<s> THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RESPECTABLE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE ONLY TIME THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD THE POLICE IN IT WAS OVER THIS VERY FELLOW </s>

<s> BEPPO WAS HIS NAME HIS SECOND NAME I NEVER KNEW </s>
<s> SERVE ME RIGHT FOR ENGAGING A MAN WITH SUCH A FACE </s>
<s> BUT HE WAS A GOOD WORKMAN ONE OF THE BEST </s>
<s> WHAT DID HE GET </s>
<s> THE MAN LIVED AND HE GOT OFF WITH A YEAR </s>
<s> I HAVE NO DOUBT HE IS OUT NOW BUT HE HAS NOT DARED TO SHOW HIS NOSE HERE </s>
<s> WE HAVE A COUSIN OF HIS HERE AND I DARESAY HE COULD TELL YOU WHERE HE IS </s>
<s> QUOTE NO NO QUOTE CRIED HOLMES QUOTE NOT A WORD TO THE COUSIN NOT A WORD I BEG OF YOU </s>
<s> THE MATTER IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THE FARTHER I GO WITH IT THE MORE IMPORTANT IT SEEMS TO GROW </s>

<s> ONCE OR TWICE HE CHUCKLED </s>
<s> THIS IS ALL RIGHT WATSON SAID HE </s>
<s> LISTEN TO THIS IT IS SATISFACTORY TO KNOW THAT THERE CAN BE NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION UPON THIS CASE SINCE MR. LESTRADE ONE OF THE MOST EXPERIENCED MEMBERS OF THE OFFICIAL FORCE AND MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES THE WELL KNOWN CONSULTING EXPERT HAVE EACH COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE GROTESQUE SERIES OF INCIDENTS WHICH HAVE ENDED IN SO TRAGIC A FASHION ARISE FROM LUNACY RATHER THAN FROM DELIBERATE CRIME </s>
<s> NO EXPLANA TION SAVE MENTAL ABERRATION CAN COVER THE FACTS </s>
<s> THE PRESS WATSON IS A MOST VALUABLE INSTITUTION IF YOU ONLY KNOW HOW TO USE IT </s>
<s> AND NOW IF YOU HAVE QUITE FINISHED WE WILL HARK BACK TO KENSINGTON AND SEE WHAT THE MANAGER OF HARDING BROTHERS HAS TO SAY ON THE MATTER </s>

<s> THERE IS NO PARTICULAR REASON FOR KEEPING A WATCH UPON THAT BOOK </s>
<s> WELL WELL IT'S A VERY STRANGE BUSINESS AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING COMES OF YOUR INQUIRIES QUOTE </s>
<s> HOLMES HAD TAKEN SEVERAL NOTES DURING MR. HARDING'S EVIDENCE AND I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS THOROUGHLY SATISFIED BY THE TURN WHICH AFFAIRS WERE TAKING </s>
<s> HE MADE NO REMARK HOWEVER SAVE THAT UNLESS WE HURRIED WE SHOULD BE LATE FOR OUR APPOINTMENT WITH LESTRADE </s>
<s> SURE ENOUGH WHEN WE REACHED BAKER STREET THE DETECTIVE WAS ALREADY THERE AND WE FOUND HIM PACING UP AND DOWN IN A FEVER OF IMPATIENCE </s>

<s> YOU DON'T SAY SO </s>
<s> AND FOUND A CAUSE FOR THE CRIME </s>
<s> SPLENDID </s>
<s> QUOTE WE HAVE AN INSPECTOR WHO MAKES A SPECIALTY OF SAFFRON HILL AND THE ITALIAN QUARTER </s>
<s> WELL THIS DEAD MAN HAD SOME CATHOLIC EMBLEM ROUND HIS NECK. AND THAT ALONG WITH HIS COLOUR MADE ME THINK HE WAS FROM THE SOUTH </s>
<s> INSPECTOR HILL KNEW HIM THE MOMENT HE CAUGHT SIGHT OF HIM </s>
<s> HIS NAME IS PIETRO VENUCCI FROM NAPLES AND HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CUT THROATS IN LONDON </s>
<s> HE IS CONNECTED WITH THE MAFIA WHICH AS YOU KNOW IS A SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETY ENFORCING ITS DECREES BY MURDER </s>
<s> NOW YOU SEE HOW THE AFFAIR BEGINS TO CLEAR UP </s>
<s> THE OTHER FELLOW IS PROBABLY AN ITALIAN ALSO AND A MEMBER OF THE MAFIA </s>
<s> HE HAS BROKEN THE RULES IN SOME FASHION </s>
<s> PIETRO IS SET UPON HIS TRACK </s>
<s> PROBABLY THE PHOTOGRAPH WE FOUND IN HIS POCKET IS THE MAN HIMSELF SO THAT HE MAY NOT KNIFE THE WRONG PERSON </s>
<s> HE DOGS THE FELLOW HE SEES HIM ENTER A HOUSE HE WAITS OUTSIDE FOR HIM AND IN THE SCUFFLE HE RECEIVES HIS OWN DEATH WOUND </s>
<s> HOW IS THAT MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>

