<s> SHE LOCKED BACK AT HIM AND SLOWED HER PACE </s>
<s> HE SLOWED ALSO </s>
<s> SHE STOPPED </s>
<s> HE AT ONCE STOPPED TOO KEEPING TWO HUNDRED YARDS BEHIND HER </s>
<s> HER NEXT MOVEMENT WAS AS UNEXPECTED AS IT WAS SPIRITED </s>
<s> SHE SUDDENLY WHISKED HER WHEELS ROUND AND DASHED STRAIGHT AT HIM </s>
<s> HE WAS AS QUICK AS SHE HOWEVER AND DARTED OFF IN DESPERATE FLIGHT </s>
<s> PRESENTLY SHE CAME BACK UP THE ROAD AGAIN HER HEAD HAUGHTILY IN THE AIR NOT DEIGNING TO TAKE ANY FURTHER NOTICE OF HER SILENT ATTENDANT </s>
<s> HE HAD TURNED ALSO AND STILL KEPT HIS DISTANCE UNTIL THE CURVE OF THE ROAD HID THEM FROM MY SIGHT </s>
<s> I REMAINED IN MY HIDING PLACE AND IT WAS WELL THAT I DID SO FOR PRESENTLY THE MAN REAPPEARED CYCLING SLOWLY BACK </s>

<s> THEN HE MOUNTED HIS CYCLE AND RODE AWAY FROM ME DOWN THE DRIVE TOWARDS THE HALL </s>
<s> I RAN ACROSS THE HEATH AND PEERED THROUGH THE TREES </s>
<s> FAR AWAY I COULD CATCH GLIMPSES OF THE OLD GRAY BUILDING WITH ITS BRISTLING TUDOR CHIMNEYS BUT THE DRIVE RAN THROUGH A DENSE SHRUBBERY AND I SAW NO MORE OF MY MAN </s>
<s> HOWEVER IT SEEMED TO ME THAT I HAD DONE A FAIRLY GOOD MORNING'S WORK AND I WALKED BACK IN HIGH SPIRITS TO FARNHAM </s>
<s> THE LOCAL HOUSE AGENT COULD TELL ME NOTHING ABOUT CHARLINGTON HALL AND REFERRED ME TO A WELL KNOWN FIRM IN PALL MALL </s>
<s> THERE I HALTED ON MY WAY HOME AND MET WITH COURTESY FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE </s>
<s> NO I COULD NOT HAVE CHARLINGTON HALL FOR THE SUMMER </s>
<s> I WAS JUST TOO LATE </s>
<s> IT HAD BEEN LET ABOUT A MONTH AGO </s>
<s> MR. WILLIAMSON WAS THE NAME OF THE TENANT </s>
<s> HE WAS A RESPECTABLE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN </s>
<s> THE POLITE AGENT WAS AFRAID HE COULD SAY NO MORE AS THE AFFAIRS OF HIS CLIENTS WERE NOT MATTERS WHICH HE COULD DISCUSS </s>
<s> MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES LISTENED WITH ATTENTION TO THE LONG REPORT WHICH I WAS ABLE TO PRESENT TO HIM THAT EVENING BUT IT DID NOT ELICIT THAT WORD OF CURT PRAISE WHICH I HAD HOPED FOR AND SHOULD HAVE VALUED </s>
<s> ON THE CONTRARY HIS AUSTERE FACE WAS EVEN MORE SEVERE THAN USUAL AS HE COMMENTED UPON THE THINGS THAT I HAD DONE AND THE THINGS THAT I HAD NOT </s>
<s> YOUR HIDING PLACE MY DEAR WATSON WAS VERY FAULTY </s>
<s> YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE HEDGE THEN YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A CLOSE VIEW OF THIS INTERESTING PERSON </s>
<s> AS IT IS YOU WERE SOME HUNDREDS OF YARDS AWAY AND CAN TELL ME EVEN LESS THAN MISS SMITH </s>
<s> SHE THINKS SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE MAN I AM CONVINCED SHE DOES </s>
