<s> AT WHAT ADDRESS </s>
<s> AMERICAN EXCHANGE STRAND TO BE LEFT TILL CALLED FOR </s>
<s> THEY ARE BOTH FROM THE GUION STEAMSHIP COMPANY AND REFER TO THE SAILING OF THEIR BOATS FROM LIVERPOOL </s>
<s> IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS UNFORTUNATE MAN WAS ABOUT TO RETURN TO NEW YORK </s>
<s> HAVE YOU MADE ANY INQUIRIES AS TO THIS MAN STANGERSON </s>
<s> I DID IT AT ONCE SIR SAID GREGSON </s>
<s> QUOTE I HAVE HAD ADVERTISEMENTS SENT TO ALL THE NEWSPAPERS AND ONE OF MY MEN HAS GONE TO THE AMERICAN EXCHANGE BUT HE HAS NOT RETURNED YET QUOTE </s>
<s> HAVE YOU SENT TO CLEVELAND </s>
<s> WE TELEGRAPHED THIS MORNING </s>
<s> HOW DID YOU WORD YOUR INQUIRIES </s>
<s> WE SIMPLY DETAILED THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SAID THAT WE SHOULD BE GLAD OF ANY INFORMATION WHICH COULD HELP US </s>
<s> YOU DID NOT ASK FOR PARTICULARS ON ANY POINT WHICH APPEARED TO YOU TO BE CRUCIAL </s>
<s> QUOTE I ASKED ABOUT STANGERSON QUOTE </s>
<s> NOTHING ELSE </s>
<s> IS THERE NO CIRCUMSTANCE ON WHICH THIS WHOLE CASE APPEARS TO HINGE </s>
<s> WILL YOU NOT TELEGRAPH AGAIN </s>
<s> I HAVE SAID ALL I HAVE TO SAY SAID GREGSON IN AN OFFENDED VOICE </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES CHUCKLED TO HIMSELF AND APPEARED TO BE ABOUT TO MAKE SOME REMARK WHEN LESTRADE WHO HAD BEEN IN THE FRONT ROOM WHILE WE WERE HOLDING THIS CONVERSATION IN THE HALL REAPPEARED UPON THE SCENE RUBBING HIS HANDS IN A POMPOUS AND SELF SATISFIED MANNER </s>
<s> MR. GREGSON HE SAID I HAVE JUST MADE A DISCOVERY OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE AND ONE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED HAD I NOT MADE A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE WALLS </s>
<s> THE LITTLE MAN'S EYES SPARKLED AS HE SPOKE AND HE WAS EVIDENTLY IN A STATE OF SUPPRESSED EXULTATION AT HAVING SCORED A POINT AGAINST HIS COLLEAGUE </s>
<s> COME HERE HE SAID BUSTLING BACK INTO THE ROOM THE ATMOSPHERE OF WHICH FELT CLEARER SINCE THE REMOVAL OF ITS GHASTLY INMATE </s>
<s> QUOTE NOW STAND THERE QUOTE </s>
<s> HE STRUCK A MATCH ON HIS BOOT AND HELD IT UP AGAINST THE WALL </s>
<s> LOOK AT THAT HE SAID TRIUMPHANTLY </s>
<s> I HAVE REMARKED THAT THE PAPER HAD FALLEN AWAY IN PARTS </s>
<s> IN THIS PARTICULAR CORNER OF THE ROOM A LARGE PIECE HAD PEELED OFF LEAVING A YELLOW SQUARE OF COARSE PLASTERING </s>
<s> ACROSS THIS BARE SPACE THERE WAS SCRAWLED IN BLOOD RED LETTERS A SINGLE WORD RACHE </s>
<s> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT CRIED THE DETECTIVE WITH THE AIR OF A SHOWMAN EXHIBITING HIS SHOW </s>
