<s> AN ALMANAC </s>
<s> EXCELLENT WATSON </s>
<s> I AM VERY MUCH MISTAKEN IF YOU HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE SPOT </s>
<s> AN ALMANAC </s>
<s> LET US CONSIDER THE CLAIMS OF WHITAKER'S ALMANAC </s>
<s> IT IS IN COMMON USE </s>
<s> IT HAS THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF PAGES </s>
<s> IT IS IN DOUBLE COLUMN </s>
<s> THOUGH RESERVED IN ITS EARLIER VOCABULARY IT BECOMES IF I REMEMBER RIGHT QUITE GARRULOUS TOWARDS THE END </s>
<s> HE PICKED THE VOLUME FROM HIS DESK </s>
<s> QUOTE HERE IS PAGE FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR COLUMN TWO A SUBSTANTIAL BLOCK OF PRINT DEALING I PERCEIVE WITH THE TRADE AND RESOURCES OF BRITISH INDIA </s>
<s> JOT DOWN THE WORDS WATSON </s>
<s> NUMBER THIRTEEN IS MAHRATTA </s>
<s> NOT I FEAR A VERY AUSPICIOUS BEGINNING </s>
<s> NUMBER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN IS GOVERNMENT WHICH AT LEAST MAKES SENSE THOUGH SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT TO OURSELVES AND PROFESSOR MORIARTY </s>
<s> NOW LET US TRY AGAIN </s>
<s> WHAT DOES THE MAHRATTA GOVERNMENT DO </s>
<s> ALAS THE NEXT WORD IS PIG'S BRISTLES </s>
<s> WE ARE UNDONE MY GOOD WATSON </s>
<s> IT IS FINISHED </s>
<s> HE HAD SPOKEN IN JESTING VEIN BUT THE TWITCHING OF HIS BUSHY EYEBROWS BESPOKE HIS DISAPPOINTMENT AND IRRITATION </s>
<s> I SAT HELPLESS AND UNHAPPY STARING INTO THE FIRE </s>
<s> A LONG SILENCE WAS BROKEN BY A SUDDEN EXCLAMATION FROM HOLMES WHO DASHED AT A CUPBOARD FROM WHICH HE EMERGED WITH A SECOND YELLOW COVERED VOLUME IN HIS HAND </s>
<s> WE PAY THE PRICE WATSON FOR BEING TOO UP TO DATE HE CRIED </s>
<s> WE ARE BEFORE OUR TIME AND SUFFER THE USUAL PENALTIES </s>
<s> BEING THE SEVENTH OF JANUARY WE HAVE VERY PROPERLY LAID IN THE NEW ALMANAC </s>
<s> IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY THAT PORLOCK TOOK HIS MESSAGE FROM THE OLD ONE </s>
<s> NO DOUBT HE WOULD HAVE TOLD US SO HAD HIS LETTER OF EXPLANATION BEEN WRITTEN </s>
<s> NOW LET US SEE WHAT PAGE FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR HAS IN STORE FOR US </s>
<s> NUMBER THIRTEEN IS THERE WHICH IS MUCH MORE PROMISING </s>
<s> NUMBER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN IS IS THERE IS' HOLMES'S EYES WERE GLEAMING WITH EXCITEMENT AND HIS THIN NERVOUS FINGERS TWITCHED AS HE COUNTED THE WORDS DANGER </s>
<s> HA </s>
<s> HA </s>
<s> CAPITAL </s>
<s> PUT THAT DOWN WATSON </s>
<s> THERE IS DANGER MAY COME VERY SOON ONE </s>
<s> THEN WE HAVE THE NAME DOUGLAS RICH COUNTRY NOW AT BIRLSTONE HOUSE BIRLSTONE CONFIDENCE IS PRESSING </s>
<s> THERE WATSON </s>
<s> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PURE REASON AND ITS FRUIT </s>
<s> IF THE GREENGROCER HAD SUCH A THING AS A LAUREL WREATH I SHOULD SEND BILLY ROUND FOR IT </s>
<s> I WAS STARING AT THE STRANGE MESSAGE WHICH I HAD SCRAWLED AS HE DECIPHERED IT UPON A SHEET OF FOOLSCAP ON MY KNEE </s>
