<s> THEY ARE IN THE BOWLING ALLEY CRIED THE STRANGER DARTING THROUGH THE BUSHES </s>
<s> AH THE COWARDLY DOGS </s>
<s> FOLLOW ME GENTLEMEN </s>
<s> TOO LATE TOO LATE BY THE LIVING JINGO </s>
<s> WE HAD BROKEN SUDDENLY INTO A LOVELY GLADE OF GREENSWARD SURROUNDED BY ANCIENT TREES </s>
<s> ON THE FARTHER SIDE OF IT UNDER THE SHADOW OF A MIGHTY OAK THERE STOOD A SINGULAR GROUP OF THREE PEOPLE </s>
<s> ONE WAS A WOMAN OUR CLIENT DROOPING AND FAINT A HANDKERCHIEF ROUND HER MOUTH </s>
<s> OPPOSITE HER STOOD A BRUTAL HEAVY FACED RED MOUSTACHED YOUNG MAN HIS GAITERED LEGS PARTED WIDE ONE ARM AKIMBO THE OTHER WAVING A RIDING CROP HIS WHOLE ATTITUDE SUGGESIVE OF TRIUMPHANT BRAVADO </s>
<s> BETWEEN THEM AN ELDERLY GRAY BEARDED MAN WEARING A SHORT SURPLICE OVER A LIGHT TWEED SUIT HAD EVIDENTLY JUST COMPLETED THE WEDDING SERVICE FOR HE POCKETED HIS PRAYER BOOK AS WE APPEARED AND SLAPPED THE SINISTER BRIDEGROOM UPON THE BACK IN JOVIAL CONGRATULATION </s>

<s> YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BEARD OFF BOB SAID HE </s>
<s> I KNOW YOU RIGHT ENOUGH </s>
<s> WELL YOU AND YOUR PALS HAVE JUST COME IN TIME FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MRS. WOODLEY </s>
<s> OUR GUIDE'S ANSWER WAS A SINGULAR ONE </s>
<s> HE SNATCHED OFF THE DARK BEARD WHICH HAD DISGUISED HIM AND THREW IT ON THE GROUND DISCLOSING A LONG SALLOW CLEAN SHAVEN FACE BELOW IT </s>
<s> THEN HE RAISED HIS REVOLVER AND COVERED THE YOUNG RUFFIAN WHO WAS ADVANCING UPON HIM WITH HIS DANGEROUS RIDING CROP SWINGING IN HIS HAND </s>
<s> YES SAID OUR ALLY I AM BOB CARRUTHERS AND I'LL SEE THIS WOMAN RIGHTED IF I HAVE TO SWING FOR IT </s>
<s> I TOLD YOU WHAT I'D DO IF YOU MOLESTED HER AND BY THE LORD </s>
<s> I'LL BE AS GOOD AS MY WORD QUOTE </s>
<s> YOU'RE TOO LATE </s>
<s> SHE'S MY WIFE </s>
<s> NO SHE'S YOUR WIDOW </s>
<s> HIS REVOLVER CRACKED AND I SAW THE BLOOD SPURT FROM THE FRONT OF WOODLEY'S WAISTCOAT </s>
<s> HE SPUN ROUND WITH A SCREAM AND FELL UPON HIS BACK HIS HIDEOUS RED FACE TURNING SUDDENLY TO A DREADFUL MOTTLED PALLOR </s>
<s> THE OLD MAN STILL CLAD IN HIS SURPLICE BURST INTO SUCH A STRING OF FOUL OATHS AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD AND PULLED OUT A REVOLVER OF HIS OWN BUT BEFORE HE COULD RAISE IT HE WAS LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL OF HOLMES'S WEAPON </s>
<s> ENOUGH OF THIS SAID MY FRIEND COLDLY </s>
<s> DROP THAT PISTOL </s>
<s> WATSON PICK IT UP </s>
<s> HOLD IT TO HIS HEAD </s>
<s> THANK YOU </s>
<s> YOU CARRUTHERS GIVE ME THAT REVOLVER </s>
<s> WE'LL HAVE NO MORE VIOLENCE COME HAND IT OVER QUOTE </s>
<s> WHO ARE YOU THEN </s>
<s> MY NAME IS SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> GOOD LORD </s>
<s> YOU HAVE HEARD OF ME I SEE </s>
