<s> QUOTE I'M SURE WATSON A WEEK IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE INVALUABLE TO YOU QUOTE HE REMARKED </s>
<s> IT IS VERY PLEASANT TO SEE THE FIRST GREEN SHOOTS UPON THE HEDGES AND THE CATKINS ON THE HAZELS ONCE AGAIN </s>
<s> WITH A SPUD A TIN BOX AND AN ELEMENTARY BOOK ON BOTANY THERE ARE INSTRUCTIVE DAYS TO BE SPENT </s>
<s> HE PROWLED ABOUT WITH THIS EQUIPMENT HIMSELF BUT IT WAS A POOR SHOW OF PLANTS WHICH HE WOULD BRING BACK OF AN EVENING </s>
<s> OCCASIONALLY IN OUR RAMBLES WE CAME ACROSS INSPECTOR BAYNES </s>
<s> HIS FAT RED FACE WREATHED ITSELF IN SMILES AND HIS SMALL EYES GLITTERED AS HE GREETED MY COMPANION </s>
<s> HE SAID LITTLE ABOUT THE CASE BUT FROM THAT LITTLE WE GATHERED THAT HE ALSO WAS NOT DISSATISFIED AT THE COURSE OF EVENTS </s>
<s> I MUST ADMIT HOWEVER THAT I WAS SOMEWHAT SURPRISED WHEN SOME FIVE DAYS AFTER THE CRIME I OPENED MY MORNING PAPER TO FIND IN LARGE LETTERS THE OXSHOTT MYSTERY A SOLUTION ARREST OF SUPPOSED ASSASSIN </s>
<s> HOLMES SPRANG IN HIS CHAIR AS IF HE HAD BEEN STUNG WHEN I READ THE HEADLINES </s>
<s> BY JOVE HE CRIED </s>
<s> YOU DON'T MEAN THAT BAYNES HAS GOT HIM </s>
<s> APPARENTLY SAID I AS I READ THE FOLLOWING REPORT GREAT EXCITEMENT WAS CAUSED IN ESHER AND THE NEIGH BOURING DISTRICT WHEN IT WAS LEARNED LATE LAST NIGHT THAT AN ARREST HAD BEEN EFFECTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE OXSHOTT MURDER </s>
<s> IT WILL BE REMEMBERED THAT MR. GARCIA OF WISTE RIA LODGE WAS FOUND DEAD ON OXSHOTT COMMON HIS BODY SHOWING SIGNS OF EXTREME VIOLENCE AND THAT ON THE SAME NIGHT HIS SERVANT AND HIS COOK FLED WHICH APPEARED TO SHOW THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE CRIME </s>
<s> IT WAS SUGGESTED BUT NEVER PROVED THAT THE DECEASED GENTLEMAN MAY HAVE HAD VALU ABLES IN THE HOUSE AND THAT THEIR ABSTRACTION WAS THE MOTIVE OF THE CRIME </s>
<s> EVERY EFFORT WAS MADE BY INSPECTOR BAYNES WHO HAS THE CASE IN HAND TO ASCERTAIN THE HIDING PLACE OF THE FUGITIVES AND HE HAD GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAD NOT GONE FAR BUT WERE LURKING IN SOME RETREAT WHICH HAD BEEN ALREADY PREPARED </s>
<s> IT WAS CERTAIN FROM THE FIRST HOW EVER THAT THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY BE DETECTED AS THE COOK FROM THE EVIDENCE OF ONE OR TWO TRADESPEOPLE WHO HAVE CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HIM THROUGH THE WINDOW WAS A MAN OF MOST REMARKABLE APPEARANCE BEING A HUGE AND HIDEOUS MULATTO WITH YELLOWISH FEATURES OF A PRONOUNCED NEGROID TYPE </s>
<s> THIS MAN HAS BEEN SEEN SINCE THE CRIME FOR HE WAS DETECTED AND PURSUED BY CONSTABLE WALTERS ON THE SAME EVENING WHEN HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO REVISIT WISTERIA LODGE </s>
<s> INSPECTOR BAYNES CONSIDERING THAT SUCH A VISIT MUST HAVE SOME PURPOSE IN VIEW AND WAS LIKELY THEREFORE TO BE REPEATED ABANDONED THE HOUSE BUT LEFT AN AMBUSCADE IN THE SHRUBBERY </s>
<s> THE MAN WALKED INTO THE TRAP AND WAS CAPTURED LAST NIGHT AFTER A STRUGGLE IN WHICH CONSTABLE DOWNING WAS BADLY BITTEN BY THE SAVAGE </s>