<s> QUOTE WHAT A QUEER SCRAMBLING WAY OF EXPRESSING HIS MEANING QUOTE SAID I </s>
<s> ON THE CONTRARY HE HAS DONE QUITE REMARKABLY WELL SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> WHEN YOU SEARCH A SINGLE COLUMN FOR WORDS WITH WHICH TO EXPRESS YOUR MEANING YOU CAN HARDLY EXPECT TO GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT </s>
<s> YOU ARE BOUND TO LEAVE SOMETHING TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF YOUR CORRESPONDENT </s>
<s> THE PURPORT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR </s>
<s> SOME DEVILTRY IS INTENDED AGAINST ONE DOUGLAS WHOEVER HE MAY BE RESIDING AS STATED A RICH COUNTRY GENTLEMAN </s>
<s> HE IS SURE CONFIDENCE WAS AS NEAR AS HE COULD GET TO CONFIDENT THAT IT IS PRESSING </s>
<s> THERE IS OUR RESULT AND A VERY WORKMANLIKE LITTLE BIT OF ANALYSIS IT WAS </s>
<s> HOLMES HAD THE IMPERSONAL JOY OF THE TRUE ARTIST IN HIS BETTER WORK EVEN AS HE MOURNED DARKLY WHEN IT FELL BELOW THE HIGH LEVEL TO WHICH HE ASPIRED </s>
<s> HE WAS STILL CHUCKLING OVER HIS SUCCESS WHEN BILLY SWUNG OPEN THE DOOR AND INSPECTOR MACDONALD OF SCOTLAND YARD WAS USHERED INTO THE ROOM </s>
<s> THOSE WERE THE EARLY DAYS AT THE END OF THE EIGHTY'S WHEN ALEC MACDONALD WAS FAR FROM HAVING ATTAINED THE NATIONAL FAME WHICH HE HAS NOW ACHIEVED </s>
<s> HE WAS A YOUNG BUT TRUSTED MEMBER OF THE DETECTIVE FORCE WHO HAD DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF IN SEVERAL CASES WHICH HAD BEEN INTRUSTED TO HIM </s>
<s> HIS TALL BONY FIGURE GAVE PROMISE OF EXCEPTIONAL PHYSICAL STRENGTH WHILE HIS GREAT CRANIUM AND DEEP SET LUSTROUS EYES SPOKE NO LESS CLEARLY OF THE KEEN INTELLIGENCE WHICH TWINKLED OUT FROM BEHIND HIS BUSHY EYEBROWS </s>
<s> HE WAS A SILENT PRECISE MAN WITH A DOUR NATURE AND A HARD ABERDONIAN ACCENT </s>
<s> TWICE ALREADY IN HIS CAREER HAD HOLMES HELPED HIM TO ATTAIN SUCCESS HIS OWN SOLE REWARD BEING THE INTELLECTUAL JOY OF THE PROBLEM </s>
<s> FOR THIS REASON THE AFFECTION AND RESPECT OF THE SCOTCHMAN FOR HIS AMATEUR COLLEAGUE WERE PROFOUND AND HE SHOWED THEM BY THE FRANKNESS WITH WHICH HE CONSULTED HOLMES IN EVERY DIFFICULTY </s>
<s> MEDIOCRITY KNOWS NOTHING HIGHER THAN ITSELF BUT TALENT INSTANTLY RECOGNIZES GENIUS AND MACDONALD HAD TALENT ENOUGH FOR HIS PROFESSION TO ENABLE HIM TO PERCEIVE THAT THERE WAS NO HUMILIATION IN SEEKING THE ASSISTANCE OF ONE WHO ALREADY STOOD ALONE IN EUROPE BOTH IN HIS GIFTS AND IN HIS EXPERIENCE </s>
<s> HOLMES WAS NOT PRONE TO FRIENDSHIP BUT HE WAS TOLERANT OF THE BIG SCOTCHMAN AND SMILED AT THE SIGHT OF HIM </s>
<s> YOU ARE AN EARLY BIRD MR. MAC SAID HE </s>
<s> I WISH YOU LUCK WITH YOUR WORM </s>
<s> I FEAR THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS SOME MISCHIEF AFOOT QUOTE </s>
<s> IF YOU SAID HOPE INSTEAD OF FEAR IT WOULD BE NEARER THE TRUTH I'M THINKING MR. HOLMES THE INSPECTOR ANSWERED WITH A KNOWING GRIN </s>