<s> THIS WAS OVERLOOKED BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE DARKEST CORNER OF THE ROOM AND NO ONE THOUGHT OF LOOKING THERE </s>
<s> THE MURDERER HAS WRITTEN IT WITH HIS OR HER OWN BLOOD </s>
<s> SEE THIS SMEAR WHERE IT HAS TRICKLED DOWN THE WALL </s>
<s> THAT DISPOSES OF THE IDEA OF SUICIDE ANYHOW </s>
<s> WHY WAS THAT CORNER CHOSEN TO WRITE IT ON </s>
<s> I WILL TELL YOU </s>
<s> SEE THAT CANDLE ON THE MANTELPIECE </s>
<s> IT WAS LIT AT THE TIME AND IF IT WAS LIT THIS CORNER WOULD BE THE BRIGHTEST INSTEAD OF THE DARKEST PORTION OF THE WALL </s>
<s> AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN NOW THAT YOU HAVE FOUND IT ASKED GREGSON IN A DEPRECIATORY VOICE </s>
<s> QUOTE MEAN </s>
<s> WHY IT MEANS THAT THE WRITER WAS GOING TO PUT THE FEMALE NAME RACHEL BUT WAS DISTURBED BEFORE HE OR SHE HAD TIME TO FINISH </s>
<s> YOU MARK MY WORDS WHEN THIS CASE COMES TO BE CLEARED UP YOU WILL FIND THAT A WOMAN NAMED RACHEL HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT </s>
<s> IT'S ALL VERY WELL FOR YOU TO LAUGH MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> YOU MAY BE VERY SMART AND CLEVER BUT THE OLD HOUND IS THE BEST WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE </s>
<s> I REALLY BEG YOUR PARDON SAID MY COMPANION WHO HAD RUFFLED THE LITTLE MAN'S TEMPER BY BURSTING INTO AN EXPLOSION OF LAUGHTER </s>
<s> YOU CERTAINLY HAVE THE CREDIT OF BEING THE FIRST OF US TO FIND THIS OUT AND AS YOU SAY IT BEARS EVERY MARK OF HAVING BEEN WRITTEN BY THE OTHER PARTICIPANT IN LAST NIGHT'S MYSTERY </s>
<s> I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO EXAMINE THIS ROOM YET BUT WITH YOUR PERMISSION I SHALL DO SO NOW </s>
<s> AS HE SPOKE HE WHIPPED A TAPE MEASURE AND A LARGE ROUND MAGNIFYING GLASS FROM HIS POCKET </s>
<s> WITH THESE TWO IMPLEMENTS HE TROTTED NOISELESSLY ABOUT THE ROOM SOMETIMES STOPPING OCCASIONALLY KNEELING AND ONCE LYING FLAT UPON HIS FACE </s>
<s> SO ENGROSSED WAS HE WITH HIS OCCUPATION THAT HE APPEARED TO HAVE FORGOTTEN OUR PRESENCE FOR HE CHATTERED AWAY TO HIMSELF UNDER HIS BREATH THE WHOLE TIME KEEPING UP A RUNNING FIRE OF EXCLAMATIONS GROANS WHISTLES AND LITTLE CRIES SUGGESTIVE OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND OF HOPE </s>
<s> AS I WATCHED HIM I WAS IRRESISTIBLY REMINDED OF A PURE BLOODED WELL TRAINED FOXHOUND AS IT DASHES BACKWARD AND FORWARD THROUGH THE COVERT WHINING IN ITS EAGERNESS UNTIL IT COMES ACROSS THE LOST SCENT </s>
<s> FOR TWENTY MINUTES OR MORE HE CONTINUED HIS RESEARCHES MEASURING WITH THE MOST EXACT CARE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MARKS WHICH WERE ENTIRELY INVISIBLE TO ME AND OCCASIONALLY APPLYING HIS TAPE TO THE WALLS IN AN EQUALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE MANNER </s>
