<s> SHE HAS BEEN SUFFERING SINCE YESTERDAY FROM BRAIN SYMPTOMS OF GREAT SEVERITY </s>
<s> AS HER MEDICAL ADVISER I CANNOT POSSIBLY TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALLOWING ANYONE TO SEE HER </s>
<s> I SHOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO CALL AGAIN IN TEN DAYS </s>
<s> HE DREW ON HIS GLOVES CLOSED THE DOOR AND MARCHED OFF DOWN THE STREET </s>
<s> QUOTE WELL IF WE CAN'T WE CAN'T QUOTE SAID HOLMES CHEERFULLY </s>
<s> PERHAPS SHE COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT HAVE TOLD YOU MUCH </s>
<s> I DID NOT WISH HER TO TELL ME ANYTHING </s>
<s> I ONLY WANTED TO LOOK AT HER </s>
<s> HOWEVER I THINK THAT I HAVE GOT ALL THAT I WANT </s>
<s> DRIVE US TO SOME DECENT HOTEL CABBY WHERE WE MAY HAVE SOME LUNCH AND AFTERWARDS WE SHALL DROP DOWN UPON FRIEND LESTRADE AT THE POLICE STATION </s>
<s> WE HAD A PLEASANT LITTLE MEAL TOGETHER DURING WHICH HOLMES WOULD TALK ABOUT NOTHING BUT VIOLINS NARRATING WITH GREAT EXULTATION HOW HE HAD PURCHASED HIS OWN STRADIVARIUS WHICH WAS WORTH AT LEAST FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS AT A JEW BROKER'S IN TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD FOR FIFTY FIVE SHILLINGS </s>
<s> THIS LED HIM TO PAGANINI AND WE SAT FOR AN HOUR OVER A BOTTLE OF CLARET WHILE HE TOLD ME ANECDOTE AFTER ANECDOTE OF THAT EXTRAORDINARY MAN </s>
<s> THE AFTERNOON WAS FAR ADVANCED AND THE HOT GLARE HAD SOFTENED INTO A MELLOW GLOW BEFORE WE FOUND OURSELVES AT THE POLICE STATION </s>
<s> LESTRADE WAS WAITING FOR US AT THE DOOR </s>
<s> A TELEGRAM FOR YOU MR. HOLMES SAID HE </s>
<s> HA </s>
<s> IT IS THE ANSWER QUOTE </s>
<s> HE TORE IT OPEN GLANCED HIS EYES OVER IT AND CRUMPLED IT INTO HIS POCKET </s>
<s> THAT'S ALL RIGHT SAID HE </s>
<s> HAVE YOU FOUND OUT ANYTHING </s>
<s> I HAVE FOUND OUT EVERYTHING </s>
<s> WHAT </s>
<s> LESTRADE STARED AT HIM IN AMAZEMENT </s>
<s> YOU ARE JOKING </s>
<s> QUOTE I WAS NEVER MORE SERIOUS IN MY LIFE </s>
<s> A SHOCKING CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED AND I THINK I HAVE NOW LAID BARE EVERY DETAIL OF IT </s>
<s> AND THE CRIMINAL </s>
<s> HOLMES SCRIBBLED A FEW WORDS UPON THE BACK OF ONE OF HIS VISITING CARDS AND THREW IT OVER TO LESTRADE </s>
<s> THAT IS THE NAME HE SAID </s>
<s> YOU CANNOT EFFECT AN ARREST UNTIL TO MORROW NIGHT AT THE EARLIEST </s>
<s> I SHOULD PREFER THAT YOU DO NOT MENTION MY NAME AT ALL IN CONNECTION WITH THE CASE AS I CHOOSE TO BE ONLY ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE CRIMES WHICH PRESENT SOME DIFFICULTY IN THEIR SOLUTION </s>
<s> COME ON WATSON </s>
<s> WE STRODE OFF TOGETHER TO THE STATION LEAVING LESTRADE STILL STARING WITH A DELIGHTED FACE AT THE CARD WHICH HOLMES HAD THROWN HIM </s>
<s> QUOTE THE CASE QUOTE SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES AS WE CHATTED OVER OUR CIGARS THAT NIGHT IN OUR ROOMS AT BAKER STREET QUOTE IS ONE WHERE AS IN THE INVESTIGATIONS WHICH YOU HAVE CHRONICLED UNDER THE NAMES OF A STUDY IN SCARLET AND OF THE SIGN OF FOUR WE HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO REASON BACKWARD FROM EFFECTS TO CAUSES </s>
