<s> OUT CAME THE OFFICIAL NOTEBOOK </s>
<s> WAIT A BIT GREGSON SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> ALL YOU DESIRE IS A PLAIN STATEMENT IS IT NOT </s>
<s> AND IT IS MY DUTY TO WARN MR. SCOTT ECCLES THAT IT MAY BE USED AGAINST HIM </s>
<s> MR. ECCLES WAS GOING TO TELL US ABOUT IT WHEN YOU ENTERED THE ROOM </s>
<s> I THINK WATSON A BRANDY AND SODA WOULD DO HIM NO HARM </s>
<s> NOW SIR I SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE NO NOTICE OF THIS ADDITION TO YOUR AUDIENCE AND THAT YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR NARRATIVE EXACTLY AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE HAD YOU NEVER BEEN INTERRUPTED </s>
<s> OUR VISITOR HAD GULPED OFF THE BRANDY AND THE COLOUR HAD RETURNED TO HIS FACE </s>
<s> WITH A DUBIOUS GLANCE AT THE INSPECTOR'S NOTEBOOK HE PLUNGED AT ONCE INTO HIS EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT </s>
<s> QUOTE I AM A BACHELOR QUOTE SAID HE QUOTE AND BEING OF A SOCIABLE TURN I CULTIVATE A LARGE NUMBER OF FRIENDS </s>
<s> AMONG THESE ARE THE FAMILY OF A RETIRED BREWER CALLED MELVILLE LIVING AT ALBEMARLE MANSION KENSINGTON </s>
<s> IT WAS AT HIS TABLE THAT I MET SOME WEEKS AGO A YOUNG FELLOW NAMED GARCIA </s>
<s> HE WAS I UNDERSTOOD OF SPANISH DESCENT AND CONNECTED IN SOME WAY WITH THE EMBASSY </s>
<s> HE SPOKE PERFECT ENGLISH WAS PLEASING IN HIS MANNERS AND AS GOODLOOKING A MAN AS EVER I SAW IN MY LIFE </s>
<s> IN SOME WAY WE STRUCK UP QUITE A FRIENDSHIP THIS YOUNG FELLOW AND I. HE SEEMED TO TAKE A FANCY TO ME FROM THE FIRST AND WITHIN TWO DAYS OF OUR MEETING HE CAME TO SEE ME AT LEE </s>
<s> ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND IT ENDED IN HIS INVITING ME OUT TO SPEND A FEW DAYS AT HIS HOUSE WISTERIA LODGE BETWEEN ESHER AND OXSHOTT </s>
<s> YESTERDAY EVENING I WENT TO ESHER TO FULFIL THIS ENGAGEMENT </s>
<s> HE HAD DESCRIBED HIS HOUSEHOLD TO ME BEFORE I WENT THERE </s>
<s> HE LIVED WITH A FAITHFUL SERVANT A COUNTRYMAN OF HIS OWN WHO LOOKED AFTER ALL HIS NEEDS </s>
<s> THIS FELLOW COULD SPEAK ENGLISH AND DID HIS HOUSEKEEPING FOR HIM </s>
<s> THEN THERE WAS A WONDERFUL COOK HE SAID A HALF BREED WHOM HE HAD PICKED UP IN HIS TRAVELS WHO COULD SERVE AN EXCELLENT DINNER </s>
<s> I REMEMBER THAT HE REMARKED WHAT A QUEER HOUSEHOLD IT WAS TO FIND IN THE HEART OF SURREY AND THAT I AGREED WITH HIM THOUGH IT HAS PROVED A GOOD DEAL QUEERER THAN I THOUGHT </s>
<s> I DROVE TO THE PLACE ABOUT TWO MILES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF ESHER </s>
<s> THE HOUSE WAS A FAIR SIZED ONE STANDING BACK FROM THE ROAD WITH A CURVING DRIVE WHICH WAS BANKED WITH HIGH EVERGREEN SHRUBS </s>
<s> IT WAS AN OLD TUMBLE DOWN BUILDING IN A CRAZY STATE OF DISREPAIR </s>
<s> WHEN THE TRAP PULLED UP ON THE GRASS GROWN DRIVE IN FRONT OF THE BLOTCHED AND WEATHER STAINED DOOR I HAD DOUBTS AS TO MY WISDOM IN VISITING A MAN WHOM I KNEW SO SLIGHTLY </s>
