<s> IT WAS WITH HIS BARMAID WIFE THAT HE HAD SPENT THE LAST THREE DAYS IN BRISTOL AND HIS FATHER DID NOT KNOW WHERE HE WAS </s>
<s> MARK THAT POINT </s>
<s> IT IS OF IMPORTANCE </s>
<s> GOOD HAS COME OUT OF EVIL HOWEVER FOR THE BARMAID FINDING FROM THE PAPERS THAT HE IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AND LIKELY TO BE HANGED HAS THROWN HIM OVER UTTERLY AND HAS WRITTEN TO HIM TO SAY THAT SHE HAS A HUSBAND ALREADY IN THE BERMUDA DOCKYARD SO THAT THERE IS REALLY NO TIE BETWEEN THEM </s>
<s> I THINK THAT THAT BIT OF NEWS HAS CONSOLED YOUNG MCCARTHY FOR ALL THAT HE HAS SUFFERED </s>
<s> QUOTE BUT IF HE IS INNOCENT WHO HAS DONE IT QUOTE </s>
<s> AH WHO </s>
<s> I WOULD CALL YOUR ATTENTION VERY PARTICULARLY TO TWO POINTS </s>
<s> ONE IS THAT THE MURDERED MAN HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH SOMEONE AT THE POOL AND THAT THE SOMEONE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIS SON FOR HIS SON WAS AWAY AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHEN HE WOULD RETURN </s>
<s> THE SECOND IS THAT THE MURDERED MAN WAS HEARD TO CRY COOEE BEFORE HE KNEW THAT HIS SON HAD RETURNED </s>
<s> THOSE ARE THE CRUCIAL POINTS UPON WHICH THE CASE DEPENDS </s>
<s> AND NOW LET US TALK ABOUT GEORGE MEREDITH IF YOU PLEASE AND WE SHALL LEAVE ALL MINOR MATTERS UNTIL TO MORROW </s>
<s> THERE WAS NO RAIN AS HOLMES HAD FORETOLD AND THE MORNING BROKE BRIGHT AND CLOUDLESS </s>
<s> AT NINE O'CLOCK LESTRADE CALLED FOR US WITH THE CARRIAGE AND WE SET OFF FOR HATHERLEY FARM AND THE BOSCOMBE POOL </s>
<s> THERE IS SERIOUS NEWS THIS MORNING LESTRADE OBSERVED </s>
<s> IT IS SAID THAT MR. TURNER OF THE HALL IS SO ILL THAT HIS LIFE IS DESPAIRED OF </s>
<s> AN ELDERLY MAN I PRESUME SAILD HOLMES </s>
<s> QUOTE ABOUT SIXTY BUT HIS CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN SHATTERED BY HIS LIFE ABROAD AND HE HAS BEEN IN FAILING HEALTH FOR SOME TIME </s>
<s> THIS BUSINESS HAS HAD A VERY BAD EFFECT UPON HIM </s>
<s> HE WAS AN OLD FRIEND OF MCCARTHY'S AND I MAY ADD A GREAT BENEFACTOR TO HIM FOR I HAVE LEARNED THAT HE GAVE HIM HATHERLEY FARM RENT FREE </s>
<s> INDEED </s>
<s> THAT IS INTERESTING SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> OH YES </s>
<s> IN A HUNDRED OTHER WAYS HE HAS HELPED HIM </s>
<s> EVERYBODY ABOUT HERE SPEAKS OF HIS KINDNESS TO HIM </s>
<s> QUOTE REALLY </s>
<s> DOES IT NOT STRIKE YOU AS A LITTLE SINGULAR THAT THIS MCCARTHY WHO APPEARS TO HAVE HAD LITTLE OF HIS OWN AND TO HAVE BEEN UNDER SUCH OBLIGATIONS TO TURNER SHOULD STILL TALK OF MARRYING HIS SON TO TURNER'S DAUGHTER WHO IS PRESUMABLY HEIRESS TO THE ESTATE AND THAT IN SUCH A VERY COCKSURE MANNER AS IF IT WERE MERELY A CASE OF A PROPOSAL AND ALL ELSE WOULD FOLLOW </s>
<s> IT IS THE MORE STRANGE SINCE WE KNOW THAT TURNER HIMSELF WAS AVERSE TO THE IDEA </s>