<s> I HAVE WRITTEN TO LESTRADE ASKING HIM TO SUPPLY US WITH THE DETAILS WHICH ARE NOW WANTING AND WHICH HE WILL ONLY GET AFTER HE HAS SECURED HIS MAN </s>
<s> THAT HE MAY BE SAFELY TRUSTED TO DO FOR ALTHOUGH HE IS ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF REASON HE IS AS TENACIOUS AS A BULLDOG WHEN HE ONCE UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE HAS TO DO AND INDEED IT IS JUST THIS TENACITY WHICH HAS BROUGHT HIM TO THE TOP AT SCOTLAND YARD </s>
<s> YOUR CASE IS NOT COMPLETE THEN </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> IT IS FAIRLY COMPLETE IN ESSENTIALS </s>
<s> WE KNOW WHO THE AUTHOR OF THE REVOLTING BUSINESS IS ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE VICTIMS STILL ESCAPES US </s>
<s> OF COURSE YOU HAVE FORMED YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS </s>
<s> I PRESUME THAT THIS JIM BROWNER THE STEWARD OF A LIVERPOOL BOAT IS THE MAN WHOM YOU SUSPECT </s>
<s> QUOTE OH IT IS MORE THAN A SUSPICION QUOTE </s>
<s> AND YET I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING SAVE VERY VAGUE INDICATIONS </s>
<s> ON THE CONTRARY TO MY MIND NOTHING COULD BE MORE CLEAR </s>
<s> LET ME RUN OVER THE PRINCIPAL STEPS </s>
<s> WE APPROACHED THE CASE YOU REMEMBER WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BLANK MIND WHICH IS ALWAYS AN ADVANTAGE </s>
<s> WE HAD FORMED NO THEORIES </s>
<s> WE WERE SIMPLY THERE TO OBSERVE AND TO DRAW INFERENCES FROM OUR OBSERVATIONS </s>
<s> WHAT DID WE SEE FIRST </s>
<s> A VERY PLACID AND RESPECTABLE LADY WHO SEEMED QUITE INNOCENT OF ANY SECRET AND A PORTRAIT WHICH SHOWED ME THAT SHE HAD TWO YOUNGER SISTERS </s>
<s> IT INSTANTLY FLASHED ACROSS MY MIND THAT THE BOX MIGHT HAVE BEEN MEANT FOR ONE OF THESE </s>
<s> I SET THE IDEA ASIDE AS ONE WHICH COULD BE DISPROVED OR CONFIRMED AT OUR LEISURE </s>
<s> THEN WE WENT TO THE GARDEN AS YOU REMEMBER AND WE SAW THE VERY SINGULAR CONTENTS OF THE LITTLE YELLOW BOX </s>
<s> THE STRING WAS OF THE QUALITY WHICH IS USED BY SAILMAKERS ABOARD SHIP AND AT ONCE A WHIFF OF THE SEA WAS PERCEPTIBLE IN OUR INVESTIGATION </s>
<s> WHEN I OBSERVED THAT THE KNOT WAS ONE WHICH IS POPULAR WITH SAILORS THAT THE PARCEL HAD BEEN POSTED AT A PORT AND THAT THE MALE EAR WAS PIERCED FOR AN EARRING WHICH IS SO MUCH MORE COMMON AMONG SAILORS THAN LANDSMEN I WAS QUITE CERTAIN THAT ALL THE ACTORS IN THE TRAGEDY WERE TO BE FOUND AMONG OUR SEAFARING CLASSES </s>
<s> WHEN I CAME TO EXAMINE THE ADDRESS OF THE PACKET I OBSERVED THAT IT WAS TO MISS S. CUSHING </s>
<s> NOW THE OLDEST SISTER WOULD OF COURSE BE MISS CUSHING AND ALTHOUGH HER INITIAL WAS S. IT MIGHT BELONG TO ONE OF THE OTHERS AS WELL </s>
<s> IN THAT CASE WE SHOULD HAVE TO COMMENCE OUR INVESTIGATION FROM A FRESH BASIS ALTOGETHER </s>
