<s> THEY WOULD RUN A GREAT RISK AND GAIN NOTHING BY TAKING HIM </s>
<s> SURELY THAT IS CLEAR </s>
<s> WHERE IS HE THEN </s>
<s> I HAVE ALREADY SAID THAT HE MUST HAVE GONE TO KING'S PYLAND OR TO MAPLETON </s>
<s> HE IS NOT AT KING'S PYLAND </s>
<s> THEREFORE HE IS AT MAPLETON </s>
<s> LET US TAKE THAT AS A WORKING HYPOTHESIS AND SEE WHAT IT LEADS US TO </s>
<s> THIS PART OF THE MOOR AS THE INSPECTOR REMARKED IS VERY HARD AND DRY </s>
<s> BUT IT FALLS AWAY TOWARDS MAPLETON AND YOU CAN SEE FROM HERE THAT THERE IS A LONG HOLLOW OVER YONDER WHICH MUST HAVE BEEN VERY WET ON MONDAY NIGHT </s>
<s> IF OUR SUPPOSITION IS CORRECT THEN THE HORSE MUST HAVE CROSSED THAT AND THERE IS THE POINT WHERE WE SHOULD LOOK FOR HIS TRACKS QUOTE </s>
<s> WE HAD BEEN WALKING BRISKLY DURING THIS CONVERSATION AND A FEW MORE MINUTES BROUGHT US TO THE HOLLOW IN QUESTION </s>
<s> AT HOLMES'S REQUEST I WALKED DOWN THE BANK TO THE RIGHT AND HE TO THE LEFT BUT I HAD NOT TAKEN FIFTY PACES BEFORE I HEARD HIM GIVE A SHOUT AND SAW HIM WAVING HIS HAND TO ME </s>
<s> THE TRACK OF A HORSE WAS PLAINLY OUTLINED IN THE SOFT EARTH IN FRONT OF HIM AND THE SHOE WHICH HE TOOK FROM HIS POCKET EXACTLY FITTED THE IMPRESSION </s>
<s> SEE THE VALUE OF IMAGINATION SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> IT IS THE ONE QUALITY WHICH GREGORY LACKS </s>
<s> WE IMAGINED WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED ACTED UPON THE SUPPOSITION AND FIND OURSELVES JUSTIFIED </s>
<s> LET US PROCEED </s>
<s> WE CROSSED THE MARSHY BOTTOM AND PASSED OVER A QUARTER OF A MILE OF DRY HARD TURF </s>
<s> AGAIN THE GROUND SLOPED AND AGAIN WE CAME ON THE TRACKS </s>
<s> THEN WE LOST THEM FOR HALF A MILE BUT ONLY TO PICK THEM UP ONCE MORE QUITE CLOSE TO MAPLETON </s>
<s> IT WAS HOLMES WHO SAW THEM FIRST AND HE STOOD POINTING WITH A LOOK OF TRIUMPH UPON HIS FACE </s>
<s> A MAN'S TRACK WAS VISIBLE BESIDE THE HORSE'S </s>
<s> THE HORSE WAS ALONE BEFORE I CRIED </s>
<s> QUITE SO </s>
<s> IT WAS ALONE BEFORE </s>
<s> HULLO WHAT IS THIS QUOTE </s>
<s> THE DOUBLE TRACK TURNED SHARP OFF AND TOOK THE DIRECTION OF KING'S PYLAND </s>
<s> HOLMES WHISTLED AND WE BOTH FOLLOWED ALONG AFTER IT </s>
<s> HIS EYES WERE ON THE TRAIL BUT I HAPPENED TO LOOK A LITTLE TO ONE SIDE AND SAW TO MY SURPRISE THE SAME TRACKS COMING BACK AGAIN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION </s>
<s> ONE FOR YOU WATSON SAID HOLMES WHEN I POINTED IT OUT </s>
<s> YOU HAVE SAVED US A LONG WALK WHICH WOULD HAVE BROUGHT US BACK ON OUR OWN TRACES </s>
<s> LET US FOLLOW THE RETURN TRACK </s>
<s> WE HAD NOT TO GO FAR </s>
<s> IT ENDED AT THE PAVING OF ASPHALT WHICH LED UP TO THE GATES OF THE MAPLETON STABLES </s>
<s> AS WE APPROACHED A GROOM RAN OUT FROM THEM </s>
<s> WE DON'T WANT ANY LOITERERS ABOUT HERE SAID HE </s>
<s> I ONLY WISHED TO ASK A QUESTION SAID HOLMES WITH HIS FINGER AND THUMB IN HIS WAISTCOAT POCKET </s>
<s> QUOTE SHOULD I BE TOO EARLY TO SEE YOUR MASTER MR. SILAS BROWN IF I WERE TO CALL AT FIVE O'CLOCK TO MORROW MORNING QUOTE </s>
<s> BLESS YOU SIR IF ANYONE IS ABOUT HE WILL BE FOR HE IS ALWAYS THE FIRST STIRRING </s>
