<s> I CRIED </s>
<s> EXACTLY </s>
<s> WE COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE ABSENCE OF A TICKET </s>
<s> THIS WOULD EXPLAIN IT </s>
<s> EVERYTHING FITS TOGETHER </s>
<s> QUOTE BUT SUPPOSE IT WERE SO WE ARE STILL AS FAR AS EVER FROM UNRAVELLING THE MYSTERY OF HIS DEATH </s>
<s> INDEED IT BECOMES NOT SIMPLER BUT STRANGER </s>
<s> PERHAPS SAID HOLMES THOUGHTFULLY PERHAPS </s>
<s> HE RELAPSED INTO A SILENT REVERIE WHICH LASTED UNTIL THE SLOW TRAIN DREW UP AT LAST IN WOOLWICH STATION </s>
<s> THERE HE CALLED A CAB AND DREW MYCROFT'S PAPER FROM HIS POCKET </s>
<s> WE HAVE QUITE A LITTLE ROUND OF AFTERNOON CALLS TO MAKE SAID HE </s>
<s> I THINK THAT SIR JAMES WALTER CLAIMS OUR FIRST ATTENTION </s>
<s> THE HOUSE OF THE FAMOUS OFFICIAL WAS A FINE VILLA WITH GREEN LAWNS STRETCHING DOWN TO THE THAMES </s>
<s> AS WE REACHED IT THE FOG WAS LIFTING AND A THIN WATERY SUNSHINE WAS BREAKING THROUGH </s>
<s> A BUTLER ANSWERED OUR RING </s>
<s> SIR JAMES SIR SAID HE WITH SOLEMN FACE </s>
<s> QUOTE SIR JAMES DIED THIS MORNING QUOTE </s>
<s> GOOD HEAVENS CRIED HOLMES IN AMAZEMENT </s>
<s> HOW DID HE DIE </s>
<s> PERHAPS YOU WOULD CARE TO STEP IN SIR AND SEE HIS BROTHER COLONEL VALENTINE </s>
<s> YES WE HAD BEST DO SO </s>
<s> WE WERE USHERED INTO A DIM LIT DRAWING ROOM WHERE AN INSTANT LATER WE WERE JOINED BY A VERY TALL HANDSOME LIGHTBEARDED MAN OF FIFTY THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF THE DEAD SCIENTIST </s>
<s> HIS WILD EYES STAINED CHEEKS AND UNKEMPT HAIR ALL SPOKE OF THE SUDDEN BLOW WHICH HAD FALLEN UPON THE HOUSEHOLD </s>
<s> HE WAS HARDLY ARTICULATE AS HE SPOKE OF IT </s>
<s> IT WAS THIS HORRIBLE SCANDAL SAID HE </s>
<s> QUOTE MY BROTHER SIR JAMES WAS A MAN OF VERY SENSITIVE HONOUR AND HE COULD NOT SURVIVE SUCH AN AFFAIR </s>
<s> IT BROKE HIS HEART </s>
<s> HE WAS ALWAYS SO PROUD OF THE EFFICIENCY OF HIS DEPARTMENT AND THIS WAS A CRUSHING BLOW </s>
<s> WE HAD HOPED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE GIVEN US SOME INDICATIONS WHICH WOULD HAVE HELPED US TO CLEAR THE MATTER UP </s>
<s> I ASSURE YOU THAT IT WAS ALL A MYSTERY TO HIM AS IT IS TO YOU AND TO ALL OF US </s>
<s> HE HAD ALREADY PUT ALL HIS KNOWLEDGE AT THE DISPOSAL OF THE POLICE </s>
<s> NATURALLY HE HAD NO DOUBT THAT CADOGAN WEST WAS GUILTY </s>
<s> BUT ALL THE REST WAS INCONCEIVABLE </s>
<s> YOU CANNOT THROW ANY NEW LIGHT UPON THE AFFAIR </s>
<s> QUOTE I KNOW NOTHING MYSELF SAVE WHAT I HAVE READ OR HEARD </s>
<s> I HAVE NO DESIRE TO BE DISCOURTEOUS BUT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MR. HOLMES THAT WE ARE MUCH DISTURBED AT PRESENT AND I MUST ASK YOU TO HASTEN THIS INTERVIEW TO AN END </s>