<s> AFTER ALL THAT IS NOTHING PETTY LARCENY SIX MONTHS AT THE MOST </s>
<s> IT IS THE MURDER THAT WE ARE REALLY INVESTIGATING AND I TELL YOU THAT I AM GATHERING ALL THE THREADS INTO MY HANDS </s>
<s> QUOTE AND THE NEXT STAGE QUOTE </s>
<s> IS A VERY SIMPLE ONE </s>
<s> I SHALL GO DOWN WITH HILL TO THE ITALIAN QUARTER FIND THE MAN WHOSE PHOTOGRAPH WE HAVE GOT AND ARREST HIM ON THE CHARGE OF MURDER </s>
<s> WILL YOU COME WITH US </s>
<s> I THINK NOT </s>
<s> I FANCY WE CAN ATTAIN OUR END IN A SIMPLER WAY </s>
<s> I CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN BECAUSE IT ALL DEPENDS WELL IT ALL DEPENDS UPON A FACTOR WHICH IS COMPLETELY OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL </s>
<s> BUT I HAVE GREAT HOPES IN FACT THE BETTING IS EXACTLY TWO TO ONE THAT IF YOU WILL COME WITH US TO NIGHT I SHALL BE ABLE TO HELP YOU TO LAY HIM BY THE HEELS </s>
<s> IN THE ITALIAN QUARTER </s>
<s> QUOTE NO I FANCY CHISWICK IS AN ADDRESS WHICH IS MORE LIKELY TO FIND HIM </s>
<s> IF YOU WILL COME WITH ME TO CHISWICK TO NIGHT LESTRADE I'LL PROMISE TO GO TO THE ITALIAN QUARTER WITH YOU TO MORROW AND NO HARM WILL BE DONE BY THE DELAY </s>
<s> AND NOW I THINK THAT A FEW HOURS' SLEEP WOULD DO US ALL GOOD FOR I DO NOT PROPOSE TO LEAVE BEFORE ELEVEN O'CLOCK AND IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WE SHALL BE BACK BEFORE MORNING </s>
<s> YOU'LL DINE WITH US LESTRADE AND THEN YOU ARE WELCOME TO THE SOFA UNTIL IT IS TIME FOR US TO START </s>
<s> IN THE MEANTIME WATSON I SHOULD BE GLAD IF YOU WOULD RING FOR AN EXPRESS MESSENGER FOR I HAVE A LETTER TO SEND AND IT IS IMPONANT THAT IT SHOULD GO AT ONCE </s>
<s> HOLMES SPENT THE EVENING IN RUMMAGING AMONG THE FILES OF THE OLD DAILY PAPERS WITH WHICH ONE OF OUR LUMBER ROOMS WAS PACKED </s>
<s> WHEN AT LAST HE DESCENDED IT WAS WITH TRIUMPH IN HIS EYES BUT HE SAID NOTHING TO EITHER OF US AS TO THE RESULT OF HIS RESEARCHES </s>
<s> FOR MY OWN PART I HAD FOLLOWED STEP BY STEP THE METHODS BY WHICH HE HAD TRACED THE VARIOUS WINDINGS OF THIS COMPLEX CASE AND THOUGH I COULD NOT YET PERCEIVE THE GOAL WHICH WE WOULD REACH I UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY THAT HOLMES EXPECTED THIS GROTESQUE CRIMINAL TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT UPON THE TWO REMAINING BUSTS ONE OF WHICH I REMEMBERED WAS AT CHISWICK </s>
<s> NO DOUBT THE OBJECT OF OUR JOURNEY WAS TO CATCH HIM IN THE VERY ACT AND I COULD NOT BUT ADMIRE THE CUNNING WITH WHICH MY FRIEND HAD INSERTED A WRONG CLUE IN THE EVENING PAPER SO AS TO GIVE THE FELLOW THE IDEA THAT HE COULD CONTINUE HIS SCHEME WITH IMPUNITY </s>
<s> I WAS NOT SURPRISED WHEN HOLMES SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY REVOLVER WITH ME </s>
<s> HE HAD HIMSELF PICKED UP THE LOADED HUNTING CROP WHICH WAS HIS FAVOURITE WEAPON </s>
