<s> QUOTE BUT WHY TURKISH QUOTE ASKED MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES GAZING FIXEDLY AT MY BOOTS </s>
<s> I WAS RECLINING IN A CANE BACKED CHAIR AT THE MOMENT AND MY PROTRUDED FEET HAD ATTRACTED HIS EVER ACTIVE ATTENTION </s>
<s> ENGLISH I ANSWERED IN SOME SURPRISE </s>
<s> I GOT THEM AT LATIMER'S IN OXFORD STREET </s>
<s> HOLMES SMILED WITH AN EXPRESSION OF WEARY PATIENCE </s>
<s> THE BATH HE SAID THE BATH </s>
<s> WHY THE RELAXING AND EXPENSIVE TURKISH RATHER THAN THE INVIGORATING HOME MADE ARTICLE </s>
<s> BECAUSE FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE BEEN FEELING RHEUMATIC AND OLD </s>
<s> A TURKISH BATH IS WHAT WE CALL AN ALTERATIVE IN MEDICINE A FRESH STARTING POINT A CLEANSER OF THE SYSTEM </s>
<s> QUOTE BY THE WAY HOLMES QUOTE I ADDED QUOTE I HAVE NO DOUBT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MY BOOTS AND A TURKISH BATH IS A PERFECTLY SELF EVIDENT ONE TO A LOGICAL MIND AND YET I SHOULD BE OBLIGED TO YOU IF YOU WOULD INDICATE IT QUOTE </s>
<s> THE TRAIN OF REASONING IS NOT VERY OBSCURE WATSON SAID HOLMES WITH A MISCHIEVOUS TWINKLE </s>
<s> IT BELONGS TO THE SAME ELEMENTARY CLASS OF DEDUCTION WHICH I SHOULD ILLUSTRATE IF I WERE TO ASK YOU WHO SHARED YOUR CAB IN YOUR DRIVE THIS MORNING </s>
<s> I DON'T ADMIT THAT A FRESH ILLUSTRATION IS AN EXPLANATION SAID I WITH SOME ASPERITY </s>
<s> BRAVO WATSON </s>
<s> A VERY DIGNIFIED AND LOGICAL REMONSTRANCE </s>
<s> LET ME SEE WHAT WERE THE POINTS </s>
<s> TAKE THE LAST ONE FIRST THE CAB </s>
<s> YOU OBSERVE THAT YOU HAVE SOME SPLASHES ON THE LEFT SLEEVE AND SHOULDER OF YOUR COAT </s>
<s> HAD YOU SAT IN THE CENTRE OF A HANSOM YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE HAD NO SPLASHES AND IF YOU HAD THEY WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN SYMMETRICAL </s>
<s> THEREFORE IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU SAT AT THE SIDE </s>
<s> THEREFORE IT IS EQUALLY CLEAR THAT YOU HAD A COMPANION </s>
<s> QUOTE THAT IS VERY EVIDENT QUOTE </s>
<s> ABSURDLY COMMONPLACE IS IT NOT </s>
<s> BUT THE BOOTS AND THE BATH </s>
<s> EQUALLY CHILDISH </s>
<s> YOU ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING UP YOUR BOOTS IN A CERTAIN WAY </s>
<s> I SEE THEM ON THIS OCCASION FASTENED WITH AN ELABORATE DOUBLE BOW WHICH IS NOT YOUR USUAL METHOD OF TYING THEM </s>
<s> YOU HAVE THEREFORE HAD THEM OFF </s>
<s> WHO HAS TIED THEM </s>
<s> A BOOTMAKER OR THE BOY AT THE BATH </s>
<s> IT IS UNLIKELY THAT IT IS THE BOOTMAKER SINCE YOUR BOOTS ARE NEARLY NEW </s>
<s> WELL WHAT REMAINS </s>
<s> THE BATH </s>
<s> ABSURD IS IT NOT </s>
<s> BUT FOR ALL THAT THE TURKISH BATH HAS SERVED A PURPOSE </s>
<s> WHAT IS THAT </s>
<s> QUOTE YOU SAY THAT YOU HAVE HAD IT BECAUSE YOU NEED A CHANGE </s>
<s> LET ME SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE ONE </s>
<s> HOW WOULD LAUSANNE DO MY DEAR WATSON FIRST CLASS TICKETS AND ALL EXPENSES PAID ON A PRINCELY SCALE </s>
<s> SPLENDID </s>
<s> BUT WHY </s>
<s> HOLMES LEANED BACK IN HIS ARMCHAIR AND TOOK HIS NOTEBOOK FROM HIS POCKET </s>
<s> ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CLASSES IN THE WORLD SAID HE IS THE DRIFTING AND FRIENDLESS WOMAN </s>