<s> BUT HERE HE IS SIR TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS FOR HIMSELF </s>
<s> NO SIR NO IT IS AS MUCH AS MY PLACE IS WORTH TO LET HIM SEE ME TOUCH YOUR MONEY </s>
<s> AFTERWARDS IF YOU LIKE </s>
<s> AS SHERLOCK HOLMES REPLACED THE HALF CROWN WHICH HE HAD DRAWN FROM HIS POCKET A FIERCE LOOKING ELDERLY MAN STRODE OUT FROM THE GATE WITH A HUNTING CROP SWINGING IN HIS HAND </s>
<s> WHAT'S THIS DAWSON HE CRIED </s>
<s> NO GOSSIPING </s>
<s> GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS </s>
<s> AND YOU WHAT THE DEVIL DO YOU WANT HERE </s>
<s> QUOTE TEN MINUTES' TALK WITH YOU MY GOOD SIR QUOTE SAID HOLMES IN THE SWEETEST OF VOICES </s>
<s> I'VE NO TIME TO TALK TO EVERY GADABOUT </s>
<s> WE WANT NO STRANGERS HERE </s>
<s> BE OFF OR YOU MAY FIND A DOG AT YOUR HEELS </s>
<s> HOLMES LEANED FORWARD AND WHISPERED SOMETHING IN THE TRAINER'S EAR </s>
<s> HE STARTED VIOLENTLY AND FLUSHED TO THE TEMPLES </s>
<s> IT'S A LIE HE SHOUTED </s>
<s> AN INFERNAL LIE </s>
<s> VERY GOOD </s>
<s> SHALL WE ARGUE ABOUT IT HERE IN PUBLIC OR TALK IT OVER IN YOUR PARLOUR QUOTE </s>
<s> OH COME IN IF YOU WISH TO </s>
<s> HOLMES SMILED </s>
<s> I SHALL NOT KEEP YOU MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES WATSON SAID HE </s>
<s> NOW </s>
<s> MR. BROWN </s>
<s> I AM QUITE AT YOUR DISPOSAL </s>
<s> IT WAS TWENTY MINUTES AND THE REDS HAD ALL FADED INTO GRAYS BEFORE HOLMES AND THE TRAINER REAPPEARED </s>
<s> NEVER HAVE I SEEN SUCH A CHANGE AS HAD BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN SILAS BROWN IN THAT SHORT TIME </s>
<s> HIS FACE WAS ASHY PALE BEADS OF PERSPIRATION SHONE UPON HIS BROW AND HIS HANDS SHOOK UNTIL THE HUNTING CROP WAGGED LIKE A BRANCH IN THE WIND </s>
<s> HIS BULLYING OVERBEARING MANNER WAS ALL GONE TOO AND HE CRINGED ALONG AT MY COMPANION'S SIDE LIKE A DOG WITH ITS MASTER </s>
<s> YOUR INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE DONE </s>
<s> IT SHALL ALL BE DONE QUOTE SAID HE </s>
<s> THERE MUST BE NO MISTAKE SAID HOLMES LOOKING ROUND AT HIM </s>
<s> THE OTHER WINCED AS HE READ THE MENACE IN HIS EYES </s>
<s> OH NO THERE SHALL BE NO MISTAKE </s>
<s> IT SHALL BE THERE </s>
<s> SHOULD I CHANGE IT FIRST OR NOT </s>
<s> HOLMES THOUGHT A LITTLE AND THEN BURST OUT LAUGHING </s>
<s> NO DON'T SAID HE I SHALL WRITE TO YOU ABOUT IT </s>
<s> NO TRICKS NOW OR </s>
<s> QUOTE OH YOU CAN TRUST ME YOU CAN TRUST ME QUOTE </s>
<s> YES I THINK I CAN </s>
<s> WELL YOU SHALL HEAR FROM ME TO MORROW </s>
<s> HE TURNED UPON HIS HEEL DISREGARDING THE TREMBLING HAND WHICH THE OTHER HELD OUT TO HIM AND WE SET OFF FOR KING'S PYLAND </s>
<s> A MORE PERFECT COMPOUND OF THE BULLY COWARD AND SNEAK THAN MASTER SILAS BROWN I HAVE SELDOM MET WITH REMARKED HOLMES AS WE TRUDGED ALONG TOGETHER </s>
<s> HE HAS THE HORSE THEN </s>
<s> HE TRIED TO BLUSTER OUT OF IT BUT I DESCRIBED TO HIM SO EXACTLY WHAT HIS ACTIONS HAD BEEN UPON THAT MORNING THAT HE IS CONVINCED THAT I WAS WATCHING HIM </s>
<s> OF COURSE YOU OBSERVED THE PECULIARLY SQUARE TOES IN THE IMPRESSIONS AND THAT HIS OWN BOOTS EXACTLY CORRESPONDED TO THEM </s>
<s> AGAIN OF COURSE NO SUBORDINATE WOULD HAVE DARED TO DO SUCH A THING </s>