<s> WE UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THE PRISONER IS BROUGHT BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES A REMAND WILL BE APPLIED FOR BY THE POLICE AND THAT GREAT DEVELOPMENTS ARE HOPED FROM HIS CAPTURE QUOTE </s>
<s> REALLY WE MUST SEE BAYNES AT ONCE CRIED HOLMES PICKING UP HIS HAT </s>
<s> WE WILL JUST CATCH HIM BEFORE HE STARTS </s>
<s> WE HURRIED DOWN THE VILLAGE STREET AND FOUND AS WE HAD EXPECTED THAT THE INSPECTOR WAS JUST LEAVING HIS LODGINGS </s>
<s> YOU'VE SEEN THE PAPER MR. HOLMES HE ASKED HOLDING ONE OUT TO US </s>
<s> YES BAYNES I'VE SEEN IT </s>
<s> PRAY DON'T THINK IT A LIBERTY IF I GIVE YOU A WORD OF FRIENDLY WARNING </s>
<s> QUOTE OF WARNING MR. HOLMES QUOTE </s>
<s> I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS CASE WITH SOME CARE AND I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT LINES </s>
<s> I DON'T WANT YOU TO COMMIT YOURSELF TOO FAR UNLESS YOU ARE SURE </s>
<s> YOU'RE VERY KIND MR. HOLMES </s>
<s> I ASSURE YOU I SPEAK FOR YOUR GOOD </s>
<s> IT SEEMED TO ME THAT SOMETHING LIKE A WINK QUIVERED FOR AN INSTANT OVER ONE OF MR. BAYNES'S TINY EYES </s>
<s> WE AGREED TO WORK ON OUR OWN LINES MR. HOLMES </s>
<s> THAT'S WHAT I AM DOING QUOTE </s>
<s> OH VERY GOOD SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> DON'T BLAME ME </s>
<s> NO SIR I BELIEVE YOU MEAN WELL BY ME </s>
<s> BUT WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN SYSTEMS MR. HOLMES </s>
<s> YOU HAVE YOURS AND MAYBE I HAVE MINE </s>
<s> LET US SAY NO MORE ABOUT IT </s>
<s> QUOTE YOU'RE WELCOME ALWAYS TO MY NEWS </s>
<s> THIS FELLOW IS A PERFECT SAVAGE AS STRONG AS A CART HORSE AND AS FIERCE AS THE DEVIL </s>
<s> HE CHEWED DOWNING'S THUMB NEARLY OFF BEFORE THEY COULD MASTER HIM </s>
<s> HE HARDLY SPEAKS A WORD OF ENGLISH AND WE CAN GET NOTHING OUT OF HIM BUT GRUNTS </s>
<s> AND YOU THINK YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THAT HE MURDERED HIS LATE MASTER </s>
<s> I DIDN'T SAY SO MR. HOLMES I DIDN'T SAY SO </s>
<s> WE ALL HAVE OUR LITTLE WAYS </s>
<s> YOU TRY YOURS AND I WILL TRY MINE </s>
<s> THAT'S THE AGREEMENT </s>
<s> HOLMES SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AS WE WALKED AWAY TOGETHER </s>
<s> I CAN'T MAKE THE MAN OUT </s>
<s> HE SEEMS TO BE RIDING FOR A FALL </s>
<s> WELL AS HE SAYS WE MUST EACH TRY OUR OWN WAY AND SEE WHAT COMES OF IT </s>
<s> BUT THERE'S SOMETHING IN INSPECTOR BAYNES WHICH I CAN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND QUOTE </s>
<s> JUST SIT DOWN IN THAT CHAIR WATSON SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES WHEN WE HAD RETURNED TO OUR APARTMENT AT THE BULL </s>
<s> I WANT TO PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE SITUATION AS I MAY NEED YOUR HELP TO NIGHT </s>
<s> LET ME SHOW YOU THE EVOLUTION OF THIS CASE SO FAR AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW IT </s>
<s> SIMPLE AS IT HAS BEEN IN ITS LEADING FEATURES IT HAS NONE THE LESS PRESENTED SURPRISING DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF AN ARREST </s>
<s> THERE ARE GAPS IN THAT DIRECTION WHICH WE HAVE STILL TO FILL </s>
<s> WE WILL GO BACK TO THE NOTE WHICH WAS HANDED IN TO GARCIA UPON THE EVENING OF HIS DEATH </s>