<s> WELL MAYBE A WEE NIP WOULD KEEP OUT THE RAW MORNING CHILL </s>
<s> NO I WON'T SMOKE I THANK YOU </s>
<s> I'LL HAVE TO BE PUSHING ON MY WAY FOR THE EARLY HOURS OF A CASE ARE THE PRECIOUS ONES AS NO MAN KNOWS BETTER THAN YOUR OWN SELF </s>
<s> BUT BUT </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR HAD STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WAS STARING WITH A LOOK OF ABSOLUTE AMAZEMENT AT A PAPER UPON THE TABLE </s>
<s> IT WAS THE SHEET UPON WHICH I HAD SCRAWLED THE ENIGMATIC MESSAGE </s>
<s> DOUGLAS HE STAMMERED </s>
<s> BIRLSTONE </s>
<s> WHAT'S THIS MR. HOLMES </s>
<s> MAN IT'S WITCHCRAFT </s>
<s> WHERE IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS WONDERFUL DID YOU GET THOSE NAMES QUOTE </s>
<s> IT IS A CIPHER THAT DOCTOR WATSON AND I HAVE HAD OCCASION TO SOLVE </s>
<s> BUT WHY WHAT'S AMISS WITH THE NAMES </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR LOOKED FROM ONE TO THE OTHER OF US IN DAZED ASTONISHMENT </s>
<s> JUST THIS SAID HE THAT MR. DOUGLAS OF BIRLSTONE MANOR HOUSE WAS HORRIBLY MURDERED LAST NIGHT </s>
<s> CHAPTER TWO SHERLOCK HOLMES DISCOURSES </s>
<s> IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DRAMATIC MOMENTS FOR WHICH MY FRIEND EXISTED </s>
<s> IT WOULD BE AN OVERSTATEMENT TO SAY THAT HE WAS SHOCKED OR EVEN EXCITED BY THE AMAZING ANNOUNCEMENT </s>
<s> WITHOUT HAVING A TINGE OF CRUELTY IN HIS SINGULAR COMPOSLTION HE WAS UNDOUBTEDLY CALLOUS FROM LONG OVERSTIMULATION </s>
<s> YET IF HIS EMOTIONS WERE DULLED HIS INTELLECTUAL PERCEPTIONS WERE EXCEEDINGLY ACTIVE </s>
<s> THERE WAS NO TRACE THEN OF THE HORROR WHICH I HAD MYSELF FELT AT THIS CURT DECLARATION BUT HIS FACE SHOWED RATHER THE QUIET AND INTERESTED COMPOSURE OF THE CHEMIST WHO SEES THE CRYSTALS FALLING INTO POSITION FROM HIS OVERSATURATED SOLUTION </s>
<s> REMARKABLE SAID HE </s>
<s> REMARKAHLE </s>
<s> QUOTE YOU DON'T SEEM SURPRISED QUOTE </s>
<s> INTERESTED MR. MAC BUT HARDLY SURPRISED </s>
<s> WHY SHOULD I BE SURPRISED </s>
<s> I RECEIVE AN ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATION FROM A QUARTER WHICH I KNOW TO BE IMPORTANT WARNING ME THAT DANGER THREATENS A CERTAIN PERSON </s>
<s> WITHIN AN HOUR I LEARN THAT THIS DANGER HAS ACTUALLY MATERIALIZED AND THAT THE PERSON IS DEAD </s>
<s> I AM INTERESTED BUT AS YOU OBSERVE I AM NOT SURPRISED </s>
<s> IN A FEW SHORT SENTENCES HE EXPLAINED TO THE INSPECTOR THE FACTS ABOUT THE LETTER AND THE CIPHER </s>
<s> MACDONALD SAT WITH HIS CHIN ON HIS HANDS AND HIS GREAT SANDY EYEBROWS BUNCHED INTO A YELLOW TANGLE </s>
<s> I WAS GOING DOWN TO BIRLSTONE THIS MORNING SAID HE </s>
<s> I HAD COME TO ASK YOU IF YOU CARED TO COME WITH ME YOU AND YOUR FRIEND HERE </s>
<s> BUT FROM WHAT YOU SAY WE MIGHT PERHAPS BE DOING BETTER WORK IN LONDON </s>