<s> THE DAUGHTER TOLD US AS MUCH </s>
<s> DO YOU NOT DEDUCE SOMETHING FROM THAT </s>
<s> WE HAVE GOT TO THE DEDUCTIONS AND THE INFERENCES SAID LESTRADE WINKING AT ME </s>
<s> I FIND IT HARD ENOUGH TO TACKLE FACTS HOLMES WITHOUT FLYING AWAY AFTER THEORIES AND FANCIES </s>
<s> YOU ARE RIGHT SAID HOLMES DEMURELY YOU DO FIND IT VERY HARD TO TACKLE THE FACTS </s>
<s> ANYHOW I HAVE GRASPED ONE FACT WHICH YOU SEEM TO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO GET HOLD OF REPLIED LESBIADE WITH SOME WARMTH </s>
<s> QUOTE THAT MCCARTHY SENIOR MET HIS DEATH FROM MCCARTHY JUNIOR AND THAT ALL THEORIES TO THE CONTRARY ARE THE MEREST MOONSHINE QUOTE </s>
<s> WELL MOONSHINE IS A BRIGHTER THING THAN FOG SAID HOLMES LAUGHING </s>
<s> BUT I AM VERY MUCH MISTAKEN IF THIS IS NOT HATHERLEY FARM UPON THE LEFT </s>
<s> YES THAT IS IT </s>
<s> IT WAS A WIDESPREAD COMFORTABLE LOOKING BUILDING TWO STORIED SLATE ROOFED WITH GREAT YELLOW BLOTCHES OF LICHEN UPON THE GRAY WALLS </s>
<s> THE DRAWN BLINDS AND THE SMOKELESS CHIMNEYS HOWEVER GAVE IT A STRICKEN LOOK AS THOUGH THE WEIGHT OF THIS HORROR STILL LAY HEAVY UPON IT </s>
<s> WE CALLED AT THE DOOR WHEN THE MAID AT HOLMES'S REQUEST SHOWED US THE BOOTS WHICH HER MASTER WORE AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH AND ALSO A PAIR OF THE SON'S THOUGH NOT THE PAIR WHICH HE HAD THEN HAD </s>
<s> HAVING MEASURED THESE VERY CAREFULLY FROM SEVEN OR EIGHT DIFFERENT POINTS HOLMES DESIRED TO BE LED TO THE COURT YARD FROM WHICH WE ALL FOLLOWED THE WINDING TRACK WHICH LED TO BOSCOMBE POOL </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES WAS TRANSFORMED WHEN HE WAS HOT UPON SUCH A SCENT AS THIS </s>
<s> MEN WHO HAD ONLY KNOWN THE QUIET THINKER AND LOGICIAN OF BAKER STREET WOULD HAVE FAILED TO RECOGNIZE HIM </s>
<s> HIS FACE FLUSHED AND DARKENED </s>
<s> HIS BROWS WERE DRAWN INTO TWO HARD BLACK LINES WHILE HIS EYES SHONE OUT FROM BENEATH THEM WITH A STEELY GLITTER </s>
<s> HIS FACE WAS BENT DOWNWARD HIS SHOULDERS BOWED HIS LIPS COMPRESSED AND THE VEINS STOOD OUT LIKE WHIPCORD IN HIS LONG SINEWY NECK </s>
<s> HIS NOSTRILS SEEMED TO DILATE WITH A PURELY ANIMAL LUST FOR THE CHASE AND HIS MIND WAS SO ABSOLUTELY CONCENTRATED UPON THE MATTER BEFORE HIM THAT A QUESTION OR REMARK FELL UNHEEDED UPON HIS EARS OR AT THE MOST ONLY PROVOKED A QUICK IMPATIENT SNARL IN REPLY </s>
<s> SWIFTLY AND SILENTLY HE MADE HIS WAY ALONG THE TRACK WHICH RAN THROUGH THE MEADOWS AND SO BY WAY OF THE WOODS TO THE BOSCOMBE POOL </s>
<s> IT WAS DAMP MARSHY GROUND AS IS ALL THAT DISTRICT AND THERE WERE MARKS OF MANY FEET BOTH UPON THE PATH AND AMID THE SHORT GRASS WHICH BOUNDED IT ON EITHER SIDE </s>
<s> SOMETIMES HOLMES WOULD HURRY ON SOMETIMES STOP DEAD AND ONCE HE MADE QUITE A LITTLE DETOUR INTO THE MEADOW </s>