<s> SHE IS THE MOST HARMLESS AND OFTEN THE MOST USEFUL OF MORTALS BUT SHE IS THE INEVITABLE INCITER OF CRIME IN OTHERS </s>
<s> SHE IS HELPLESS </s>
<s> SHE IS MIGRATORY </s>
<s> SHE HAS SUFFICIENT MEANS TO TAKE HER FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY AND FROM HOTEL TO HOTEL </s>
<s> SHE IS LOST AS OFTEN AS NOT IN A MAZE OF OBSCURE PENSIONS AND BOARDING HOUSES </s>
<s> SHE IS A STRAY CHICKEN IN A WORLD OF FOXES </s>
<s> WHEN SHE IS GOBBLED UP SHE IS HARDLY MISSED </s>
<s> I MUCH FEAR THAT SOME EVIL HAS COME TO THE LADY FRANCES CARFAX </s>
<s> I WAS RELIEVED AT THIS SUDDEN DESCENT FROM THE GENERAL TO THE PARTICULAR </s>
<s> HOLMES CONSULTED HIS NOTES </s>
<s> QUOTE LADY FRANCES QUOTE HE CONTINUED QUOTE IS THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF THE DIRECT FAMILY OF THE LATE EARL OF RUFTON </s>
<s> THE ESTATES WENT AS YOU MAY REMEMBER IN THE MALE LINE </s>
<s> SHE WAS LEFT WITH LIMITED MEANS BUT WITH SOME VERY REMARKABLE OLD SPANISH JEWELLERY OF SILVER AND CURIOUSLY CUT DIAMONDS TO WHICH SHE WAS FONDLY ATTACHED TOO ATTACHED FOR SHE REFUSED TO LEAVE THEM WITH HER BANKER AND ALWAYS CARRIED THEM ABOUT WITH HER </s>
<s> A RATHER PATHETIC FIGURE THE LADY FRANCES A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN STILL IN FRESH MIDDLE AGE AND YET BY A STRANGE CHANCE THE LAST DERELICT OF WHAT ONLY TWENTY YEARS AGO WAS A GOODLY FLEET </s>
<s> WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HER THEN </s>
<s> AH WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LADY FRANCES </s>
<s> IS SHE ALIVE OR DEAD </s>
<s> THERE IS OUR PROBLEM </s>
<s> SHE IS A LADY OF PRECISE HABITS AND FOR FOUR YEARS IT HAS BEEN HER INVARIABLE CUSTOM TO WRITE EVERY SECOND WEEK TO MISS DOBNEY HER OLD GOVERNESS WHO HAS LONG RETIRED AND LIVES IN CAMBERWELL </s>
<s> IT IS THIS MISS DOBNEY WHO HAS CONSULTED ME </s>
<s> NEARLY FIVE WEEKS HAVE PASSED WITHOUT A WORD </s>
<s> THE LAST LETTER WAS FROM THE HOTEL NATIONAL AT LAUSANNE </s>
<s> LADY FRANCES SEEMS TO HAVE LEFT THERE AND GIVEN NO ADDRESS </s>
<s> THE FAMILY ARE ANXIOUS AND AS THEY ARE EXCEEDINGLY WEALTHY NO SUM WLLL BE SPARED IF WE CAN CLEAR THE MATTER UP </s>
<s> IS MISS DOBNEY THE ONLY SOURCE OF INFORMATION </s>
<s> SURELY SHE HAD OTHER CORRESPONDENTS QUOTE </s>
<s> THERE IS ONE CORRESPONDENT WHO IS A SURE DRAW WATSON </s>
<s> THAT IS THE BANK </s>
<s> SINGLE LADIES MUST LIVE AND THEIR PASSBOOKS ARE COMPRESSED DIARIES </s>
<s> SHE BANKS AT SILVESTER'S </s>
<s> I HAVE GLANCED OVER HER ACCOUNT </s>
<s> THE LAST CHECK BUT ONE PAID HER BILL AT LAUSANNE BUT IT WAS A LARGE ONE AND PROBABLY LEFT HER WITH CASH IN HAND </s>
<s> ONLY ONE CHECK HAS BEEN DRAWN SINCE </s>
<s> TO WHOM AND WHERE </s>
<s> TO MISS MARIE DEVINE </s>
<s> THERE IS NOTHING TO SHOW WHERE THE CHECK WAS DRAWN </s>
<s> IT WAS CASHED AT THE CREDIT LYONNAIS AT MONTPELLIER LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AGO </s>
<s> THE SUM WAS FIFTY POUNDS </s>
<s> QUOTE AND WHO IS MISS MARIE DEVINE QUOTE </s>
<s> THAT ALSO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER </s>
<s> MISS MARIE DEVINE WAS THE MAID OF LADY FRANCES CARFAX </s>