<s> QUOTE I RATHER THINK NOT QUOTE SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> HANG IT ALL MR. HOLMES CRIED THE INSPECTOR </s>
<s> THE PAPERS WILL BE FULL OF THE BIRLSTONE MYSTERY IN A DAY OR TWO BUT WHERE'S THE MYSTERY IF THERE IS A MAN IN LONDON WHO PROPHESIED THE CRIME BEFORE EVER IT OCCURRED </s>
<s> WE HAVE ONLY TO LAY OUR HANDS ON THAT MAN AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW </s>
<s> NO DOUBT MR. MAC </s>
<s> BUT HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO LAY YOUR HANDS ON THE SO CALLED PORLOCK </s>
<s> MACDONALD TURNED OVER THE LETTER WHICH HOLMES HAD HANDED HIM </s>
<s> QUOTE POSTED IN CAMBERWELL THAT DOESN'T HELP US MUCH </s>
<s> NAME YOU SAY IS ASSUMED </s>
<s> NOT MUCH TO GO ON CERTAINLY </s>
<s> DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU HAVE SENT HIM MONEY </s>
<s> TWICE </s>
<s> AND HOW </s>

<s> EXACTLY </s>
<s> INSPECTOR MACDONALD SMILED AND HIS EYELID QUIVERED AS HE GLANCED TOWARDS ME </s>
<s> I WON'T CONCEAL FROM YOU MR. HOLMES THAT WE THINK IN THE C. I. D. THAT YOU HAVE A WEE BIT OF A BEE IN YOUR BONNET OVER THIS PROFESSOR </s>
<s> I MADE SOME INQUIRIES MYSELF ABOUT THE MATTER </s>
<s> HE SEEMS TO BE A VERLY RESPECTABLE LEARNED AND TALENTED SORT OF MAN </s>
<s> I'M GLAD YOU'VE GOT SO FAR AS TO RECOGNIZE THE TALENT </s>
<s> MAN YOU CAN'T BUT RECOGNIZE IT </s>
<s> AFTER I HEARD YOUR VIEW I MADE IT MY BUSINESS TO SEE HIM </s>
<s> I HAD A CHAT WITH HIM ON ECLIPSES </s>
<s> HOW THE TALK GOT THAT WAY I CANNA THINK BUT HE HAD OUT A REFLECTOR LANTERN AND A GLOBE AND MADE IT ALL CLEAR IN A MINUTE </s>
<s> HE LENT ME A BOOK BUT I DON'T MIND SAYING THAT IT WAS A BIT ABOVE MY HEAD THOUGH I HAD A GOOD ABERDEEN UPBRINGING </s>
<s> HE'D HAVE MADE A GRAND MEENISTER WITH HIS THIN FACE AND GRAY HAIR AND SOLEMN LIKE WAY OF TALKING </s>
<s> WHEN HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER AS WE WERE PARTING IT WAS LIKE A FATHER'S BLESSING BEFORE YOU GO OUT INTO THE COLD CRUEL WORLD QUOTE </s>

<s> MAYBE I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU </s>
<s> YES I SAW THE PICTURE A YOUNG WOMAN WITH HER HEAD ON HER HANDS PEEPING AT YOU SIDEWAYS </s>
<s> THAT PAINTING WAS BY JEAN BAPTISTE GREUZE </s>

<s> JEAN BAPTISTE GREUZE HOLMES CONTINUED JOINING HIS FINGER TIPS AND LEANING WELL BACK IN HIS CHAIR WAS A FRENCH ARTIST WHO FLOURISHED BETWEEN THE YEARS ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY AND EIGHTEEN HUNDRED </s>
<s> I ALLUDE OF COURSE TO HIS WORKING CAREER </s>
<s> MODERN CRITICISM HAS MORE THAN INDORSED THE HIGH OPINION FORMED OF HIM BY HIS CONTEMPORARIES </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR'S EYES GREW ABSTRACTED </s>
<s> QUOTE HADN'T WE BETTER QUOTE HE SAID </s>
<s> WE ARE DOING SO HOLMES INTERRUPTED </s>
<s> ALL THAT I AM SAYING HAS A VERY DIRECT AND VITAL BEARING UPON WHAT YOU HAVE CALLED THE BIRLSTONE MYSTERY </s>