<s> LESTRADE AND I WALKED BEHIND HIM THE DETECTIVE INDIFFERENT AND CONTEMPTUOUS WHILE I WATCHED MY FRIEND WITH THE INTEREST WHICH SPRANG FROM THE CONVICTION THAT EVERY ONE OF HIS ACTIONS WAS DIRECTED TOWARDS A DEFINITE END </s>
<s> THE BOSCOMBE POOL WHICH IS A LITTLE REED GIRT SHEET OF WATER SOME FIFTY YARDS ACROSS IS SITUATED AT THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE HATHERLEY FARM AND THE PRIVATE PARK OF THE WEALTHY MR. TURNER </s>
<s> ABOVE THE WOODS WHICH LINED IT UPON THE FARTHER SIDE WE COULD SEE THE RED JUTTING PINNACLES WHICH MARKED THE SITE OF THE RICH LANDOWNER'S DWELLING </s>
<s> ON THE HATHERLEY SIDE OF THE POOL THE WOODS GREW VERY THICK AND THERE WAS A NARROW BELT OF SODDEN GRASS TWENTY PACES ACROSS BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE TREES LAND THE REEDS WHICH LINED THE LAKE </s>
<s> LESTRADE SHOWED US THE EXACT SPOT AT WHICH THE BODY HAD BEEN FOUND AND INDEED SO MOIST WAS THE GROUND THAT I COULD PLAINLY SEE THE TRACES WHICH HAD BEEN LEFT BY THE FALL OF THE STRICKEN MAN </s>
<s> TO HOLMES AS I COULD SEE BY HIS EAGER FACE AND PEERING EYES VERY MANY OTHER THINGS WERE TO BE READ UPON THE TRAMPLED GRASS </s>
<s> HE RAN ROUND LIKE A DOG WHO IS PICKING UP A SCENT AND THEN TURNED UPON MY COMPANION </s>
<s> WHAT DID YOU GO INTO THE POOL FOR HE ASKED </s>
<s> I FISHED ABOUT WITH A RAKE </s>
<s> I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE SOME WEAPON OR OTHER TRACE </s>
<s> BUT HOW ON EARTH QUOTE </s>
<s> OH TUT TUT </s>
<s> I HAVE NO TIME </s>
<s> THAT LEFT FOOT OF YOURS WITH ITS INWARD TWIST IS ALL OVER THE PLACE </s>
<s> A MOLE COULD TRACE IT AND THERE IT VANISHES AMONG THE REEDS </s>
<s> OH HOW SIMPLE IT WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN HAD I BEEN HERE BEFORE THEY CAME LIKE A HERD OF BUFFALO AND WALLOWED ALL OVER IT </s>
<s> HERE IS WHERE THE PARTY WITH THE LODGE KEEPER CAME AND THEY HAVE COVERED ALL TRACKS FOR SIX OR EIGHT FEET ROUND THE BODY </s>
<s> BUT HERE ARE THREE SEPARATE TRACKS OF THE SAME FEET </s>
<s> HE DREW OUT A LENS AND LAY DOWN UPON HIS WATERPROOF TO HAVE A BETTER VIEW TALKING ALL THE TIME RATHER TO HIMSELF THAN TO US </s>
<s> THESE ARE YOUNG MCCARTHY'S FEET </s>
<s> TWICE HE WAS WALKING AND ONCE HE RAN SWIFTLY SO THAT THE SOLES ARE DEEPLY MARKED AND THE HEELS HARDLY VISIBLE </s>
<s> THAT BEARS OUT HIS STORY </s>
<s> HE RAN WHEN HE SAW HIS FATHER ON THE GROUND </s>
<s> THEN HERE ARE THE FATHER'S FEET AS HE PACED UP AND DOWN </s>
<s> WHAT IS THIS THEN </s>
<s> IT IS THE BUTT END OF THE GUN AS THE SON STOOD LISTENING </s>
<s> AND THIS </s>
<s> HA HA </s>
<s> WHAT HAVE WE HERE </s>
<s> TIPTOES TIPTOES </s>
<s> SQUARE TOO QUITE UNUSUAL BOOTS </s>
<s> THEY COME THEY GO THEY COME AGAIN OF COURSE THAT WAS FOR THE CLOAK </s>
<s> NOW WHERE DID THEY COME FROM </s>