<s> I THEREFORE WENT INTO THE HOUSE WITH THE INTENTION OF CLEARING UP THIS POINT </s>
<s> I WAS ABOUT TO ASSURE MISS CUSHING THAT I WAS CONVINCED THAT A MISTAKE HAD BEEN MADE WHEN YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT I CAME SUDDENLY TO A STOP </s>
<s> THE FACT WAS THAT I HAD JUST SEEN SOMETHING WHICH FILLED ME WITH SURPRISE AND AT THE SAME TIME NARROWED THE FIELD OF OUR INQUIRY IMMENSELY </s>
<s> AS A MEDICAL MAN YOU ARE AWARE WATSON THAT THERE IS NO PART OF THE BODY WHICH VARIES SO MUCH AS THE HUMAN EAR </s>
<s> EACH EAR IS AS A RULE QUITE DISTINCTIVE AND DIFFERS FROM ALL OTHER ONES </s>
<s> IN LAST YEAR'S ANTHROPOLOGICAL JOURNAL YOU WILL FIND TWO SHORT MONOGRAPHS FROM MY PEN UPON THE SUBJECT </s>
<s> I HAD THEREFORE EXAMINED THE EARS IN THE BOX WITH THE EYES OF AN EXPERT AND HAD CAREFULLY NOTED THEIR ANATOMICAL PECULIARITIES </s>
<s> IMAGINE MY SURPRISE THEN WHEN ON LOOKING AT MISS CUSHING I PERCEIVED THAT HER EAR CORRESPONDED EXACTLY WITH THE FEMALE EAR WHICH I HAD JUST INSPECTED </s>
<s> THE MATTER WAS ENTIRELY BEYOND COINCIDENCE </s>
<s> THERE WAS THE SAME SHORTENING OF THE PINNA THE SAME BROAD CURVE OF THE UPPER LOBE THE SAME CONVOLUTION OF THE INNER CARTILAGE </s>
<s> IN ALL ESSENTIALS IT WAS THE SAME EAR </s>
<s> QUOTE OF COURSE I AT ONCE SAW THE ENORMOUS IMPORTANCE OF THE OBSERVATION </s>
<s> IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE VICTIM WAS A BLOOD RELATION AND PROBABLY A VERY CLOSE ONE </s>
<s> I BEGAN TO TALK TO HER ABOUT HER FAMILY AND YOU REMEMBER THAT SHE AT ONCE GAVE US SOME EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE DETAILS </s>
<s> IN THE FIRST PLACE HER SISTER'S NAME WAS SARAH AND HER ADDRESS HAD UNTIL RECENTLY BEEN THE SAME SO THAT IT WAS QUITE OBVIOUS HOW THE MISTAKE HAD OCCURRED AND FOR WHOM THE PACKET WAS MEANT </s>
<s> THEN WE HEARD OF THIS STEWARD MARRIED TO THE THIRD SISTER AND LEARNED THAT HE HAD AT ONE TIME BEEN SO INTIMATE WITH MISS SARAH THAT SHE HAD ACTUALLY GONE UP TO LIVERPOOL TO BE NEAR THE BROWNERS BUT A QUARREL HAD AFTERWARDS DIVIDED THEM </s>
<s> THIS QUARREL HAD PUT A STOP TO ALL COMMUNICATIONS FOR SOME MONTHS SO THAT IF BROWNER HAD OCCASION TO ADDRESS A PACKET TO MISS SARAH HE WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE DONE SO TO HER OLD ADDRESS </s>
<s> AND NOW THE MATTER HAD BEGUN TO STRAIGHTEN ITSELF OUT WONDERFULLY </s>
<s> WE HAD LEARNED OF THE EXISTENCE OF THIS STEWARD AN IMPULSIVE MAN OF STRONG PASSIONS YOU REMEMBER THAT HE THREW UP WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY SUPERIOR BERTH IN ORDER TO BE NEARER TO HIS WIFE SUBJECT TOO TO OCCASIONAL FITS OF HARD DRINKING </s>
<s> WE HAD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HIS WIFE HAD BEEN MURDERED AND THAT A MAN PRESUMABLY A SEAFARING MAN HAD BEEN MURDERED AT THE SAME TIME </s>
<s> JEALOUSY OF COURSE AT ONCE SUGGESTS ITSELF AS THE MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME </s>