<s> WHY SHE SHOULD HAVE PAID HER THIS CHECK WE HAVE NOT YET DETERMINED </s>
<s> I HAVE NO DOUBT HOWEVER THAT YOUR RESEARCHES WILL SOON CLEAR THE MATTER UP </s>
<s> MY RESEARCHES </s>
<s> HENCE THE HEALTH GIVING EXPEDITION TO LAUSANNE </s>
<s> YOU KNOW THAT I CANNOT POSSIBLY LEAVE LONDON WHILE OLD ABRAHAMS IS IN SUCH MORTAL TERROR OF HIS LIFE </s>
<s> BESIDES ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES IT IS BEST THAT I SHOULD NOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY </s>
<s> SCOTLAND YARD FEELS LONELY WITHOUT ME AND IT CAUSES AN UNHEALTHY EXCITEMENT AMONG THE CRIMINAL CLASSES </s>
<s> GO THEN MY DEAR WATSON AND IF MY HUMBLE COUNSEL CAN EVER BE VALUED AT SO EXTRAVAGANT A RATE AS TWO PENCE A WORD IT WAITS YOUR DISPOSAL NIGHT AND DAY AT THE END OF THE CONTINENTAL WIRE </s>
<s> TWO DAYS LATER FOUND ME AT THE HOTEL NATIONAL AT LAUSANNE WHERE I RECEIVED EVERY COURTESY AT THE HANDS OF M. MOSER THE WELL KNOWN MANAGER </s>
<s> LADY FRANCES AS HE INFORMED ME HAD STAYED THERE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS </s>
<s> SHE HAD BEEN MUCH LIKED BY ALL WHO MET HER </s>
<s> HER AGE WAS NOT MORE THAN FORTY </s>
<s> SHE WAS STILL HANDSOME AND BORE EVERY SIGN OF HAVING IN HER YOUTH BEEN A VERY LOVELY WOMAN </s>
<s> M. MOSER KNEW NOTHING OF ANY VALUABLE JEWELLERY BUT IT HAD BEEN REMARKED BY THE SERVANTS THAT THE HEAVY TRUNK IN THE LADY'S BEDROOM WAS ALWAYS SCRUPULOUSLY LOCKED </s>
<s> MARIE DEVINE THE MAID WAS AS POPULAR AS HER MISTRESS </s>
<s> SHE WAS ACTUALLY ENGAGED TO ONE OF THE HEAD WAITERS IN THE HOTEL AND THERE WAS NO DIFFICULTY IN GETTING HER ADDRESS </s>
<s> IT WAS ELEVEN RUE DE TRAJAN MONTPELLIER </s>
<s> ALL THIS I JOTTED DOWN AND FELT THAT HOLMES HIMSELF COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE ADROIT IN COLLECTING HIS FACTS </s>
<s> ONLY ONE CORNER STILL REMAINED IN THE SHADOW </s>
<s> NO LIGHT WHICH I POSSESSED COULD CLEAR UP THE CAUSE FOR THE LADY'S SUDDEN DEPARTURE </s>
<s> SHE WAS VERY HAPPY AT LAUSANNE </s>
<s> THERE WAS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT SHE INTENDED TO REMAIN FOR THE SEASON IN HER LUXURIOUS ROOMS OVERLOOKING THE LAKE </s>
<s> AND YET SHE HAD LEFT AT A SINGLE DAY'S NOTICE WHICH INVOLVED HER IN THE USELESS PAYMENT OF A WEEK'S RENT </s>
<s> ONLY JULES VIBART THE LOVER OF THE MAID HAD ANY SUGGESTION TO OFFER </s>
<s> HE CONNECTED THE SUDDEN DEPARTURE WITH THE VISIT TO THE HOTEL A DAY OR TWO BEFORE OF A TALL DARK BEARDED MAN </s>
<s> QUOTE UN SAUVAGE UN VERITABLE SAUVAGE QUOTE CRIED JULES VIBART </s>
<s> THE MAN HAD ROOMS SOMEWHERE IN THE TOWN </s>
<s> HE HAD BEEN SEEN TALKING EARNESTLY TO MADAME ON THE PROMENADE BY THE LAKE </s>
<s> THEN HE HAD CALLED </s>
<s> SHE HAD REFUSED TO SEE HIM </s>
<s> HE WAS ENGLISH BUT OF HIS NAME THERE WAS NO RECORD </s>
<s> MADAME HAD LEFT THE PLACE IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS </s>
<s> JULES VIBART AND WHAT WAS OF MORE IMPORTANCE JULES VIBART'S SWEETHEART THOUGHT THAT THIS CALL AND THIS DEPARTURE WERE CAUSE AND EFFECT </s>
<s> ONLY ONE THING JULES WOULD NOT DISCUSS </s>
<s> THAT WAS THE REASON WHY MARIE HAD LEFT HER MISTRESS </s>