<s> WHY OTHERWISE SHOULD HE BE SO DESPERATELY ANXIOUS THAT SHE SHOULD NOT GET SO NEAR HIM AS TO SEE HIS FEATURES </s>
<s> YOU DESCRIBE HIM AS BENDING OVER THE HANDLE BAR </s>

<s> THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU EVERY NAME FROM THE MASTER TO THE SCULLERY MAID </s>
<s> WILLIAMSON </s>
<s> IT CONVEYS NOTHING TO MY MIND </s>
<s> IF HE IS AN ELDERLY MAN HE IS NOT THIS ACTIVE CYCLIST WHO SPRINTS AWAY FROM THAT YOUNG LADY'S ATHLETIC PURSUIT </s>
<s> WHAT HAVE WE GAINED BY YOUR EXPEDITION </s>
<s> THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE GIRL'S STORY IS TRUE </s>
<s> I NEVER DOUBTED IT </s>
<s> THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CYCLIST AND THE HALL </s>
<s> I NEVER DOUBTED THAT EITHER </s>
<s> THAT THE HALL IS TENANTED BY WILLIAMSON </s>
<s> WHO'S THE BETTER FOR THAT </s>
<s> WELL WELL MY DEAR SIR DON'T LOOK SO DEPRESSED </s>
<s> WE CAN DO LITTLE MORE UNTIL NEXT SATURDAY AND IN THE MEANTIME I MAY MAKE ONE OR TWO INQUIRIES MYSELF </s>
<s> NEXT MORNING WE HAD A NOTE FROM MISS SMITH RECOUNTING SHORTLY AND ACCURATELY THE VERY INCIDENTS WHICH I HAD SEEN BUT THE PITH OF THE LETTER LAY IN THE POSTSCRIPT I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL RESPECT MY CONFIDENCE MR. HOLMES WHEN I TELL YOU THAT MY PLACE HERE HAS BECOME DIFFICULT OWING TO THE FACT THAT MY EMPLOYER HAS PROPOSED MARRIAGE TO ME </s>
<s> I AM CONVINCED THAT HIS FEELINGS ARE MOST DEEP AND MOST HONOURABLE </s>
<s> AT THE SAME TIME MY PROMISE IS OF COURSE GIVEN </s>
<s> HE TOOK MY REFUSAL VERY SERIOUSLY BUT ALSO VERY GENTLY </s>
<s> YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOWEVER THAT THE SITUA TION IS A LITTLE STRAINED </s>
<s> OUR YOUNG FRIEND SEEMS TO BE GETTING INTO DEEP WATERS SAID HOLMES THOUGHTFULLY AS HE FINISHED THE LETTER </s>
<s> THE CASE CERTAINLY PRESENTS MORE FEATURES OF INTEREST AND MORE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT THAN I HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT </s>
<s> I SHOULD BE NONE THE WORSE FOR A QUIET PEACEFUL DAY IN THE COUNTRY AND I AM INCLINED TO RUN DOWN THIS AFTERNOON AND TEST ONE OR TWO THEORIES WHICH I HAVE FORMED </s>
<s> HOLMES'S QUIET DAY IN THE COUNTRY HAD A SINGULAR TERMINATION FOR HE ARRIVED AT BAKER STREET LATE IN THE EVENING WITH A CUT LIP AND A DISCOLOURED LUMP UPON HIS FOREHEAD BESIDES A GENERAL AIR OF DISSIPATION WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE HIS OWN PERSON THE FITTING OBJECT OF A SCOTLAND YARD INVESTIGATION </s>
<s> HE WAS IMMENSELY TICKLED BY HIS OWN ADVENTURES AND LAUGHED HEARTILY AS HE RECOUNTED THEM </s>
<s> QUOTE I GET SO LITTLE ACTIVE EXERCISE THAT IT IS ALWAYS A TREAT QUOTE SAID HE </s>