<s> I WILL REPRESENT THE OFFICIAL POLICE UNTIL THEIR ARRIVAL </s>
<s> HERE YOU HE SHOUTED TO A FRIGHTENED GROOM WHO HAD APPEARED AT THE EDGE OF THE GLADE </s>
<s> QUOTE COME HERE </s>
<s> TAKE THIS NOTE AS HARD AS YOU CAN RIDE TO FARNHAM </s>
<s> HE SCRIBBLED A FEW WORDS UPON A LEAF FROM HIS NOTEBOOK </s>
<s> GIVE IT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AT THE POLICE STATION </s>
<s> UNTIL HE COMES I MUST DETAIN YOU ALL UNDER MY PERSONAL CUSTODY </s>
<s> THE STRONG MASTERFUL PERSONALITY OF HOLMES DOMINATED THE TRAGIC SCENE AND ALL WERE EQUALLY PUPPETS IN HIS HANDS </s>
<s> WILLIAMSON AND CARRUTHERS FOUND THEMSELVES CARRYING THE WOUNDED WOODLEY INTO THE HOUSE AND I GAVE MY ARM TO THE FRIGHTENED GIRL </s>
<s> THE INJURED MAN WAS LAID ON HIS BED AND AT HOLMES'S REQUEST I EXAMINED HIM </s>
<s> I CARRIED MY REPORT TO WHERE HE SAT IN THE OLD TAPESTRY HUNG DINING ROOM WITH HIS TWO PRISONERS BEFORE HIM </s>
<s> HE WILL LIVE SAID I </s>
<s> WHAT CRIED CARRUTHERS SPRINGING OUT OF HIS CHAIR </s>
<s> QUOTE I'LL GO UPSTAIRS AND FINISH HIM FIRST </s>
<s> DO YOU TELL ME THAT THAT GIRL THAT ANGEL IS TO BE TIED TO ROARING JACK WOODLEY FOR LIFE </s>
<s> YOU NEED NOT CONCERN YOURSELF ABOUT THAT SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> THERE ARE TWO VERY GOOD REASONS WHY SHE SHOULD UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE HIS WIFE </s>
<s> IN THE FIRST PLACE WE ARE VERY SAFE IN QUESTIONING MR. WILLIAMSON'S RIGHT TO SOLEMNIZE A MARRIAGE </s>
<s> I HAVE BEEN ORDAINED CRIED THE OLD RASCAL </s>
<s> QUOTE AND ALSO UNFROCKED QUOTE </s>
<s> ONCE A CLERGYMAN ALWAYS A CLERGYMAN </s>
<s> I THINK NOT </s>
<s> HOW ABOUT THE LICENCE </s>
<s> WE HAD A LICENCE FOR THE MARRIAGE </s>
<s> I HAVE IT HERE IN MY POCKET </s>
<s> QUOTE THEN YOU GOT IT BY A TRICK </s>
<s> BUT IN ANY CASE A FORCED MARRIAGE IS NO MARRIAGE BUT IT IS A VERY SERIOUS FELONY AS YOU WILL DISCOVER BEFORE YOU HAVE FINISHED </s>
<s> YOU'LL HAVE TIME TO THINK THE POINT OUT DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS OR SO UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN </s>
<s> AS TO YOU CARRUTHERS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER TO KEEP YOUR PISTOL IN YOUR POCKET </s>
<s> I BEGIN TO THINK SO MR. HOLMES BUT WHEN I THOUGHT OF ALL THE PRECAUTION I HAD TAKEN TO SHIELD THIS GIRL FOR I LOVED HER MR. HOLMES AND IT IS THE ONLY TIME THAT EVER I KNEW WHAT LOVE WAS IT FAIRLY DROVE ME MAD TO THINK THAT SHE WAS IN THE POWER OF THE GREATEST BRUTE AND BULLY IN SOUTH AFRICA A MAN WHOSE NAME IS A HOLY TERROR FROM KIMBERLEY TO JOHANNESBURG </s>
<s> WHY MR. HOLMES YOU'LL HARDLY BELIEVE IT BUT EVER SINCE THAT GIRL HAS BEEN IN MY EMPLOYMENT I NEVER ONCE LET HER GO PAST THIS HOUSE WHERE I KNEW THE RASCALS WERE LURKING WITHOUT FOLLOWING HER ON MY BICYCLE JUST TO SEE THAT SHE CAME TO NO HARM </s>