<s> WE MAY PUT ASIDE THIS IDEA OF BAYNES'S THAT GARCIA'S SERVANTS WERE CONCERNED IN THE MATTER </s>
<s> THE PROOF OF THIS LIES IN THE FACT THAT IT WAS HE WHO HAD ARRANGED FOR THE PRESENCE OF SCOTT ECCLES WHICH COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN DONE FOR THE PURPOSE OF AN ALIBI </s>
<s> IT WAS GARCIA THEN WHO HAD AN ENTERPRISE AND APPARENTLY A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IN HAND THAT NIGHT IN THE COURSE OF WHICH HE MET HIS DEATH </s>
<s> I SAY CRIMINAL BECAUSE ONLY A MAN WITH A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE DESIRES TO ESTABLISH AN ALIBI </s>
<s> WHO THEN IS MOST LIKELY TO HAVE TAKEN HIS LIFE </s>
<s> SURELY THE PERSON AGAINST WHOM THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE WAS DIRECTED </s>
<s> SO FAR IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE ARE ON SAFE GROUND </s>
<s> WE CAN NOW SEE A REASON FOR THE DISAPPEARANCE OF GARCIA'S HOUSEHOLD </s>
<s> THEY WERE ALL CONFEDERATES IN THE SAME UNKNOWN CRIME </s>
<s> IF IT CAME OFF WHEN GARCIA RETURNED ANY POSSIBLE SUSPICION WOULD BE WARDED OFF BY THE ENGLISHMAN'S EVIDENCE AND ALL WOULD BE WELL </s>
<s> BUT THE ATTEMPT WAS A DANGEROUS ONE AND IF GARCIA DID NOT RETURN BY A CERTAIN HOUR IT WAS PROBABLE THAT HIS OWN LIFE HAD BEEN SACRIFICED </s>
<s> IT HAD BEEN ARRANGED THEREFORE THAT IN SUCH A CASE HIS TWO SUBORDINATES WERE TO MAKE FOR SOME PREARRANGED SPOT WHERE THEY COULD ESCAPE INVESTIGATION AND BE IN A POSITION AFTERWARDS TO RENEW THEIR ATTEMPT </s>
<s> THAT WOULD FULLY EXPLAIN THE FACTS WOULD IT NOT </s>
<s> THE WHOLE INEXPLICABLE TANGLE SEEMED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT BEFORE ME </s>
<s> I WONDERED AS I ALWAYS DID HOW IT HAD NOT BEEN OBVIOUS TO ME BEFORE </s>
<s> QUOTE BUT WHY SHOULD ONE SERVANT RETURN QUOTE </s>
<s> WE CAN IMAGINE THAT IN THE CONFUSION OF FLIGHT SOMETHING PRECIOUS SOMETHING WHICH HE COULD NOT BEAR TO PART WITH HAD BEEN LEFT BEHIND </s>
<s> THAT WOULD EXPLAIN HIS PERSISTENCE WOULD IT NOT </s>
<s> WELL WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP </s>
<s> THE NEXT STEP IS THE NOTE RECEIVED BY GARCIA AT THE DINNER </s>
<s> IT INDICATES A CONFEDERATE AT THE OTHER END </s>
<s> NOW WHERE WAS THE OTHER END </s>
<s> I HAVE ALREADY SHOWN YOU THAT IT COULD ONLY LIE IN SOME LARGE HOUSE AND THAT THE NUMBER OF LARGE HOUSES IS LIMITED </s>
<s> MY FIRST DAYS IN THIS VILLAGE WERE DEVOTED TO A SERIES OF WALKS IN WHICH IN THE INTERVALS OF MY BOTANICAL RESEARCHES I MADE A RECONNAISSANCE OF ALL THE LARGE HOUSES AND AN EXAMINATION OF THE FAMILY HISTORY OF THE OCCUPANTS </s>
<s> ONE HOUSE AND ONLY ONE RIVETED MY ATTENTION </s>
<s> IT IS THE FAMOUS OLD JACOBEAN GRANGE OF HIGH GABLE ONE MILE ON THE FARTHER SIDE OF OXSHOTT AND LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM THE SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY </s>
<s> THE OTHER MANSIONS BELONGED TO PROSAIC AND RESPECTABLE PEOPLE WHO LIVE FAR ALOOF FROM ROMANCE </s>
<s> BUT MR. HENDERSON OF HIGH GABLE WAS BY ALL ACCOUNTS A CURIOUS MAN TO WHOM CURIOUS ADVENTURES MIGHT BEFALL </s>