<s> YOU ARE AWARE THAT I HAVE SOME PROFICIENCY IN THE GOOD OLD BRITISH SPORT OF BOXING </s>
<s> OCCASIONALLY IT IS OF SERVICE TODAY FOR EXAMPLE I SHOULD HAVE COME TO VERY IGNOMINIOUS GRIEF WITHOUT IT </s>
<s> I BEGGED HIM TO TELL ME WHAT HAD OCCURRED </s>
<s> I FOUND THAT COUNTRY PUB WHICH I HAD ALREADY RECOMMENDED TO YOUR NOTICE AND THERE I MADE MY DISCREET INQUIRIES </s>
<s> I WAS IN THE BAR AND A GARRULOUS LANDLORD WAS GIVING ME ALL THAT I WANTED </s>
<s> WILLIAMSON IS A WHITE BEARDED MAN AND HE LIVES ALONE WITH A SMALL STAFF OF SERVANTS AT THE HALL </s>
<s> THERE IS SOME RUMOR THAT HE IS OR HAS BEEN A CLERGYMAN BUT ONE OR TWO INCIDENTS OF HIS SHORT RESIDENCE AT THE HALL STRUCK ME AS PECULIARLY UNECCLESIASTICAL </s>
<s> I HAVE ALREADY MADE SOME INQUIRIES AT A CLERICAL AGENCY AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A MAN OF THAT NAME IN ORDERS WHOSE CAREER HAS BEEN A SINGULARLY DARK ONE </s>
<s> THE LANDLORD FURTHER INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE USUALLY WEEKEND VISITORS A WARM LOT SIR AT THE HALL AND ESPECIALLY ONE GENTLEMAN WITH A RED MOUSTACHE MR. WOODLEY BY NAME WHO WAS ALWAYS THERE </s>
<s> WE HAD GOT AS FAR AS THIS WHEN WHO SHOULD WALK IN BUT THE GENTLEMAN HIMSELF WHO HAD BEEN DRINKING HIS BEER IN THE TAPROOM AND HAD HEARD THE WHOLE CONVERSATION </s>
<s> WHO WAS L. </s>
<s> WHAT DID I WANT </s>
<s> WHAT DID I MEAN BY ASKING QUESTIONS </s>
<s> HE HAD A FINE FLOW OF LANGUAGE AND HIS ADJECTIVES WERE VERY VIGOROUS </s>
<s> HE ENDED A STRING OF ABUSE BY A VICIOUS BACKHANDER WHICH I FAILED TO ENTIRELY AVOID </s>
<s> THE NEXT FEW MINUTES WERE DELICIOUS </s>
<s> IT WAS A STRAIGHT LEFT AGAINST A SLOGGING RUFFIAN </s>
<s> I EMERGED AS YOU SEE ME </s>
<s> MR. WOODLEY WENT HOME IN A CART </s>
<s> SO ENDED MY COUNTRY TRIP AND IT MUST BE CONFESSED THAT HOWEVER ENJOYABLE MY DAY ON THE SURREY BORDER HAS NOT BEEN MUCH MORE PROFITABLE THAN YOUR OWN </s>
<s> THE THURSDAY BROUGHT US ANOTHER LETTER FROM OUR CLIENT </s>
<s> YOU WILL NOT BE SURPRISED MR. HOLMES SAID SHE TO HEAR THAT I AM LEAVING MR. CARRUTHERS'S EMPLOYMENT </s>
<s> EVEN THE HIGH PAY CANNOT RECONCILE ME TO THE DISCOMFORTS OF MY SITUATION </s>
<s> ON SATURDAY I COME UP TO TOWN AND I DO NOT INTEND TO RETURN </s>
<s> MR. CARRUTHERS HAS GOT A TRAP AND SO THE DANGERS OF THE LONELY ROAD IF THERE EVER WERE ANY DANGERS ARE NOW OVER </s>
<s> AS TO THE SPECIAL CAUSE OF MY LEAVING IT IS NOT MERELY THE STRAINED SITUATION WITH MR. CARRUTHERS BUT IT IS THE REAP PEARANCE OF THAT ODIOUS MAN MR. WOODLEY </s>
<s> HE WAS ALWAYS HIDEOUS BUT HE LOOKS MORE AWFUL THAN EVER NOW FOR HE APPEARS TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND HE IS MUCH DISFIGURED </s>