<s> I KEPT MY DISTANCE FROM HER AND I WORE A BEARD SO THAT SHE SHOULD NOT RECOGNIZE ME FOR SHE IS A GOOD AND HIGH SPIRITED GIRL AND SHE WOULDN'T HAVE STAYED IN MY EMPLOYMENT LONG IF SHE HAD THOUGHT THAT I WAS FOLLOWING HER ABOUT THE COUNTRY ROADS </s>
<s> WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HER OF HER DANGER </s>
<s> BECAUSE THEN AGAIN SHE WOULD HAVE LEFT ME AND I COULDN'T BEAR TO FACE THAT </s>
<s> EVEN IF SHE COULDN'T LOVE ME IT WAS A GREAT DEAL TO ME JUST TO SEE HER DAINTY FORM ABOUT THE HOUSE AND TO HEAR THE SOUND OF HER VOICE QUOTE </s>
<s> WELL SAID I YOU CALL THAT LOVE MR. CARRUTHERS BUT I SHOULD CALL IT SELFISHNESS </s>
<s> MAYBE THE TWO THINGS GO TOGETHER </s>
<s> ANYHOW I COULDN'T LET HER GO </s>
<s> BESIDES WITH THIS CROWD ABOUT IT WAS WELL THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE NEAR TO LOOK AFTER HER </s>
<s> THEN WHEN THE CABLE CAME I KNEW THEY WERE BOUND TO MAKE A MOVE </s>
<s> WHAT CABLE </s>
<s> CARRUTHERS TOOK A TELEGRAM FROM HIS POCKET </s>
<s> THAT'S IT SAID HE </s>
<s> IT WAS SHORT AND CONCISE THE OLD MAN IS DEAD </s>
<s> QUOTE HUM QUOTE SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> I THINK I SEE HOW THINGS WORKED AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MESSAGE WOULD AS YOU SAY BRING THEM TO A HEAD </s>
<s> BUT WHILE YOU WAIT YOU MIGHT TELL ME WHAT YOU CAN </s>
<s> THE OLD REPROBATE WITH THC SURPLICE BURST INTO A VOLLEY OF BAD LANGUAGE </s>
<s> BY HEAVEN SAID HE IF YOU SQUEAL ON US BOB CARRUTHERS I'LL SERVE YOU AS YOU SERVED JACK WOODLEY </s>
<s> YOU CAN BLEAT ABOUT THE GIRL TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT FOR THAT'S YOUR OWN AFFAIR BUT IF YOU ROUND ON YOUR PALS TO THIS PLAIN CLOTHES COPPER IT WILL BE THE WORST DAY'S WORK THAT EVER YOU DID </s>
<s> YOUR REVERENCE NEED NOT BE EXCITED SAID HOLMES LIGHTING A CIGARETTE </s>
<s> QUOTE THE CASE IS CLEAR ENOUGH AGAINST YOU AND ALL I ASK IS A FEW DETAILS FOR MY PRIVATE CURIOSITY </s>
<s> HOWEVER IF THERE'S ANY DIFFICULTY IN YOUR TELLING ME I'LL DO THE TALKING AND THEN YOU WILL SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF HOLDING BACK YOUR SECRETS </s>
<s> IN THE FIRST PLACE THREE OF YOU CAME FROM SOUTH AFRICA ON THIS GAME YOU WILLIAMSON YOU CARRUTHERS AND WOODLEY </s>
<s> LIE NUMBER ONE SAID THE OLD MAN I NEVER SAW EITHER OF THEM UNTIL TWO MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AFRICA IN MY LIFE SO YOU CAN PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT MR. BUSYBODY HOLMES </s>
<s> WELL WELL TWO OF YOU CAME OVER </s>
<s> HIS REVERENCE IS OUR OWN HOMEMADE ARTICLE </s>
<s> YOU HAD KNOWN RALPH SMITH IN SOUTH AFRICA </s>