<s> A FOUR WHEELER WAS AT THE DOOR AT ELEVEN AND IN IT WE DROVE TO A SPOT AT THE OTHER SIDE OF HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE </s>
<s> HERE THE CABMAN WAS DIRECTED TO WAIT </s>
<s> A SHORT WALK BROUGHT US TO A SECLUDED ROAD FRINGED WITH PLEASANT HOUSES EACH STANDING IN ITS OWN GROUNDS </s>
<s> IN THE LIGHT OF A STREET LAMP WE READ LABURNUM VILLA UPON THE GATE POST OF ONE OF THEM </s>
<s> THE OCCUPANTS HAD EVIDENTLY RETIRED TO REST FOR ALL WAS DARK SAVE FOR A FANLIGHT OVER THE HALL DOOR WHICH SHED A SINGLE BLURRED CIRCLE ON TO THE GARDEN PATH </s>
<s> THE WOODEN FENCE WHICH SEPARATED THE GROUNDS FROM THE ROAD THREW A DENSE BLACK SHADOW UPON THE INNER SIDE AND HERE IT WAS THAT WE CROUCHED </s>
<s> I FEAR THAT YOU'LL HAVE A LONG WAIT HOLMES WHISPERED </s>
<s> WE MAY THANK OUR STARS THAT IT IS NOT RAINING </s>
<s> I DON'T THINK WE CAN EVEN VENTURE TO SMOKE TO PASS THE TIME </s>
<s> HOWEVER IT'S A TWO TO ONE CHANCE THAT WE GET SOMETHING TO PAY US FOR OUR TROUBLE </s>
<s> IT PROVED HOWEVER THAT OUR VIGIL WAS NOT TO BE SO LONG AS HOLMES HAD LED US TO FEAR AND IT ENDED IN A VERY SUDDEN AND SINGULAR FASHION </s>
<s> IN AN INSTANT WITHOUT THE LEAST SOUND TO WARN US OF HIS COMING THE GARDEN GATE SWUNG OPEN AND A LITHE DARK FIGURE AS SWIFT AND ACTIVE AS AN APE RUSHED UP THE GARDEN PATH </s>
<s> WE SAW IT WHISK PAST THE LIGHT THROWN FROM OVER THE DOOR AND DISAPPEAR AGAINST THE BLACK SHADOW OF THE HOUSE </s>
<s> THERE WAS A LONG PAUSE DURING WHICH WE HELD OUR BREATH AND THEN A VERY GENTLE CREAKING SOUND CAME TO OUR EARS </s>
<s> THE WINDOW WAS BEING OPENED </s>
<s> THE NOISE CEASED AND AGAIN THERE WAS A LONG SILENCE </s>
<s> THE FELLOW WAS MAKING HIS WAY INTO THE HOUSE </s>
<s> WE SAW THE SUDDEN FLASH OF A DARK LANTERN INSIDE THE ROOM </s>
<s> WHAT HE SOUGHT WAS EVIDENTLY NOT THERE FOR AGAIN WE SAW THE FLASH THROUGH ANOTHER BLIND AND THEN THROUGH ANOTHER </s>
<s> QUOTE LET US GET TO THE OPEN WINDOW </s>
<s> WE WILL NAB HIM AS HE CLIMBS OUT </s>
<s> LESTRADE WHISPERED </s>
<s> BUT BEFORE WE COULD MOVE. THE MAN HAD EMERGED AGAIN </s>
<s> AS HE CAME OUT INTO THE GLIMMERING PATCH OF LIGHT WE SAW THAT HE CARRLED SOMETHING WHITE UNDER HIS ARM </s>
<s> HE LOOKED STEALTHILY ALL ROUND HIM </s>
<s> THE SILENCE OF THE DESERTED STREET REASSURED HIM </s>
<s> TURNING HIS BACK UPON US HE LAID DOWN HIS BURDEN AND THE NEXT INSTANT THERE WAS THE SOUND OF A SHARP TAP FOLLOWED BY A CLATTER AND RATTLE </s>
<s> THE MAN WAS SO INTENT UPON WHAT HE WAS DOING THAT HE NEVER HEARD OUR STEPS AS WE STOLE ACROSS THE GRASS PLOT </s>
<s> WITH THE BOUND OF A TIGER HOLMES WAS ON HIS BACK AND AN INSTANT LATER LESTRADE AND I HAD HIM BY EITHER WRIST AND THE HANDCUFFS HAD BEEN FASTENED </s>
<s> AS WE TURNED HIM OVER I SAW A HIDEOUS SALLOW FACE WITH WRITHING FURIOUS FEATURES GLARING UP AT US AND I KNEW THAT IT WAS INDEED THE MAN OF THE PHOTOGRAPH WHOM WE HAD SECURED </s>
