray me. I threw open the window, reopening
|
|
883
|
+
by my violence a small cut which I had inflicted upon myself in
|
|
884
|
+
the bedroom that morning. Then I seized my coat, which was
|
|
885
|
+
weighted by the coppers which I had just transferred to it from
|
|
886
|
+
the leather bag in which I carried my takings. I hurled it out of
|
|
887
|
+
the window, and it disappeared into the Thames. The other clothes
|
|
888
|
+
would have followed, but at that moment there was a rush of
|
|
889
|
+
constables up the stair, and a few minutes after I found, rather,
|
|
890
|
+
I confess, to my relief, that instead of being identified as Mr.
|
|
891
|
+
Neville St. Clair, I was arrested as his murderer.</p>
|
|
892
|
+
<p>"I do not know that there is anything else for me to explain. I
|
|
893
|
+
was determined to preserve my disguise as long as possible, and
|
|
894
|
+
hence my preference for a dirty face. Knowing that my wife would
|
|
895
|
+
be terribly anxious, I slipped off my ring and confided it to the
|
|
896
|
+
Lascar at a moment when no constable was watching me, together
|
|
897
|
+
with a hurried scrawl, telling her that she had no cause to
|
|
898
|
+
fear."</p>
|
|
899
|
+
<p>"That note only reached her yesterday," said Holmes.</p>
|
|
900
|
+
<p>"Good God! What a week she must have spent!"</p>
|
|
901
|
+
<p>"The police have watched this Lascar," said Inspector Bradstreet,
|
|
902
|
+
"and I can quite understand that he might find it difficult to
|
|
903
|
+
post a letter unobserved. Probably he handed it to some sailor
|
|
904
|
+
customer of his, who forgot all about it for some days."</p>
|
|
905
|
+
<p>"That was it," said Holmes, nodding approvingly; "I have no doubt
|
|
906
|
+
of it. But have you never been prosecuted for begging?"</p>
|
|
907
|
+
<p>"Many times; but what was a fine to me?"</p>
|
|
908
|
+
<p>"It must stop here, however," said Bradstreet. "If the police are
|
|
909
|
+
to hush this thing up, there must be no more of Hugh Boone."</p>
|
|
910
|
+
<p>"I have sworn it by the most solemn oaths which a man can take."</p>
|
|
911
|
+
<p>"In that case I think that it is probable that no further steps
|
|
912
|
+
may be taken. But if you are found again, then all must come out.
|
|
913
|
+
I am sure, Mr. Holmes, that we are very much indebted to you for
|
|
914
|
+
having cleared the matter up. I wish I knew how you reach your
|
|
915
|
+
results."</p>
|
|
916
|
+
<p>"I reached this one," said my friend, "by sitting upon five
|
|
917
|
+
pillows and consuming an ounce of shag. I think, Watson, that if
|
|
918
|
+
we drive to Baker Street we shall just be in time for breakfast."</p>