<s> THIS IS INDEED AN UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT SAID MY FRIEND WHEN WE HAD REGAINED THE CAB </s>
<s> I WONDER IF THE DEATH WAS NATURAL OR WHETHER THE POOR OLD FELLOW KILLED HIMSELF </s>
<s> IF THE LATTER MAY IT BE TAKEN AS SOME SIGN OF SELF REPROACH FOR DUTY NEGLECTED </s>
<s> WE MUST LEAVE THAT QUESTION TO THE FUTURE </s>
<s> NOW WE SHALL TURN TO THE CADOGAN WESTS </s>
<s> A SMALL BUT WELL KEPT HOUSE IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE TOWN SHELTERED THE BEREAVED MOTHER </s>
<s> THE OLD LADY WAS TOO DAZED WITH GRIEF TO BE OF ANY USE TO US BUT AT HER SIDE WAS A WHITE FACED YOUNG LADY WHO INTRODUCED HERSELF AS MISS VIOLET WESTBURY THE FIANCEE OF THE DEAD MAN AND THE LAST TO SEE HIM UPON THAT FATAL NIGHT </s>
<s> I CANNOT EXPLAIN IT MR. HOLMES SHE SAID </s>
<s> QUOTE I HAVE NOT SHUT AN EYE SINCE THE TRAGEDY THINKING THINKING THINKING NIGHT AND DAY WHAT THE TRUE MEANING OF IT CAN BE </s>
<s> ARTHUR WAS THE MOST SINGLE MINDED CHIVALROUS PATRIOTIC MAN UPON EARTH </s>
<s> HE WOULD HAVE CUT HIS RIGHT HAND OFF BEFORE HE WOULD SELL A STATE SECRET CONFIDED TO HIS KEEPING </s>
<s> IT IS ABSURD IMPOSSIBLE PREPOSTEROUS TO ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM </s>
<s> BUT THE FACTS MISS WESTBURY </s>
<s> YES YES I ADMIT I CANNOT EXPLAIN THEM </s>
<s> WAS HE IN ANY WANT OF MONEY </s>
<s> NO HIS NEEDS WERE VERY SIMPLE AND HIS SALARY AMPLE </s>
<s> HE HAD SAVED A FEW HUNDREDS AND WE WERE TO MARRY AT THE NEW YEAR QUOTE </s>
<s> NO SIGNS OF ANY MENTAL EXCITEMENT </s>
<s> COME MISS WESTBURY BE ABSOLUTELY FRANK WITH US </s>
<s> THE QUICK EYE OF MY COMPANION HAD NOTED SOME CHANGE IN HER MANNER </s>
<s> SHE COLOURED AND HESITATED </s>
<s> YES SHE SAID AT LAST I HAD A FEELING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ON HIS MIND </s>
<s> FOR LONG </s>
<s> ONLY FOR THE LAST WEEK OR SO </s>
<s> HE WAS THOUGHTFUL AND WORRIED </s>
<s> ONCE I PRESSED HIM ABOUT IT </s>
<s> HE ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING AND THAT IT WAS CONCERNED WITH HIS OFFICIAL LIFE </s>
<s> IT IS TOO SERIOUS FOR ME TO SPEAK ABOUT EVEN TO YOU SAID HE </s>
<s> I COULD GET NOTHING MORE QUOTE </s>
<s> HOLMES LOOKED GRAVE </s>
<s> GO ON MISS WESTBURY </s>
<s> EVEN IF IT SEEMS TO TELL AGAINST HIM GO ON </s>
<s> WE CANNOT SAY WHAT IT MAY LEAD TO </s>
<s> INDEED I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO TELL </s>
<s> ONCE OR TWICE IT SEEMED TO ME THAT HE WAS ON THE POINT OF TELLING ME SOMETHING </s>
<s> HE SPOKE ONE EVENING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SECRET AND I HAVE SOME RECOLLECTION THAT HE SAID THAT NO DOUBT FOREIGN SPIES WOULD PAY A GREAT DEAL TO HAVE IT </s>