<s> I CONCENTRATED MY ATTENTION THEREFORE UPON HIM AND HIS HOUSEHOLD </s>
<s> A SINGULAR SET OF PEOPLE WATSON THE MAN HIMSELF THE MOST SINGULAR OF THEM ALL </s>
<s> I MANAGED TO SEE HIM ON A PLAUSIBLE PRETEXT BUT I SEEMED TO READ IN HIS DARK DEEP SET BROODING EYES THAT HE WAS PERFECTLY AWARE OF MY TRUE BUSINESS </s>
<s> HE IS A MAN OF FIFTY STRONG ACTIVE WITH IRON GRAY HAIR GREAT BUNCHED BLACK EYEBROWS THE STEP OF A DEER AND THE AIR OF AN EMPEROR A FIERCE MASTERFUL MAN WITH A RED HOT SPIRIT BEHIND HIS PARCHMENT FACE </s>
<s> HE IS EITHER A FOREIGNER OR HAS LIVED LONG IN THE TROPICS FOR HE IS YELLOW AND SAPLESS BUT TOUGH AS WHIPCORD </s>
<s> HIS FRIEND AND SECRETARY MR. LUCAS IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FOREIGNER CHOCOLATE BROWN WILY SUAVE AND CAT LIKE WITH A POISONOUS GENTLENESS OF SPEECH </s>
<s> YOU SEE WATSON WE HAVE COME ALREADY UPON TWO SETS OF FOREIGNERS ONE AT WISTERIA LODGE AND ONE AT HIGH GABLE SO OUR GAPS ARE BEGINNING TO CLOSE </s>
<s> QUOTE THESE TWO MEN CLOSE AND CONFIDENTIAL FRIENDS ARE THE CENTRE OF THE HOUSEHOLD BUT THERE IS ONE OTHER PERSON WHO FOR OUR IMMEDIATE PURPOSE MAY BE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT </s>
<s> HENDERSON HAS TWO CHILDREN GIRLS OF ELEVEN AND THIRTEEN </s>
<s> THEIR GOVERNESS IS A MISS BURNET AN ENGLISHWOMAN OF FORTY OR THEREABOUTS </s>
<s> THERE IS ALSO ONE CONFIDENTIAL MANSERVANT </s>
<s> THIS LITTLE GROUP FORMS THE REAL FAMILY FOR THEY TRAVEL ABOUT TOGETHER AND HENDERSON IS A GREAT TRAVELLER ALWAYS ON THE MOVE </s>
<s> IT IS ONLY WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT HE HAS RETURNED AFTER A YEAR'S ABSENCE TO HIGH GABLE </s>
<s> I MAY ADD THAT HE IS ENORMOUSLY RICH AND WHATEVER HIS WHIMS MAY BE HE CAN VERY EASILY SATISFY THEM </s>
<s> FOR THE REST HIS HOUSE IS FULL OF BUTLERS FOOTMEN MAIDSERVANTS AND THE USUAL OVERFED UNDERWORKED STAFF OF A LARGE ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE </s>
<s> SO MUCH I LEARNED PARTLY FROM VILLAGE GOSSIP AND PARTLY FROM MY OWN OBSERVATION </s>
<s> THERE ARE NO BETTER INSTRUMENTS THAN DISCHARGED SERVANTS WITH A GRIEVANCE AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND ONE </s>
<s> I CALL IT LUCK BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE COME MY WAY HAD I NOT BEEN LOOKING OUT FOR IT </s>
<s> AS BAYNES REMARKS WE ALL HAVE OUR SYSTEMS </s>
<s> IT WAS MY SYSTEM WHICH ENABLED ME TO FIND JOHN WARNER LATE GARDENER OF HIGH GABLE SACKED IN A MOMENT OF TEMPER BY HIS IMPERIOUS EMPLOYER </s>
<s> HE IN TURN HAD FRIENDS AMONG THE INDOOR SERVANTS WHO UNITE IN THEIR FEAR AND DISLIKE OF THEIR MASTER </s>
<s> SO I HAD MY KEY TO THE SECRETS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT </s>
<s> CURIOUS PEOPLE WATSON </s>
<s> I DON'T PRETEND TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL YET BUT VERY CURIOUS PEOPLE ANYWAY </s>
<s> IT'S A DOUBLE WINGED HOUSE AND THE SERVANTS LIVE ON ONE SIDE THE FAMILY ON THE OTHER </s>
<s> THERE'S NO LINK BETWEEN THE TWO SAVE FOR HENDERSON'S OWN SERVANT WHO SERVES THE FAMILY'S MEALS </s>
<s> EVERYTHING IS CARRIED TO A CERTAIN DOOR WHICH FORMS THE ONE CONNECTION </s>