<s> HE OPENED THE DOOR HIMSELF HOWEVER AND GREETED ME WLTH A GREAT SHOW OF CORDIALITY </s>
<s> I WAS HANDED OVER TO THE MANSERVANT A MELANCHOLY SWARTHY INDIVIDUAL WHO LED THE WAY MY BAG IN HIS HAND TO MY BEDROOM </s>
<s> THE WHOLE PLACE WAS DEPRESSING </s>
<s> OUR DINNER WAS TETE A TETE AND THOUGH MY HOST DID HIS BEST TO BE ENTERTAINING HIS THOUGHTS SEEMED TO CONTINUALLY WANDER AND HE TALKED SO VAGUELY AND WILDLY THAT I COULD HARDLY UNDERSTAND HIM </s>
<s> HE CONTINUALLY DRUMMED HIS FINGERS ON THE TABLE GNAWED HIS NAILS AND GAVE OTHER SIGNS OF NERVOUS IMPATIENCE </s>
<s> THE DINNER ITSELF WAS NEITHER WELL SERVED NOR WELL COOKED AND THE GLOOMY PRESENCE OF THE TACITURN SERVANT DID NOT HELP TO ENLIVEN US </s>
<s> I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MANY TIMES IN THE COURSE OF THE EVENING I WISHED THAT I COULD INVENT SOME EXCUSE WHICH WOULD TAKE ME BACK TO LEE </s>
<s> ONE THING COMES BACK TO MY MEMORY WHICH MAY HAVE A BEARING UPON THE BUSINESS THAT YOU TWO GENTLEMEN ARE INVESTIGATING </s>
<s> I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT AT THE TIME </s>
<s> NEAR THE END OF DINNER A NOTE WAS HANDED IN BY THE SERVANT </s>
<s> I NOTICED THAT AFTER MY HOST HAD READ IT HE SEEMED EVEN MORE DISTRAIT AND STRANGE THAN BEFORE </s>
<s> HE GAVE UP ALL PRETENCE AT CONVERSATION AND SAT SMOKING ENDLESS CIGARETTES LOST IN HIS OWN THOUGHTS BUT HE MADE NO REMARK AS TO THE CONTENTS </s>
<s> ABOUT ELEVEN I WAS GLAD TO GO TO BED </s>
<s> SOME TIME LATER GARCIA LOOKED IN AT MY DOOR THE ROOM WAS DARK AT THE TIME AND ASKED ME IF I HAD RUNG </s>
<s> I SAID THAT I HAD NOT </s>
<s> HE APOLOGIZED FOR HAVING DISTURBED ME SO LATE SAYING THAT IT WAS NEARLY ONE O'CLOCK </s>
<s> I DROPPED OFF AFTER THIS AND SLEPT SOUNDLY ALL NIGHT </s>
<s> AND NOW I COME TO THE AMAZING PART OF MY TALE </s>
<s> WHEN I WOKE IT WAS BROAD DAYLIGHT </s>
<s> I GLANCED AT MY WATCH AND THE TIME WAS NEARLY NINE </s>
<s> I HAD PARTICULARLY ASKED TO BE CALLED AT EIGHT SO I WAS VERY MUCH ASTONISHED AT THIS FORGETFULNESS </s>
<s> I SPRANG UP AND RANG FOR THE SERVANT </s>
<s> THERE WAS NO RESPONSE </s>
<s> I RANG AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT </s>
<s> THEN I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BELL WAS OUT OF ORDER </s>
<s> I HUDDLED ON MY CLOTHES AND HURRIED DOWNSTAIRS IN AN EXCEEDINGLY BAD TEMPER TO ORDER SOME HOT WATER </s>
<s> YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE </s>
<s> I SHOUTED IN THE HALL </s>
<s> THERE WAS NO ANSWER </s>
<s> THEN I RAN FROM ROOM TO ROOM </s>
<s> ALL WERE DESERTED </s>
<s> MY HOST HAD SHOWN ME WHICH WAS HIS BEDROOM THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I KNOCKED AT THE DOOR </s>
<s> NO REPLY </s>
<s> I TURNED THE HANDLE AND WALKED IN </s>