<s> MY FRIEND'S FACE GREW GRAVER STILL </s>
<s> ANYTHING ELSE </s>
<s> QUOTE HE SAID THAT WE WERE SLACK ABOUT SUCH MATTERS THAT IT WOULD BE EASY FOR A TRAITOR TO GET THE PLANS QUOTE </s>
<s> WAS IT ONLY RECENTLY THAT HE MADE SUCH REMARKS </s>
<s> YES QUITE RECENTLY </s>
<s> NOW TELL US OF THAT LAST EVENING </s>
<s> WE WERE TO GO TO THE THEATRE </s>
<s> THE FOG WAS SO THICK THAT A CAB WAS USELESS </s>
<s> WE WALKED AND OUR WAY TOOK US CLOSE TO THE OFFICE </s>
<s> SUDDENLY HE DARTED AWAY INTO THE FOG </s>
<s> QUOTE WITHOUT A WORD QUOTE </s>
<s> HE GAVE AN EXCLAMATION THAT WAS ALL </s>
<s> I WAITED BUT HE NEVER RETURNED </s>
<s> THEN I WALKED HOME </s>
<s> NEXT MORNING AFTER THE OFFICE OPENED THEY CAME TO INQUIRE </s>
<s> ABOUT TWELVE O'CLOCK WE HEARD THE TERRIBLE NEWS </s>
<s> OH MR. HOLMES IF YOU COULD ONLY ONLY SAVE HIS HONOUR </s>
<s> IT WAS SO MUCH TO HIM </s>
<s> HOLMES SHOOK HIS HEAD SADLY </s>
<s> COME WATSON SAID HE OUR WAYS LIE ELSEWHERE </s>
<s> OUR NEXT STATION MUST BE THE OFFICE FROM WHICH THE PAPERS WERE TAKEN </s>
<s> IT WAS BLACK ENOUGH BEFORE AGAINST THIS YOUNG MAN BUT OUR INQUIRIES MAKE IT BLACKER HE REMARKED AS THE CAB LUMBERED OFF </s>
<s> HIS COMING MARRIAGE GIVES A MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME </s>
<s> HE NATURALLY WANTED MONEY </s>
<s> THE IDEA WAS IN HIS HEAD SINCE HE SPOKE ABOUT IT </s>
<s> HE NEARLY MADE THE GIRL AN ACCOMPLICE IN THE TREASON BY TELLING HER HIS PLANS </s>
<s> IT IS ALL VERY BAD QUOTE </s>
<s> BUT SURELY HOLMES CHARACTER GOES FOR SOMETHING </s>
<s> THEN AGAIN WHY SHOULD HE LEAVE THE GIRL IN THE STREET AND DART AWAY TO COMMIT A FELONY </s>
<s> EXACTLY </s>
<s> THERE ARE CERTAINLY OBJECTIONS </s>
<s> BUT IT IS A FORMIDABLE CASE WHICH THEY HAVE TO MEET </s>
<s> MR. SIDNEY JOHNSON THE SENIOR CLERK MET US AT THE OFFICE AND RECELVED US WITH THAT RESPECT WHICH MY COMPANION'S CARD ALWAYS COMMANDED </s>
<s> HE WAS A THIN GRUFF BESPECTACLED MAN OF MIDDLE AGE HIS CHEEKS HAGGARD AND HIS HANDS TWITCHING FROM THE NERVOUS STRAIN TO WHICH HE HAD BEEN SUBJECTED </s>
<s> IT IS BAD MR. HOLMES VERY BAD </s>
<s> HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE DEATH OF THE CHIEF QUOTE </s>
<s> WE HAVE JUST COME FROM HIS HOUSE </s>
<s> THE PLACE IS DISORGANIZED </s>
<s> THE CHIEF DEAD CADOGAN WEST DEAD OUR PAPERS STOLEN </s>
<s> AND YET WHEN WE CLOSED OUR DOOR ON MONDAY EVENING WE WERE AS EFFICIENT AN OFFICE AS ANY IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE </s>
<s> GOOD GOD IT'S DREADFUL TO THINK OF </s>