<s> AND WHY SHOULD THESE PROOFS OF THE DEED BE SENT TO MISS SARAH CUSHING </s>
<s> PROBABLY BECAUSE DURING HER RESIDENCE IN LIVERPOOL SHE HAD SOME HAND IN BRINGING ABOUT THE EVENTS WHICH LED TO THE TRAGEDY </s>
<s> YOU WILL OBSERVE THAT THIS LINE OF BOATS CALLS AT BELFAST DUBLIN AND WATERFORD SO THAT PRESUMING THAT BROWNER HAD COMMITTED THE DEED AND HAD EMBARKED AT ONCE UPON HIS STEAMER THE MAY DAY BELFAST WOULD BE THE FIRST PLACE AT WHICH HE COULD POST HIS TERRIBLE PACKET </s>
<s> A SECOND SOLUTION WAS AT THIS STAGE OBVIOUSLY POSSIBLE AND ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT IT EXCEEDINGLY UNLIKELY I WAS DETERMINED TO ELUCIDATE IT BEFORE GOING FURTHER </s>
<s> AN UNSUCCESSFUL LOVER MIGHT HAVE KILLED MR. AND MRS. BROWNER AND THE MALE EAR MIGHT HAVE BELONGED TO THE HUSBAND </s>
<s> THERE WERE MANY GRAVE OBJECTIONS TO THIS THEORY BUT IT WAS CONCEIVABLE </s>
<s> I THEREFORE SENT OFF A TELEGRAM TO MY FRIEND ALGAR OF THE LIVERPOOL FORCE AND ASKED HIM TO FIND OUT IF MRS. BROWNER WERE AT HOME AND IF BROWNER HAD DEPARTED IN THE MAY DAY </s>
<s> THEN WE WENT ON TO WALLINGTON TO VISIT MISS SARAH </s>
<s> I WAS CURIOUS IN THE FIRST PLACE TO SEE HOW FAR THE FAMILY EAR HAD BEEN REPRODUCED IN HER </s>
<s> THEN OF COURSE SHE MIGHT GIVE US VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION BUT I WAS NOT SANGUINE THAT SHE WOULD </s>
<s> SHE MUST HAVE HEARD OF THE BUSINESS THE DAY BEFORE SINCE ALL CROYDON WAS RINGING WITH IT AND SHE ALONE COULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD FOR WHOM THE PACKET WAS MEANT </s>
<s> IF SHE HAD BEEN WILLING TO HELP JUSTICE SHE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THE POLICE ALREADY </s>
<s> HOWEVER IT WAS CLEARLY OUR DUTY TO SEE HER SO WE WENT </s>
<s> WE FOUND THAT THE NEWS OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE PACKET FOR HER ILLNESS DATED FROM THAT TIME HAD SUCH AN EFFECT UPON HER AS TO BRING ON BRAIN FEVER </s>
<s> IT WAS CLEARER THAN EVER THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD ITS FULL SIGNIFICANCE BUT EQUALLY CLEAR THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT SOME TIME FOR ANY ASSISTANCE FROM HER </s>
<s> HOWEVER WE WERE REALLY INDEPENDENT OF HER HELP </s>
<s> OUR ANSWERS WERE WAITING FOR US AT THE POLICE STATION WHERE I HAD DIRECTED ALGAR TO SEND THEM </s>
<s> NOTHING COULD BE MORE CONCLUSIVE </s>
<s> MRS. BROWNER'S HOUSE HAD BEEN CLOSED FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS AND THE NEIGHBOURS WERE OF OPINION THAT SHE HAD GONE SOUTH TO SEE HER RELATIVES </s>
<s> IT HAD BEEN ASCERTAINED AT THE SHIPPING OFFICES THAT BROWNER HAD LEFT ABOARD OF THE MAY DAY AND I CALCULATE THAT SHE IS DUE IN THE THAMES TO MORROW NIGHT </s>
<s> WHEN HE ARRIVES HE WILL BE MET BY THE OBTUSE BUT RESOLUTE LESTRADE AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE SHALL HAVE ALL OUR DETAILS FILLED IN QUOTE </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED IN HIS EXPECTATIONS </s>