<s> IN ONE PLACE HE GATHERED UP VERY CAREFULLY A LITTLE PILE OF GRAY DUST FROM THE FLOOR AND PACKED IT AWAY IN AN ENVELOPE </s>
<s> FINALLY HE EXAMINED WITH HIS GLASS THE WORD UPON THE WALL GOING OVER EVERY LETTER OF IT WITH THE MOST MINUTE EXACTNESS </s>
<s> THIS DONE HE APPEARED TO BE SATISFIED FOR HE REPLACED HIS TAPE AND HIS GLASS IN HIS POCKET </s>
<s> THEY SAY THAT GENIUS IS AN INFINITE CAPACITY FOR TAKING PAINS HE REMARKED WITH A SMILE </s>
<s> QUOTE IT'S A VERY BAD DEFINITION BUT IT DOES APPLY TO DETECTIVE WORK QUOTE </s>
<s> GREGSON AND LESTRADE HAD WATCHED THE MANOEUVRES OF THEIR AMATEUR COMPANION WITH CONSIDERABLE CURIOSITY AND SOME CONTEMPT </s>
<s> THEY EVIDENTLY FAILED TO APPRECIATE THE FACT WHICH I HAD BEGUN TO REALIZE THAT SHERLOCK HOLMES'S SMALLEST ACTIONS WERE ALL DIRECTED TOWARDS SOME DEFINITE AND PRACTICAL END </s>
<s> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT SIR THEY BOTH ASKED </s>
<s> IT WOULD BE ROBBING YOU OF THE CREDIT OF THE CASE IF I WERE TO PRESUME TO HELP YOU REMARKED MY FRIEND </s>
<s> YOU ARE DOING SO WELL NOW THAT IT WOULD BE A PITY FOR ANYONE TO INTERFERE </s>
<s> THERE WAS A WORLD OF SARCASM IN HIS VOICE AS HE SPOKE </s>
<s> IF YOU WILL LET ME KNOW HOW YOUR INVESTIGATIONS GO HE CONTINUED I SHALL BE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU ANY HELP I CAN </s>
<s> IN THE MEANTIME I SHOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE CONSTABLE WHO FOUND THE BODY </s>
<s> CAN YOU GIVE ME HIS NAME AND ADDRESS </s>
<s> LESTRADE GLANCED AT HIS NOTEBOOK </s>
<s> QUOTE JOHN RANCE QUOTE HE SAID </s>
<s> HE IS OFF DUTY NOW </s>
<s> YOU WILL FIND HIM AT FORTY SIX AUDLEY COURT KENNINGTON PARK GATE </s>
<s> HOLMES TOOK A NOTE OF THE ADDRESS </s>
<s> COME ALONG DOCTOR HE SAID WE SHALL GO AND LOOK HIM UP </s>
<s> I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING WHICH MAY HELP YOU IN THE CASE HE CONTINUED TURNING TO THE TWO DETECTIVES </s>
<s> THERE HAS BEEN MURDER DONE AND THE MURDERER WAS A MAN </s>
<s> HE WAS MORE THAN SIX FEET HIGH WAS IN THE PRIME OF LIFE HAD SMALL FEET FOR HIS HEIGHT WORE COARSE SQUARE TOED BOOTS AND SMOKED A TRICHINOPOLY CIGAR </s>
<s> HE CAME HERE WITH HIS VICTIM IN A FOUR WHEELED CAB WHICH WAS DRAWN BY A HORSE WITH THREE OLD SHOES AND ONE NEW ONE ON HIS OFF FORE LEG </s>
<s> IN ALL PROBABILITY THE MURDERER HAD A FLORID FACE AND THE FINGER NAILS OF HIS RIGHT HAND WERE REMARKABLY LONG </s>
<s> THESE ARE ONLY A FEW INDICATIONS BUT THEY MAY ASSIST YOU QUOTE </s>
<s> LESTRADE AND GREGSON GLANCED AT EACH OTHER WITH AN INCREDULOUS SMILE </s>