<s> OF THAT HE COULD OR WOULD SAY NOTHING </s>
<s> IF I WISHED TO KNOW I MUST GO TO MONTPELLIER AND ASK HER </s>
<s> SO ENDED THE FIRST CHAPTER OF MY INQUIRY </s>
<s> THE SECOND WAS DEVOTED TO THE PLACE WHICH LADY FRANCES CARFAX HAD SOUGHT WHEN SHE LEFT LAUSANNE </s>
<s> CONCERNING THIS THERE HAD BEEN SOME SECRECY WHICH CONFIRMED THE IDEA THAT SHE HAD GONE WITH THE INTENTION OF THROWING SOMEONE OFF HER TRACK </s>
<s> OTHERWISE WHY SHOULD NOT HER LUGGAGE HAVE BEEN OPENLY LABELLED FOR BADEN </s>
<s> BOTH SHE AND IT REACHED THE RHENISH SPA BY SOME CIRCUITOUS ROUTE </s>
<s> THIS MUCH I GATHERED FROM THE MANAGER OF COOK'S LOCAL OFFICE </s>
<s> SO TO BADEN I WENT AFTER DISPATCHING TO HOLMES AN ACCOUNT OF ALL MY PROCEEDINGS AND RECEIVING IN REPLY A TELEGRAM OF HALF HUMOROUS COMMENDATION </s>
<s> AT BADEN THE TRACK WAS NOT DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW </s>
<s> LADY FRANCES HAD STAYED AT THE ENGLISCHER HOF FOR A FORTNIGHT </s>
<s> WHILE THERE SHE HAD MADE THE ACQUAINTANCE OF A DOCTOR SHLESSINGER AND HIS WIFE A MISSIONARY FROM SOUTH AMERICA </s>
<s> LIKE MOST LONELY LADIES LADY FRANCES FOUND HER COMFORT AND OCCUPATION IN RELIGION </s>
<s> DOCTOR SHLESSINGER'S REMARKABLE PERSONALITY HIS WHOLE HEARTED DEVOTION AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS RECOVERING FROM A DISEASE CONTRACTED IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS APOSTOLIC DUTIES AFFECTED HER DEEPLY </s>
<s> SHE HAD HELPED MRS. SHLESSINGER IN THE NURSING OF THE CONVALESCENT SAINT </s>
<s> HE SPENT HIS DAY AS THE MANAGER DESCRIBED IT TO ME UPON A LOUNGE CHAIR ON THE VERANDA WITH AN ATTENDANT LADY UPON EITHER SIDE OF HIM </s>
<s> HE WAS PREPARING A MAP OF THE HOLY LAND WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE KINGDOM OF THE MIDIANITES UPON WHICH HE WAS WRITING A MONOGRAPH </s>
<s> FINALLY HAVING IMPROVED MUCH IN HEALTH HE AND HIS WIFE HAD RETURNED TO LONDON AND LADY FRANCES HAD STARTED THITHER IN THEIR COMPANY </s>
<s> THIS WAS JUST THREE WEEKS BEFORE AND THE MANAGER HAD HEARD NOTHING SINCE </s>
<s> AS TO THE MAID MARIE SHE HAD GONE OFF SOME DAYS BEFOREHAND IN FLOODS OF TEARS AFTER INFORMING THE OTHER MAIDS THAT SHE WAS LEAVING SERVICE FOREVER </s>
<s> DOCTOR SHLESSINGER HAD PAID THE BILL OF THE WHOLE PARTY BEFORE HIS DEPARTURE </s>
<s> BY THE WAY SAID THE LANDLORD IN CONCLUSION YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY FRIEND OF LADY FRANCES CARFAX WHO IS INQUIRING AFTER HER JUST NOW </s>
<s> ONLY A WEEK OR SO AGO WE HAD A MAN HERE UPON THE SAME ERRAND </s>
<s> DID HE GIVE A NAME </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> NONE BUT HE WAS AN ENGLISHMAN THOUGH OF AN UNUSUAL TYPE </s>
<s> A SAVAGE SAID I LINKING MY FACTS AFTER THE FASHION OF MY ILLUSTRIOUS FRIEND </s>
<s> QUOTE EXACTLY </s>
<s> THAT DESCRIBES HIM VERY WELL </s>
<s> HE IS A BULKY BEARDED SUNBURNED FELLOW WHO LOOKS AS IF HE WOULD BE MORE AT HOME IN A FARMERS' INN THAN IN A FASHIONABLE HOTEL </s>
<s> A HARD FIERCE MAN I SHOULD THINK AND ONE WHOM I SHOULD BE SORRY TO OFFEND </s>
<s> ALREADY THE MYSTERY BEGAN TO DEFINE ITSELF AS FIGURES GROW CLEARER WITH THE LIFTING OF A FOG </s>