<s> YOU HAD REASON TO BELIEVE HE WOULD NOT LIVE LONG </s>
<s> YOU FOUND OUT THAT HIS NIECE WOULD INHERIT HIS FORTUNE </s>
<s> HOW'S THAT EH </s>
<s> CARRUTHERS NODDED AND WILLIAMSON SWORE </s>
<s> SHE WAS NEXT OF KIN NO DOUBT AND YOU WERE AWARE THAT THE OLD FELLOW WOULD MAKE NO WILL </s>
<s> QUOTE COULDN'T READ OR WRITE QUOTE SAID CARRUTHERS </s>
<s> SO YOU CAME OVER THE TWO OF YOU AND HUNTED UP THE GIRL THE IDEA WAS THAT ONE OF YOU WAS TO MARRY HER AND THE OTHER HAVE A SHARE OF THE PLUNDER </s>
<s> FOR SOME REASON WOODLEY WAS CHOSEN AS THE HUSBAND </s>
<s> WHY WAS THAT </s>
<s> WE PLAYED CARDS FOR HER ON THE VOYAGE </s>
<s> HE WON </s>
<s> I SEE </s>
<s> YOU GOT THE YOUNG LADY INTO YOUR SERVICE AND THERE WOODLEY WAS TO DO THE COURTING </s>
<s> SHE RECOGNIZED THE DRUNKEN BRUTE THAT HE WAS AND WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM </s>
<s> MEANWHILE YOUR ARRANGEMENT WAS RATHER UPSET BY THE FACT THAT YOU HAD YOURSELF FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE LADY </s>
<s> YOU COULD NO LONGER BEAR THE IDEA OF THIS RUFFIAN OWNING HER QUOTE </s>
<s> NO BY GEORGE </s>
<s> I COULDN'T </s>
<s> THERE WAS A QUARREL BETWEEN YOU </s>
<s> HE LEFT YOU IN A RAGE AND BEGAN TO MAKE HIS OWN PLANS INDEPENDENTLY OF YOU </s>
<s> IT STRIKES ME WILLIAMSON THERE ISN'T VERY MUCH THAT WE CAN TELL THIS GENTLEMAN CRIED CARRUTHERS WITH A BITTER LAUGH </s>
<s> QUOTE YES WE QUARRELED AND HE KNOCKED ME DOWN </s>
<s> I AM LEVEL WITH HIM ON THAT ANYHOW </s>
<s> THEN I LOST SIGHT OF HIM </s>
<s> THAT WAS WHEN HE PICKED UP WITH THIS OUTCAST PADRE HERE </s>
<s> I FOUND THAT THEY HAD SET UP HOUSEKEEPING TOGETHER AT THIS PLACE ON THE LINE THAT SHE HAD TO PASS FOR THE STATION </s>
<s> I KEPT MY EYE ON HER AFTER THAT FOR I KNEW THERE WAS SOME DEVILRY IN THE WIND </s>
<s> I SAW THEM FROM TIME TO TIME FOR I WAS ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE AFTER </s>
<s> TWO DAYS AGO WOODLEY CAME UP TO MY HOUSE WITH THIS CABLE WHICH SHOWED THAT RALPH SMITH WAS DEAD </s>
<s> HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD STAND BY THE BARGAIN </s>
<s> I SAID I WOULD NOT </s>
<s> HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD MARRY THE GIRL MYSELF AND GIVE HIM A SHARE </s>
<s> I SAID I WOULD WILLINGLY DO SO BUT THAT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE ME </s>
<s> HE SAID LET US GET HER MARRIED FIRST AND AFTER A WEEK OR TWO SHE MAY SEE THINGS A BIT DIFFERENT </s>
<s> I SAID I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH VIOLENCE </s>
<s> SO HE WENT OFF CURSING LIKE THE FOUL MOUTHED BLACKGUARD THAT HE WAS AND SWEARING THAT HE WOULD HAVE HER YET </s>
<s> SHE WAS LEAVING ME THIS WEEK END AND I HAD GOT A TRAP TO TAKE HER TO THE STATION BUT I WAS SO UNEASY IN MY MIND THAT I FOLLOWED HER ON MY BICYCLE </s>