<s> IF THIS MAN WAS MURDERED HOW WAS IT DONE ASKED THE FORMER </s>
<s> POISON SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES CURTLY AND STRODE OFF </s>
<s> ONE OTHER THING LESTRADE HE ADDED TURNING ROUND AT THE DOOR RACHE IS THE GERMAN FOR REVENGE SO DON'T LOSE YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR MISS RACHEL </s>
<s> WITH WHICH PARTHIAN SHOT HE WALKED AWAY LEAVING THE TWO RIVALS OPEN MOUTHED BEHIND HIM </s>
<s> CHAPTER FOUR WHAT JOHN RANCE HAD TO TELL </s>
<s> IT WAS ONE O'CLOCK WHEN WE LEFT NUMBER THREE LAURISTON GARDENS </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES LED ME TO THE NEAREST TELEGRAPH OFFICE WHENCE HE DISPATCHED A LONG TELEGRAM </s>
<s> HE THEN HAILED A CAB AND ORDERED THE DRIVER TO TAKE US TO THE ADDRESS GIVEN US BY LESTRADE </s>
<s> THERE IS NOTHING LIKE FIRST HAND EVIDENCE HE REMARKED AS A MATTER OF FACT MY MIND IS ENTIRELY MADE UP UPON THE CASE BUT STILL WE MAY AS WELL LEARN ALL THAT IS TO BE LEARNED </s>
<s> YOU AMAZE ME HOLMES SAID I. SURELY YOU ARE NOT AS SURE AS YOU PRETEND TO BE OF ALL THOSE PARTICULARS WHICH YOU GAVE </s>
<s> QUOTE THERE'S NO ROOM FOR A MISTAKE QUOTE HE ANSWERED </s>
<s> THE VERY FIRST THING WHICH I OBSERVED ON ARRIVING THERE WAS THAT A CAB HAD MADE TWO RUTS WITH ITS WHEELS CLOSE TO THE CURB </s>
<s> NOW UP TO LAST NIGHT WE HAVE HAD NO RAIN FOR A WEEK SO THAT THOSE WHEELS WHICH LEFT SUCH A DEEP IMPRESSION MUST HAVE BEEN THERE DURING THE NIGHT </s>
<s> THERE WERE THE MARKS OF THE HORSE'S HOOFS TOO THE OUTLINE OF ONE OF WHICH WAS FAR MORE CLEARLY CUT THAN THAT OF THE OTHER THREE SHOWING THAT THAT WAS A NEW SHOE </s>
<s> SINCE THE CAB WAS THERE AFTER THE RAIN BEGAN AND WAS NOT THERE AT ANY TIME DURING THE MORNING I HAVE GREGSON'S WORD FOR THAT IT FOLLOWS THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THERE DURING THE NIGHT AND THEREFORE THAT IT BROUGHT THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS TO THE HOUSE </s>
<s> THAT SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH SAID I BUT HOW ABOUT THE OTHER MAN'S HEIGHT </s>
<s> WHY THE HEIGHT OF A MAN IN NINE CASES OUT OF TEN CAN BE TOLD FROM THE LENGTH OF HIS STRIDE </s>
<s> IT IS A SIMPLE CALCULATION ENOUGH THOUGH THERE IS NO USE MY BORING YOU WITH FIGURES </s>
<s> I HAD THIS FELLOW'S STRIDE BOTH ON THE CLAY OUTSIDE AND ON THE DUST WITHIN </s>
<s> THEN I HAD A WAY OF CHECKING MY CALCULATION </s>
<s> WHEN A MAN WRITES ON A WALL HIS INSTINCT LEADS HIM TO WRITE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF HIS OWN EYES </s>
<s> NOW THAT WRITING WAS JUST OVER SIX FEET FROM THE GROUND </s>
<s> IT WAS CHILD'S PLAY </s>