<s> THAT WEST OF ALL MEN SHOULD HAVE DONE SUCH A THING </s>
<s> YOU ARE SURE OF HIS GUILT THEN </s>
<s> I CAN SEE NO OTHER WAY OUT OF IT </s>
<s> AND YET I WOULD HAVE TRUSTED HIM AS I TRUST MYSELF QUOTE </s>
<s> AT WHAT HOUR WAS THE OFFICE CLOSED ON MONDAY </s>
<s> AT FIVE </s>
<s> DID YOU CLOSE IT </s>
<s> I AM ALWAYS THE LAST MAN OUT </s>
<s> WHERE WERE THE PLANS </s>
<s> QUOTE IN THAT SAFE </s>
<s> I PUT THEM THERE MYSELF </s>
<s> IS THERE NO WATCHMAN TO THE BUILDING </s>
<s> THERE IS BUT HE HAS OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO LOOK AFTER AS WELL </s>
<s> HE IS AN OLD SOLDIER AND A MOST TRUSTWORTHY MAN </s>
<s> HE SAW NOTHING THAT EVENING </s>
<s> OF COURSE THE FOG WAS VERY THICK </s>
<s> SUPPOSE THAT CADOGAN WEST WISHED TO MAKE HIS WAY INTO THE BUILDING AFTER HOURS HE WOULD NEED THREE KEYS WOULD HE NOT BEFORE HE COULD REACH THE PAPERS </s>
<s> QUOTE YES HE WOULD </s>
<s> THE KEY OF THE OUTER DOOR THE KEY OF THE OFFICE AND THE KEY OF THE SAFE </s>
<s> ONLY SIR JAMES WALTER AND YOU HAD THOSE KEYS </s>
<s> I HAD NO KEYS OF THE DOORS ONLY OF THE SAFE </s>
<s> WAS SIR JAMES A MAN WHO WAS ORDERLY IN HIS HABITS </s>
<s> YES I THINK HE WAS </s>
<s> I KNOW THAT SO FAR AS THOSE THREE KEYS ARE CONCERNED HE KEPT THEM ON THE SAME RING </s>
<s> I HAVE OFTEN SEEN THEM THERE QUOTE </s>
<s> AND THAT RING WENT WITH HIM TO LONDON </s>
<s> HE SAID SO </s>
<s> AND YOUR KEY NEVER LEFT YOUR POSSESSION </s>
<s> NEVER </s>
<s> THEN WEST IF HE IS THE CULPRIT MUST HAVE HAD A DUPLICATE </s>
<s> AND YET NONE WAS FOUND UPON HIS BODY </s>
<s> ONE OTHER POINT IF A CLERK IN THIS OFFICE DESIRED TO SELL THE PLANS WOULD IT NOT BE SIMPLER TO COPY THE PLANS FOR HIMSELF THAN TO TAKE THE ORIGINALS AS WAS ACTUALLY DONE QUOTE </s>
<s> IT WOULD TAKE CONSIDERABLE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE TO COPY THE PLANS IN AN EFFECTIVE WAY </s>
<s> BUT I SUPPOSE EITHER SIR JAMES OR YOU OR WEST HAD THAT TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE </s>
<s> NO DOUBT WE HAD BUT I BEG YOU WON'T TRY TO DRAG ME INTO THE MATTER MR. HOLMES </s>
<s> WHAT IS THE USE OF OUR SPECULATING IN THIS WAY WHEN THE ORIGINAL PLANS WERE ACTUALLY FOUND ON WEST </s>
<s> WELL IT IS CERTAINLY SINGULAR THAT HE SHOULD RUN THE RISK OF TAKING ORIGINALS IF HE COULD SAFELY HAVE TAKEN COPIES WHICH WOULD HAVE EQUALLY SERVED HIS TURN </s>
<s> QUOTE SINGULAR NO DOUBT AND YET HE DID SO QUOTE </s>
<s> EVERY INQUIRY IN THIS CASE REVEALS SOMETHING INEXPLICABLE </s>
<s> NOW THERE ARE THREE PAPERS STILL MISSING </s>
<s> THEY ARE AS I UNDERSTAND THE VITAL ONES </s>
<s> YES THAT IS SO </s>