<s> I SAW HIM OUT OF THE WINDOW BUT I AM GLAD TO SAY I DID NOT MEET HIM </s>
<s> HE HAD A LONG TALK WITH MR. CARRUTHERS WHO SEEMED MUCH EXCITED AFTERWARDS </s>
<s> WOODLEY MUST BE STAYING IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD FOR HE DID NOT SLEEP HERE AND YET I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HIM AGAIN THIS MORNING SLINKING ABOUT IN THE SHRUBBERY </s>
<s> I WOULD SOONER HAVE A SAVAGE WILD ANIMAL LOOSE ABOUT THE PLACE </s>
<s> I LOATHE AND FEAR HIM MORE THAN I CAN SAY </s>
<s> HOW CAN MR. CARRUTHERS ENDURE SUCH A CREATURE FOR A MOMENT </s>
<s> HOWEVER ALL MY TROUBLES WILL BE OVER ON SATURDAY </s>
<s> SO I TRUST WATSON SO I TRUST SAID HOLMES GRAVELY </s>
<s> QUOTE THERE IS SOME DEEP INTRIGUE GOING ON ROUND THAT LITTLE WOMAN AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO SEE THAT NO ONE MOLESTS HER UPON THAT LAST JOURNEY </s>
<s> I THINK WATSON THAT WE MUST SPARE TIME TO RUN DOWN TOGETHER ON SATURDAY MORNING AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS CURIOUS AND INCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION HAS NO UNTOWARD ENDING </s>
<s> I CONFESS THAT I HAD NOT UP TO NOW TAKEN A VERY SERIOUS VIEW OF THE CASE WHICH HAD SEEMED TO ME RATHER GROTESQUE AND BIZARRE THAN DANGEROUS </s>
<s> THAT A MAN SHOULD LIE IN WAIT FOR AND FOLLOW A VERY HANDSOME WOMAN IS NO UNHEARD OF THING AND IF HE HAS SO LITTLE AUDACITY THAT HE NOT ONLY DARED NOT ADDRESS HER BUT EVEN FLED FROM HER APPROACH HE WAS NOT A VERY FORMIDABLE ASSAILANT </s>
<s> THE RUFFIAN WOODLEY WAS A VERY DIFFERENT PERSON BUT EXCEPT ON ONE OCCASION HE HAD NOT MOLESTED OUR CLIENT AND NOW HE VISITED THE HOUSE OF CARRUTHERS WITHOUT INTRUDING UPON HER PRESENCE </s>
<s> THE MAN ON THE BICYCLE WAS DOUBTLESS A MEMBER OF THOSE WEEK END PARTIES AT THE HALL OF WHICH THE PUBLICAN HAD SPOKEN BUT WHO HE WAS OR WHAT HE WANTED WAS AS OBSCURE AS EVER </s>
<s> IT WAS THE SEVERITY OF HOLMES'S MANNER AND THE FACT THAT HE SLIPPED A REVOLVER INTO HIS POCKET BEFORE LEAVING OUR ROOMS WHICH IMPRESSED ME WITH THE FEELING THAT TRAGEDY MIGHT PROVE TO LURK BEHIND THIS CURIOUS TRAIN OF EVENTS </s>
<s> A RAINY NIGHT HAD BEEN FOLLOWED BY A GLORIOUS MORNING AND THE HEATH COVERED COUNTRYSIDE WITH THE GLOWING CLUMPS OF FLOWERING GORSE SEEMED ALL THE MORE BEAUTIFUL TO EYES WHICH WERE WEARY OF THE DUNS AND DRABS AND SLATE GRAYS OF LONDON </s>
<s> HOLMES AND I WALKED ALONG THE BROAD SANDY ROAD INHALING THE FRESH MORNING AIR AND REJOICING IN THE MUSIC OF THE BIRDS AND THE FRESH BREATH OF THE SPRING </s>
<s> FROM A RISE OF THE ROAD ON THE SHOULDER OF CROOKSBURY HILL WE COULD SEE THE GRIM HALL BRISTLING OUT FROM AMIDST THE ANCIENT OAKS WHICH OLD AS THEY WERE WERE STILL YOUNGER THAN THE BUILDING WHICH THEY SURROUNDED </s>