<s> HE RAN UP AND DOWN SOMETIMES LOSING SOMETIMES FINDING THE TRACK UNTIL WE WERE WELL WITHIN THE EDGE OF THE WOOD AND UNDER THE SHADOW OF A GREAT BEECH THE LARGEST TREE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD </s>
<s> HOLMES TRACED HIS WAY TO THE FARTHER SIDE OF THIS AND LAY DOWN ONCE MORE UPON HIS FACE WITH A LITTLE CRY OF SATISFACTION </s>
<s> FOR A LONG TIME HE REMAINED THERE TURNING OVER THE LEAVES AND DRIED STICKS GATHERING UP WHAT SEEMED TO ME TO BE DUST INTO AN ENVELOPE AND EXAMINING WITH HIS LENS NOT ONLY THE GROUND BUT EVEN THE BARK OF THE TREE AS FAR AS HE COULD REACH </s>
<s> A JAGGED STONE WAS LYING AMONG THE MOSS AND THIS ALSO HE CAREFULLY EXAMINED AND RETAINED </s>
<s> THEN HE FOLLOWED A PATHWAY THROUGH THE WOOD UNTIL HE CAME TO THE HIGHROAD WHERE ALL TRACES WERE LOST </s>
<s> IT HAS BEEN A CASE OF CONSIDERABLE INTEREST HE REMARKED RETURNING TO HIS NATURAL MANNER </s>
<s> QUOTE I FANCY THAT THIS GRAY HOUSE ON THE RIGHT MUST BE THE LODGE </s>
<s> I THINK THAT I WILL GO IN AND HAVE A WORD WITH MORAN AND PERHAPS WRITE A LITTLE NOTE </s>
<s> HAVING DONE THAT WE MAY DRIVE BACK TO OUR LUNCHEBN </s>
<s> YOU MAY WALK TO THE CAB AND I SHALL BE WITH YOU PRESENTLY </s>
<s> IT WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES BEFORE WE REGAINED OUR CAB AND DROVE BACK INTO ROSS HOLMES STILL CARRYING WITH HIM THE STONE WHICH HE HAD PICKED UP IN THE WOOD </s>
<s> THIS MAY INTEREST YOU LESTRADE HE REMARKED HOLDING IT OUT </s>
<s> THE MURDER WAS DONE WITH IT </s>
<s> I SEE NO MARKS </s>
<s> THERE ARE NONE </s>
<s> QUOTE HOW DO YOU KNOW THEN QUOTE </s>
<s> THE GRASS WAS GROWING UNDER IT </s>
<s> IT HAD ONLY LAIN THERE A FEW DAYS </s>
<s> THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A PLACE WHENCE IT HAD BEEN TAKEN </s>
<s> IT CORRESPONDS WITH THE INJURIES </s>
<s> THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY OTHER WEAPON </s>
<s> AND THE MURDERER </s>
<s> IS A TALL MAN LEFT HANDED LIMPS WITH THE RIGHT LEG WEARS THICK SOLED SHOOTING BOOTS AND A GRAY CLOAK SMOKES INDIAN CIGARS USES A CIGAR HOLDER AND CARRIES A BLUNT PEN KNIFE IN HIS POCKET </s>
<s> THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER INDICATIONS BUT THESE MAY BE ENOUGH TO AID US IN OUR SEARCH </s>
<s> LESTRADE LAUGHED </s>
<s> QUOTE I AM AFRAID THAT I AM STILL A SCEPTIC QUOTE HE SAID </s>
<s> THEORIES ARE ALL VERY WELL BUT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH A HARD HEADED BRITISH JURY </s>
<s> NOUS VERRONS ANSWERED HOLMES CALMLY </s>
<s> YOU WORK YOUR OWN METHOD AND I SHALL WORK MINE </s>
<s> I SHALL BE BUSY THIS AFTERNOON AND SHALL PROBABLY RETURN TO LONDON BY THE EVENING TRAIN </s>
<s> AND LEAVE YOUR CASE UNFINISHED </s>
<s> QUOTE NO FINISHED QUOTE </s>
<s> BUT THE MYSTERY </s>
<s> IT IS SOLVED </s>
<s> WHO WAS THE CRIMINAL THEN </s>