<s> TWO DAYS LATER HE RECEIVED A BULKY ENVELOPE WHICH CONTAINED A SHORT NOTE FROM THE DETECTIVE AND A TYPEWRITTEN DOCUMENT WHICH COVERED SEVERAL PAGES OF FOOLSCAP </s>
<s> LESTRADE HAS GOT HIM ALL RIGHT SAID HOLMES GLANCING UP AT ME </s>
<s> PERHAPS IT WOULD INTEREST YOU TO HEAR WHAT HE SAYS </s>
<s> MY DEAR MR. HOLMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEME WHICH WE HAD FORMED IN ORDER TO TEST OUR THEORIES THE WE IS RATHER FINE WAT SON IS IT NOT </s>
<s> I WENT DOWN TO THE ALBERT DOCK YESTERDAY AT SIX P. M. AND BOARDED THE S. S. MAY DAY BELONGING TO THE LIVERPOOL DUBLIN AND LONDON STEAM PACKET COMPANY </s>
<s> ON INQUIRY I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A STEWARD ON BOARD OF THE NAME OF JAMES BROWNER AND THAT HE HAD ACTED DURING THE VOYAGE IN SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY MANNER THAT THE CAPTAIN HAD BEEN COMPELLED TO RELIEVE HIM OF HIS DUTIES </s>
<s> ON DE SCENDING TO HIS BERTH I FOUND HIM SEATED UPON A CHEST WITH HIS HEAD SUNK UPON HIS HANDS ROCKING HIMSELF TO AND FRO </s>
<s> HE IS A BIG POWERFUL CHAP CLEAN SHAVEN AND VERY SWARTHY SOMETHING LIKE ALDRIDGE WHO HELPED US IN THE BOGUS LAUN DRY AFFAIR </s>
<s> HE JUMPED UP WHEN HE HEARD MY BUSINESS AND I HAD MY WHISTLE TO MY LIPS TO CALL A COUPLE OF RIVER POLICE WHO WERE ROUND THE CORNER BUT HE SEEMED TO HAVE NO HEART IN HIM AND HE HELD OUT HIS HANDS QUIETLY ENOUGH FOR THE DARBIES </s>
<s> WE BROUGHT HIM ALONG TO THE CELLS AND HIS BOX AS WELL FOR WE THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING INCRIMINAT ING BUT BAR A BIG SHARP KNIFE SUCH AS MOST SAILORS HAVE WE GOT NOTHING FOR OUR TROUBLE </s>
<s> HOWEVER WE FIND THAT WE SHALL WANT NO MORE EVIDENCE FOR ON BEING BROUGHT BEFORE THE INSPECTOR AT THE STATION HE ASKED LEAVE TO MAKE A STATEMENT WHICH WAS OF COURSE TAKEN DOWN JUST AS HE MADE IT BY OUR SHORTHAND MAN </s>
<s> WE HAD THREE COPIES TYPEWRITTEN ONE OF WHICH I ENCLOSE </s>
<s> THE AFFAIR PROVES AS I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WOULD TO BE AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE ONE BUT I AM OBLIGED TO YOU FOR ASSISTING ME IN MY INVESTIGATION </s>
<s> WITH KIND REGARDS YOURS VERY TRULY G. LESTRADE </s>
<s> QUOTE HUM </s>
<s> THE INVESTIGATION REALLY WAS A VERY SIMPLE ONE REMARKED HOLMES BUT I DON'T THINK IT STRUCK HIM IN THAT LIGHT WHEN HE FIRST CALLED US IN </s>
<s> HOWEVER LET US SEE WHAT JIM BROWNER HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELF </s>
<s> THIS IS HIS STATEMENT AS MADE BEFORE INSPECTOR MONTGOMERY AT THE SHADWELL POLICE STATION AND IT HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING VERBATIM </s>
<s> HAVE I ANYTHING TO SAY </s>
<s> YES I HAVE A DEAL TO SAY </s>
<s> I HAVE TO MAKE A CLEAN BREAST OF IT ALL </s>
<s> YOU CAN HANG ME OR YOU CAN LEAVE ME ALONE </s>
<s> I DON'T CARE A PLUG WHICH YOU DO </s>