<s> HOLMES POINTED DOWN THE LONG TRACT OF ROAD WHICH WOUND A REDDISH YELLOW BAND BETWEEN THE BROWN OF THE HEATH AND THE BUDDING GREEN OF THE WOODS </s>
<s> FAR AWAY A BLACK DOT WE COULD SEE A VEHICLE MOVING IN OUR DIRECTION </s>
<s> HOLMES GAVE AN EXCLAMATION OF IMPATIENCE </s>
<s> I HAVE GIVEN A MARGIN OF HALF AN HOUR SAID HE </s>
<s> IF THAT IS HER TRAP SHE MUST BE MAKING FOR THE EARLIER TRAIN </s>
<s> I FEAR WATSON THAT SHE WILL BE PAST CHARLINGTON BEFORE WE CAN POSSIBLY MEET HER </s>
<s> FROM THE INSTANT THAT WE PASSED THE RISE WE COULD NO LONGER SEE THE VEHICLE BUT WE HASTENED ONWARD AT SUCH A PACE THAT MY SEDENTARY LIFE BEGAN TO TELL UPON ME AND I WAS COMPELLED TO FALL BEHIND </s>
<s> HOLMES HOWEVER WAS ALWAYS IN TRAINING FOR HE HAD INEXHAUSTIBLE STORES OF NERVOUS ENERGY UPON WHICH TO DRAW </s>
<s> HIS SPRINGY STEP NEVER SLOWED UNTIL SUDDENLY WHEN HE WAS A HUNDRED YARDS IN FRONT OF ME HE HALTED AND I SAW HIM THROW UP HIS HAND WITH A GESTURE OF GRIEF AND DESPAIR </s>
<s> AT THE SAME INSTANT AN EMPTY DOG CART THE HORSE CANTERING THE REINS TRAILING APPEARED ROUND THE CURVE OF THE ROAD AND RATTLED SWIFTLY TOWARDS US </s>
<s> TOO LATE WATSON TOO LATE CRIED HOLMES AS I RAN PANTING TO HIS SIDE </s>
<s> QUOTE FOOL THAT I WAS NOT TO ALLOW FOR THAT EARLIER TRAIN </s>
<s> IT'S ABDUCTION WATSON ABDUCTION </s>
<s> MURDER </s>
<s> HEAVEN KNOWS WHATL BLOCK THE ROAD </s>
<s> STOP THE HORSE </s>
<s> THAT'S RIGHT </s>
<s> NOW JUMP IN AND LET US SEE IF I CAN REPAIR THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY OWN BLUNDER </s>
<s> WE HAD SPRUNG INTO THE DOG CART AND HOLMES AFTER TURNING THE HORSE GAVE IT A SHARP CUT WITH THE WHIP AND WE FLEW BACK ALONG THE ROAD </s>
<s> AS WE TURNED THE CURVE THE WHOLE STRETCH OF ROAD BETWEEN THE HALL AND THE HEATH WAS OPENED UP </s>
<s> I GRASPED HOLMES'S ARM </s>
<s> THAT'S THE MAN </s>
<s> I GASPED </s>
<s> A SOLITARY CYCLIST WAS COMING TOWARDS US </s>
<s> HIS HEAD WAS DOWN AND HIS SHOULDERS ROUNDED AS HE PUT EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY THAT HE POSSESSED ON TO THE PEDALS </s>
<s> HE WAS FLYING LIKE A RACER </s>
<s> SUDDENLY HE RAISED HIS BEARDED FACE SAW US CLOSE TO HIM AND PULLED UP SPRINGING FROM HIS MACHINE </s>
<s> THAT COAL BLACK BEARD WAS IN SINGULAR CONTRAST TO THE PALLOR OF HIS FACE AND HIS EYES WERE AS BRIGHT AS IF HE HAD A FEVER </s>
<s> HE STARED AT US AND AT THE DOG CART </s>
<s> THEN A LOOK OF AMAZEMENT CAME OVER HIS FACE </s>
<s> HALLOA </s>
<s> STOP THERE HE SHOUTED HOLDING HIS BICYCLE TO BLOCK OUR ROAD </s>

<s> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU </s>
<s> YOU'RE IN HER DOG CART </s>