<s> DO YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT ANYONE HOLDING THESE THREE PAPERS AND WITHOUT THE SEVEN OTHERS COULD CONSTRUCT A BRUCE PARTINGTON SUBMARINE </s>
<s> I REPORTED TO THAT EFFECT TO THE ADMIRALTY </s>
<s> BUT TO DAY I HAVE BEEN OVER THE DRAWINGS AGAIN AND I AM NOT SO SURE OF IT </s>
<s> THE DOUBLE VALVES WITH THE AUTOMATIC SELF ADJUSTING SLOTS ARE DRAWN IN ONE OF THE PAPERS WHICH HAVE BEEN RETURNED </s>
<s> UNTIL THE FOREIGNERS HAD INVENTED THAT FOR THEMSELVES THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE BOAT </s>
<s> OF COURSE THEY MIGHT SOON GET OVER THE DIFFICULTY QUOTE </s>
<s> BUT THE THREE MISSING DRAWINGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT </s>
<s> UNDOUBTEDLY </s>
<s> I THINK WITH YOUR PERMISSION I WILL NOW TAKE A STROLL ROUND ME PREMISES </s>
<s> I DO NOT RECALL ANY OTHER QUESTION WHICH I DESIRED TO ASK </s>
<s> HE EXAMINED THE LOCK OF THE SAFE THE DOOR OF THE ROOM AND FINALLY THE IRON SHUTTERS OF THE WINDOW </s>
<s> IT WAS ONLY WHEN WE WERE ON THE LAWN OUTSIDE THAT HIS INTEREST WAS STRONGLY EXCITED </s>
<s> THERE WAS A LAUREL BUSH OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND SEVERAL OF THE BRANCHES BORE SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN TWISTED OR SNAPPED </s>
<s> HE EXAMINED THEM CAREFULLY WITH HIS LENS AND THEN SOME DIM AND VAGUE MARKS UPON THE EARTH BENEATH </s>
<s> FINALLY HE ASKED THE CHIEF CLERK TO CLOSE THE IRON SHUTTERS AND HE POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THEY HARDLY MET IN THE CENTRE AND THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITHIN THE ROOM </s>
<s> THE INDICATIONS ARE RUINED BY THE THREE DAYS' DELAY </s>
<s> THEY MAY MEAN SOMETHING OR NOTHING </s>
<s> WELL WATSON I DO NOT THINK THAT WOOLWICH CAN HELP US FURTHER </s>
<s> IT IS A SMALL CROP WHICH WE HAVE GATHERED </s>
<s> LET US SEE IF WE CAN DO BETTER IN LONDON QUOTE </s>
<s> YET WE ADDED ONE MORE SHEAF TO OUR HARVEST BEFORE WE LEFT WOOLWICH STATION </s>
<s> THE CLERK IN THE TICKET OFFICE WAS ABLE TO SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT HE SAW CADOGAN WEST WHOM HE KNEW WELL BY SIGHT UPON THE MONDAY NIGHT AND THAT HE WENT TO LONDON BY THE EIGHT FIFTEEN TO LONDON BRIDGE </s>
<s> HE WAS ALONE AND TOOK A SINGLE THIRD CLASS TICKET </s>
<s> THE CLERK WAS STRUCK AT THE TIME BY HIS EXCITED AND NERVOUS MANNER </s>
<s> SO SHAKY WAS HE THAT HE COULD HARDLY PICK UP HIS CHANGE AND THE CLERK HAD HELPED HIM WITH IT </s>
<s> A REFERENCE TO THE TIMETABLE SHOWED THAT THE EIGHT FIFTEEN WAS THE FIRST TRAIN WHICH IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR WEST TO TAKE AFTER HE HAD LEFT THE LADY ABOUT SEVEN THIRTY </s>