<s> THE GENTLEMAN I DESCRIBE </s>
<s> BUT WHO IS HE </s>
<s> QUOTE SURELY IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT TO FIND OUT </s>
<s> THIS IS NOT SUCH A POPULOUS NEIGHBOURHOOD </s>
<s> LESTRADE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS </s>
<s> I AM A PRACTICAL MAN HE SAID AND I REALLY CANNOT UNDERTAKE TO GO ABOUT THE COUNTRY LOOKING FOR A LEFT HANDED GENTLEMAN WITH A GAME LEG </s>
<s> I SHOULD BECOME THE LAUGHING STOCK OF SCOTLAND YARD </s>
<s> ALL RIGHT SAID HOLMES QUIETLY </s>
<s> I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE CHANCE </s>
<s> HERE ARE YOUR LODGINGS </s>
<s> GOOD BYE </s>
<s> I SHALL DROP YOU A LINE BEFORE I LEAVE QUOTE </s>
<s> HAVING LEFT LESTRADE AT HIS ROOMS WE DROVE TO OUR HOTEL WHERE WE FOUND LUNCH UPON THE TABLE </s>
<s> HOLMES WAS SILENT AND BURIED IN THOUGHT WITH A PAINED EXPRESSION UPON HIS FACE AS ONE WHO FINDS HIMSELF IN A PERPLEXING POSITION </s>
<s> LOOK HERE WATSON HE SAID WHEN THE CLOTH WAS CLEARED JUST SIT DOWN IN THIS CHAIR AND LET ME PREACH TO YOU FOR A LITTLE DON'T KNOW QUITE WHAT TO DO AND I SHOULD VALUE YOUR ADVICE </s>
<s> LIGHT A CIGAR AND LET ME EXPOUND </s>
<s> PRAY DO SO </s>
<s> WELL NOW IN CONSIDERING THIS CASE THERE ARE TWO POINTS ABOUT YOUNG MCCARTHY'S NARRATIVE WHICH STRUCK US BOTH INSTANTLY ALTHOUGH THEY IMPRESSED ME IN HIS FAVOUR AND YOU AGAINST HIM </s>
<s> ONE WAS THE FACT THAT HIS FATHER SHOULD ACCORDING TO HIS ACCOUNT CRY COOEE BEFORE SEEING HIM </s>
<s> THE OTHER WAS HIS SINGULAR DYING REFERENCE TO A RAT </s>
<s> HE MUMBLED SEVERAL WORDS YOU UNDERSTAND BUT THAT WAS ALL THAT CAUGHT THE SON'S EAR </s>
<s> NOW FROM THIS DOUBLE POINT OUR RESEARCH MUST COMMENCE AND WE WILL BEGIN IT BY PRESUMING THAT WHAT THE LAD SAYS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE </s>
<s> QUOTE WHAT OF THIS COOEE THEN QUOTE </s>
<s> WELL OBVIOUSLY IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MEANT FOR THE SON </s>
<s> THE SON AS FAR AS HE KNEW WAS IN BRISTOL </s>
<s> IT WAS MERE CHANCE THAT HE WAS WITHIN EARSHOT </s>
<s> THE COOEE WAS MEANT TO ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF WHOEVER IT WAS THAT HE HAD THE APPOINTMENT WITH </s>
<s> BUT COOEE IS A DISTINCTLY AUSTRALIAN CRY AND ONE WHICH IS USED BETWEEN AUSTRALIANS </s>
<s> THERE IS A STRONG PRESUMPTION THAT THE PERSON WHOM MCCARTHY EXPECTED TO MEET HIM AT BOSCOMBE POOL WAS SOMEONE WHO HAD BEEN IN AUSTRALIA </s>
<s> WHAT OF THE RAT THEN </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES TOOK A FOLDED PAPER FROM HIS POCKET AND FLATTENED IT OUT ON THE TABLE </s>
<s> THIS IS A MAP OF THE COLONY OF VICTORIA HE SAID </s>
<s> I WIRED TO BRISTOL FOR IT LAST NIGHT </s>
<s> HE PUT HIS HAND OVER PART OF THE MAP </s>
<s> QUOTE WHAT DO YOU READ QUOTE </s>
<s> ARAT I READ </s>