<s> I DESCRIBED TO HIM HOW WHEN ACCORDING TO HIS CUSTOM HE WAS THE FIRST DOWN HE PERCEIVED A STRANGE HORSE WANDERING OVER THE MOOR </s>
<s> HOW HE WENT OUT TO IT AND HIS ASTONISHMENT AT RECOGNIZING FROM THE WHITE FOREHEAD WHICH HAS GIVEN THE FAVOURITE ITS NAME THAT CHANCE HAD PUT IN HIS POWER THE ONLY HORSE WHICH COULD BEAT THE ONE UPON WHICH HE HAD PUT HIS MONEY </s>
<s> THEN I DESCRIBED HOW HIS FIRST IMPULSE HAD BEEN TO LEAD HIM BACK TO KING'S PYLAND AND HOW THE DEVIL HAD SHOWN HIM HOW HE COULD HIDE THE HORSE UNTIL THE RACE WAS OVER AND HOW HE HAD LED IT BACK AND CONCEALED IT AT MAPLETON </s>
<s> WHEN I TOLD HIM EVERY DETAIL HE GAVE IT UP AND THOUGHT ONLY OF SAVING HIS OWN SKIN QUOTE </s>
<s> BUT HIS STABLES HAD BEEN SEARCHED </s>
<s> OH AN OLD HORSE FAKER LIKE HIM HAS MANY A DODGE </s>
<s> BUT ARE YOU NOT AFRAID TO LEAVE THE HORSE IN HIS POWER NOW SINCE HE HAS EVERY INTEREST IN INJURING IT </s>
<s> MY DEAR FELLOW HE WILL GUARD IT AS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE </s>
<s> HE KNOWS THAT HIS ONLY HOPE OF MERCY IS TO PRODUCE IT SAFE </s>
<s> QUOTE COLONEL ROSS DID NOT IMPRESS ME AS A MAN WHO WOULD BE LIKELY TO SHOW MUCH MERCY IN ANY CASE QUOTE </s>
<s> THE MATTER DOES NOT REST WITH COLONEL ROSS </s>
<s> I FOLLOW MY OWN METHODS AND TELL AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS I CHOOSE </s>
<s> THAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING UNOFFICIAL </s>
<s> I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU OBSERVED IT WATSON BUT THE COLONEL'S MANNER HAS BEEN JUST A TRIFLE CAVALIER TO ME </s>
<s> I AM INCLINED NOW TO HAVE A LITTLE AMUSEMENT AT HIS EXPENSE </s>
<s> SAY NOTHING TO HIM ABOUT THE HORSE </s>
<s> CERTAINLY NOT WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION </s>
<s> AND OF COURSE THIS IS ALL QUITE A MINOR POINT COMPARED TO THE QUESTION OF WHO KILLED JOHN STRAKER </s>
<s> AND YOU WILL DEVOTE YOURSELF TO THAT </s>
<s> QUOTE ON THE CONTRARY WE BOTH GO BACK TO LONDON BY THE NIGHT TRAIN QUOTE </s>
<s> I WAS THUNDERSTRUCK BY MY FRIEND'S WORDS </s>
<s> WE HAD ONLY BEEN A FEW HOURS IN DEVONSHIRE AND THAT HE SHOULD GIVE UP AN INVESTIGATION WHICH HE HAD BEGUN SO BRILLIANTLY WAS QUITE INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO ME </s>
<s> NOT A WORD MORE COULD I DRAW FROM HIM UNTIL WE WERE BACK AT THE TRAINER'S HOUSE </s>
<s> THE COLONEL AND THE INSPECTOR WERE AWAITING US IN THE PARLOUR </s>
<s> MY FRIEND AND I RETURN TO TOWN BY THE NIGHT EXPRESS SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> WE HAVE HAD A CHARMING LITTLE BREATH OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL DARTMOOR AIR </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR OPENED HIS EYES AND THE COLONEL'S LIP CURLED IN A SNEER </s>
<s> SO YOU DESPAIR OF ARRESTING THE MURDERER OF POOR STRAKER SAID HE </s>
<s> HOLMES SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS </s>
<s> THERE ARE CERTAINLY GRAVE DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY SAID HE </s>
<s> I HAVE EVERY HOPE HOWEVER THAT YOUR HORSE WILL START UPON TUESDAY AND I BEG THAT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR JOCKEY IN READINESS </s>