<s> QUOTE AND HIS AGE QUOTE </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> WELL IF A MAN CAN STRIDE FOUR AND A HALF FEET WITHOUT THE SMALLEST EFFORT HE CAN'T BE QUITE IN THE SERE AND YELLOW </s>
<s> THAT WAS THE BREADTH OF A PUDDLE ON THE GARDEN WALK WHICH HE HAD EVIDENTLY WALKED ACROSS </s>
<s> PATENT LEATHER BOOTS HAD GONE ROUND AND SQUARE TOES HAD HOPPED OVER </s>
<s> THERE IS NO MYSTERY ABOUT IT AT ALL </s>
<s> I AM SIMPLY APPLYING TO ORDINARY LIFE A FEW OF THOSE PRECEPTS OF OBSERVATION AND DEDUCTION WHICH I ADVOCATED IN THAT ARTICLE </s>
<s> IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT PUZZLES YOU </s>
<s> THE FINGER NAILS AND THE TRICHINOPOLY I SUGGESTED </s>
<s> THE WRITING ON THE WALL WAS DONE WITH A MAN'S FOREFINGER DIPPED IN BLOOD </s>
<s> MY GLASS ALLOWED ME TO OBSERVE THAT THE PLASTER WAS SLIGHTLY SCRATCHED IN DOING IT WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE IF THE MAN'S NAIL HAD BEEN TRIMMED </s>
<s> I GATHERED UP SOME SCATTERED ASH FROM THE FLOOR </s>
<s> IT WAS DARK IN COLOUR AND FLAKY SUCH AN ASH IS ONLY MADE BY A TRICHINOPOLY </s>
<s> I HAVE MADE A SPECIAL STUDY OF CIGAR ASHES IN FACT I HAVE WRITTEN A MONOGRAPH UPON THE SUBJECT </s>
<s> I FLATTER MYSELF THAT I CAN DISTINGUISH AT A GLANCE THE ASH OF ANY KNOWN BRAND EITHER OF CIGAR OR OF TOBACCO </s>
<s> IT IS JUST IN SUCH DETAILS THAT THE SKILLED DETECTIVE DIFFERS FROM THE GREGSON AND LESTRADE TYPE </s>
<s> QUOTE AND THE FLORID FACE QUOTE </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> AH THAT WAS A MORE DARING SHOT THOUGH I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT I WAS RIGHT </s>
<s> YOU MUST NOT ASK ME THAT AT THE PRESENT STATE OF THE AFFAIR </s>
<s> I PASSED MY HAND OVER MY BROW </s>
<s> MY HEAD IS IN A WHIRL I REMARKED THE MORE ONE THINKS OF IT THE MORE MYSTERIOUS IT GROWS </s>
<s> HOW CAME THESE TWO MEN IF THERE WERE TWO MEN INTO AN EMPTY HOUSE </s>
<s> WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE CABMAN WHO DROVE THEM </s>
<s> HOW COULD ONE MAN COMPEL ANOTHER TO TAKE POISON </s>
<s> WHERE DID THE BLOOD COME FROM </s>
<s> WHAT WAS THE OBJECT OF THE MURDERER SINCE ROBBERY HAD NO PART IN IT </s>
<s> HOW CAME THE WOMAN'S RING THERE </s>
<s> ABOVE ALL WHY SHOULD THE SECOND MAN WRITE UP THE GERMAN WORD RACHE BEFORE DECAMPING </s>
<s> I CONFESS THAT I CANNOT SEE ANY POSSIBLE WAY OF RECONCILING ALL THESE FACTS </s>
<s> MY COMPANION SMILED APPROVINGLY </s>
<s> YOU SUM UP THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE SITUATION SUCCINCTLY AND WELL HE SAID </s>
<s> QUOTE THERE IS MUCH THAT IS STILL OBSCURE THOUGH I HAVE QUITE MADE UP MY MIND ON THE MAIN FACTS </s>
<s> AS