<s> GOVERNESS AND CHILDREN HARDLY GO OUT AT ALL EXCEPT INTO THE GARDEN </s>
<s> HENDERSON NEVER BY ANY CHANCE WALKS ALONE </s>
<s> HIS DARK SECRETARY IS LIKE HIS SHADOW </s>
<s> THE GOSSIP AMONG THE SERVANTS IS THAT THEIR MASTER IS TERRIBLY AFRAID OF SOMETHING </s>
<s> SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL IN EXCHANGE FOR MONEY SAYS WARNER AND EXPECTS HIS CREDITOR TO COME UP AND CLAIM HIS OWN </s>
<s> WHERE THEY CAME FROM OR WHO THEY ARE NOBODY HAS AN IDEA </s>
<s> THEY ARE VERY VIOLENT </s>
<s> TWICE HENDERSON HAS LASHED AT FOLK WITH HIS DOG WHIP AND ONLY HIS LONG PURSE AND HEAVY COMPENSATION HAVE KEPT HIM OUT OF THE COURTS </s>
<s> WELL NOW WATSON LET US JUDGE THE SITUATION BY THIS NEW INFORMATION </s>
<s> WE MAY TAKE IT THAT THE LETTER CAME OUT OF THIS STRANGE HOUSEHOLD AND WAS AN INVITATION TO GARCIA TO CARRY OUT SOME ATTEMPT WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN PLANNED </s>
<s> WHO WROTE THE NOTE </s>
<s> IT WAS SOMEONE WITHIN THE CITADEL AND IT WAS A WOMAN </s>
<s> WHO THEN BUT MISS BURNET THE GOVERNESS </s>
<s> ALL OUR REASONING SEEMS TO POINT THAT WAY </s>
<s> AT ANY RATE WE MAY TAKE IT AS A HYPOTHESIS AND SEE WHAT CONSEQUENCES IT WOULD ENTAIL </s>
<s> I MAY ADD THAT MISS BURNET'S AGE AND CHARACTER MAKE IT CERTAIN THAT MY FIRST IDEA THAT THERE MIGHT BE A LOVE INTEREST IN OUR STORY IS OUT OF THE QUESTION </s>
<s> IF SHE WROTE THE NOTE SHE WAS PRESUMABLY THE FRIEND AND CONFEDERATE OF GARCIA </s>
<s> WHAT THEN MIGHT SHE BE EXPECTED TO DO IF SHE HEARD OF HIS DEATH </s>
<s> IF HE MET IT IN SOME NEFARIOUS ENTERPRISE HER LIPS MIGHT BE SEALED </s>
<s> STILL IN HER HEART SHE MUST RETAIN BITTERNESS AND HATRED AGAINST THOSE WHO HAD KILLED HIM AND WOULD PRESUMABLY HELP SO FAR AS SHE COULD TO HAVE REVENGE UPON THEM </s>
<s> COULD WE SEE HER THEN AND TRY TO USE HER </s>
<s> THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT </s>
<s> BUT NOW WE COME TO A SINISTER FACT </s>
<s> MISS BURNET HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY ANY HUMAN EYE SINCE THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER </s>
<s> FROM THAT EVENING SHE HAS UTTERLY VANISHED </s>
<s> IS SHE ALIVE </s>
<s> HAS SHE PERHAPS MET HER END ON THE SAME NIGHT AS THE FRIEND WHOM SHE HAD SUMMONED </s>
<s> OR IS SHE MERELY A PRISONER </s>
<s> THERE IS THE POINT WHICH WE STILL HAVE TO DECIDE </s>
<s> YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE DIFFICULTY OF THE SITUATION WATSON </s>
<s> THERE IS NOTHING UPON WHICH WE CAN APPLY FOR A WARRANT </s>
<s> OUR WHOLE SCHEME MIGHT SEEM FANTASTIC IF LAID BEFORE A MAGISTRATE </s>
<s> THE WOMAN'S DISAPPEARANCE COUNTS FOR NOTHING SINCE IN THAT EXTRAORDINARY HOUSEHOLD ANY MEMBER OF IT MIGHT BE INVISIBLE FOR A WEEK </s>
<s> AND YET SHE MAY AT THE PRESENT MOMENT BE IN DANGER OF HER LIFE </s>
<s> ALL I CAN DO IS TO WATCH THE HOUSE AND LEAVE MY AGENT WARNER ON GUARD AT THE GATES </s>
<s> WE CAN'T LET SUCH A SITUATION CONTINUE </s>
<s> IF THE LAW CAN DO NOTHING WE MUST TAKE THE RISK OURSELVES QUOTE </s>
<s> WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST </s>