<s> MIGHT I ASK FOR A PHOTOGRAPH OF MR. JOHN STRAKER QUOTE </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR TOOK ONE FROM AN ENVELOPE AND HANDED IT TO HIM </s>
<s> MY DEAR GREGORY YOU ANTICIPATE ALL MY WANTS </s>
<s> IF I MIGHT ASK YOU TO WAIT HERE FOR AN INSTANT I HAVE A QUESTION WHICH I SHOULD LIKE TO PUT TO THE MAID </s>
<s> I MUST SAY THAT I AM RATHER DISAPPOINTED IN OUR LONDON CONSULTANT SAID COLONEL ROSS BLUNTLY AS MY FRIEND LEFT THE ROOM </s>
<s> I DO NOT SEE THAT WE ARE ANY FURTHER THAN WHEN HE CAME </s>
<s> AT LEAST YOU HAVE HIS ASSURANCE THAT YOUR HORSE WILL RUN SAID I </s>
<s> QUOTE YES I HAVE HIS ASSURANCE QUOTE SAID THE COLONEL WITH A SHRUG OF HIS SHOULDERS </s>
<s> I SHOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE HORSE </s>
<s> I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE SOME REPLY IN DEFENCE OF MY FRIEND WHEN HE ENTERED THE ROOM AGAIN </s>
<s> NOW GENTLEMEN SAID HE I AM QUITE READY FOR TAVISTOCK </s>
<s> AS WE STEPPED INTO THE CARRIAGE ONE OF THE STABLE LADS HELD THE DOOR OPEN FOR US </s>
<s> A SUDDEN IDEA SEEMED TO OCCUR TO HOLMES FOR HE LEANED FORWARD AND TOUCHED THE LAD UPON THE SLEEVE </s>
<s> YOU HAVE A FEW SHEEP IN THE PADDOCK HE SAID </s>
<s> WHO ATTENDS TO THEM </s>
<s> I DO SIR </s>
<s> QUOTE HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING AMISS WITH THEM OF LATE QUOTE </s>
<s> WELL SIR NOT OF MUCH ACCOUNT BUT THREE OF THEM HAVE GONE LAME SIR </s>
<s> I COULD SEE THAT HOLMES WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED FOR HE CHUCKLED AND RUBBED HIS HANDS TOGETHER </s>
<s> A LONG SHOT WATSON A VERY LONG SHOT SAID HE PINCHING MY ARM </s>
<s> GREGORY LET ME RECOMMEND TO YOUR ATTENTION THIS SINGULAR EPIDEMIC AMONG THE SHEEP </s>
<s> DRIVE ON COACHMAN </s>
<s> COLONEL ROSS STILL WORE AN EXPRESSION WHICH SHOWED THE POOR OPINION WHICH HE HAD FORMED OF MY COMPANION'S ABILITY BUT I SAW BY THE INSPECTOR'S FACE THAT HIS ATTENTION HAD BEEN KEENLY AROUSED </s>
<s> YOU CONSIDER THAT TO BE IMPORTANT HE ASKED </s>
<s> QUOTE EXCEEDINGLY SO QUOTE </s>
<s> IS THERE ANY POINT TO WHICH YOU WOULD WISH TO DRAW MY ATTENTION </s>
<s> TO THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT TIME </s>
<s> THE DOG DID NOTHING IN THE NIGHT TIME </s>
<s> THAT WAS THE CURIOUS INCIDENT REMARKED SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> FOUR DAYS LATER HOLMES AND I WERE AGAIN IN THE TRAIN BOUND FOR WINCHESTER TO SEE THE RACE FOR THE WESSEX CUP </s>
<s> COLONEL RLOSS MET US BY APPOINTMENT OUTSIDE THE STATION AND WE DROVE IN HIS DRAG TO THE COURSE BEYOND THE TOWN </s>
<s> HIS FACE WAS GRAVE AND HIS MANNER WAS COLD IN THE EXTREME </s>
<s> I HAVE SEEN NOTHING OF MY HORSE SAID HE </s>
<s> QUOTE I SUPPOSE THAT YOU WOULD KNOW HIM WHEN YOU SAW HIM QUOTE ASKED HOLMES </s>
<s> THE COLONEL WAS VERY ANGRY </s>
<s> I HAVE BEEN ON THE TURF FOR TWENTY YEARS AND NEVER WAS ASKED SUCH A QUESTION AS THAT BEFORE SAID HE </s>
<s> A CHILD WOULD KNOW SILVER BLAZE WITH HIS WHITE FOREHEAD AND HIS MOTTLED OFF FORELEG </s>

<s> WELL THAT IS THE CURIOUS PART OF IT </s>