<s> SHE HAD GOT A STATT HOWEVER AND BEFORE I COULD CATCH HER THE MISCHIEF WAS DONE </s>
<s> THE FIRST THING I KNEW ABOUT IT WAS WHEN I SAW YOU TWO GENTLEMEN DRIVING BACK IN HER DOG CART </s>
<s> HOLMES ROSE AND TOSSED THE END OF HIS CIGARETTE INTO THE GRATE </s>
<s> I HAVE BEEN VERY OBTUSE WATSON SAID HE </s>
<s> WHEN IN YOUR REPORT YOU SAID THAT YOU HAD SEEN THE CYCLIST AS YOU THOUGHT ARRANGE HIS NECKTIE IN THE SHRUBBERY THAT ALONE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME ALL </s>
<s> HOWEVER WE MAY CONGRATULATE OURSELVES UPON A CURIOUS AND IN SOME RESPECTS A UNIQUE CASE </s>
<s> I PERCEIVE THREE OF THE COUNTY CONSTABULARY IN THE DRIVE AND I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT THE LITTLE OSTLER IS ABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH THEM SO IT IS LIKELY THAT NEITHER HE NOR THE INTERESTING BRIDEGROOM WILL BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED BY THEIR MORNING'S ADVENTURES </s>
<s> I THINK WATSON THAT IN YOUR MEDICAL CAPACITY YOU MIGHT WAIT UPON MISS SMITH AND TELL HER THAT IF SHE IS SUFFICIENTLY RECOVERED WE SHALL BE HAPPY TO ESCORT HER TO HER MOTHER'S HOME </s>
<s> IF SHE IS NOT QUITE CONVALESCENT YOU WILL FIND THAT A HINT THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO TELEGRAPH TO A YOUNG ELECTRICIAN IN THE MIDLANDS WOULD PROBABLY COMPLETE THE CURE </s>
<s> AS TO YOU MR. CARRUTHERS I THINK THAT YOU HAVE DONE WHAT YOU COULD TO MAKE AMENDS FOR YOUR SHARE IN AN EVIL PLOT </s>
<s> THERE IS MY CARD SIR AND IF MY EVIDENCE CAN BE OF HELP IN YOUR TRIAL IT SHALL BE AT YOUR DISPOSAL </s>
<s> IN THE WHIRL OF OUR INCESSANT ACTIVITY IT HAS OFTEN BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ME AS THE READER HAS PROBABLY OBSERVED TO ROUND OFF MY NARRATIVES AND TO GIVE THOSE FINAL DETAILS WHICH THE CURIOUS MIGHT EXPECT </s>
<s> EACH CASE HAS BEEN THE PRELUDE TO ANOTHER AND THE CRISIS ONCE OVER THE ACTORS HAVE PASSED FOR EVER OUT OF OUR BUSY LIVES </s>
<s> I FIND HOWEVER A SHORT NOTE AT THE END OF MY MANUSCRIPT DEALING WITH THIS CASE IN WHICH I HAVE PUT IT UPON RECORD THAT MISS VIOLET SMITH DID INDEED INHERIT A LARGE FORTUNE AND THAT SHE IS NOW THE WIFE OF CYRIL MORTON THE SENIOR PARTNER OF MORTON AND KENNEDY THE FAMOUS WESTMINSTER ELECTRICIANS </s>
<s> WILLIAMSON AND WOODLEY WERE BOTH TRIED FOR ABDUCTION AND ASSAULT THE FORMER GETTING SEVEN YEARS AND THE LATTER TEN </s>
<s> OF THE FATE OF CARRUTHERS I HAVE NO RECORD BUT I AM SURE THAT HIS ASSAULT WAS NOT VIEWED VERY GRAVELY BY THE COURT SINCE WOODLEY HAD THE REPUTATION OF BEING A MOST DANGEROUS RUFFIAN AND I THINK THAT A FEW MONTHS WERE SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE DEMANDS OF JUSTICE </s>
