racing。 'Green open�察�white shut。' That is clearly a signal。 'Main stair�察�first 

corridor�察�seventh right�察�green baize。' This is an assignation。 We may find a 

jealous husband at the bottom of it all。 It was clearly a dangerous quest。 

She would not have said 'Godspeed' had it not been so。 'D'that should be 

a guide。; 

     ;The   man   was   a   Spaniard。   I   suggest   that   'D'   stands   for   Dolores�察  �a 

common female name in Spain。; 

     ;Good�察�Watson�察�very goodbut quite inadmissable。 A Spaniard would 

write to a Spaniard in Spanish。 The writer of this note is certainly English。 

Well�察    �we   can   only   possess     our   soul  in   patience    until  this   excellent 

inspector come back for us。 Meanwhile we can thank our lucky fate which 

has   rescued   us   for   a   few   short   hours   from   the   insufferable   fatigues   of 

idleness。; 

       An answer had arrived to Holmes's telegram before our Surrey officer 

had   returned。   Holmes   read   it   and   was   about   to   place   it   in   his   notebook 

when he caught a glimpse of my expectant face。 He tossed it across with a 

laugh。 

     ;We are moving in exalted circles�察─�said he。 

     The telegram was a list of names and addresses�此�

     Lord Harringby�察�The Dingle�察�Sir George Ffolliott�察�Oxshott Towers�察�Mr。 

Hynes Hynes�察�J。P。�察�Purdley Place�察�Mr。 James Baker Williams�察�Forton Old 

Hall�察�Mr。 Henderson�察�High Gable�察�Rev。 Joshua Stone�察�Nether Walsling。 

     ;This is a very obvious way of limiting our field of operations�察─�said 

Holmes。       ;No   doubt    Baynes�察    �with    his  methodical      mind�察   �has   already 

adopted some similar plan。; 

     ;I don't quite understand。; 

     ;Well�察�my dear fellow�察�we have already arrived at the conclusion that 

the    massage     received    by  Garcia    at  dinner    was   an   appointment      or  an 

assignation。  Now�察 �if   the obvious   reading of   it   is   correct�察 �and   in order   to 

keep the tryst one has to ascend a main stair and seek the seventh door in a 

corridor�察�it is perfectly clear that the house is a very large one。 It is equally 

certain that this house cannot be more than a mile or two from Oxshott�察�

since   Garcia   was   walking   in   that   direction   and   hoped�察  �according   to   my 

reading of the facts�察�to be back in Wisteria Lodge in time to avail himself

of an alibi�察�which would only be valid up to one o'clock。 As the number of 

large   houses   close   to   Oxshott   must   be   limited�察  �I   adopted   the   obvious 

method of sending to the agents mentioned by Scott Eccles and obtaining 

a   list   of   them。   Here   they   are   in   this   telegram�察  �and   the   other   end   of   our 

tangled skein must lie among them。; 

        It   was   nearly   six   o'clock   before   we   found   ourselves   in   the   pretty 

Surrey village of Esher�察�with Inspector Baynes as our companion。 

     Holmes   and   I had   taken   things   for   the   night�察 �and   found   comfortable 

quarters at the Bull。 Finally we set out in the company of the detective on 

our   visit   to   Wisteria   Lodge。   It   was   a   cold�察  �dark   March   evening�察  �with   a 

sharp wind and a fine rain beating upon our faces�察�a fit setting for the wild 

common over which our road passed and the tragic goal to which it led us。

                  2。 The Tiger of San Pedro 



     A cold and melancholy walk of a couple of miles brought us to a high 

wooden      gate�察  �which    opened     into  a  gloomy     avenue     of  chestnuts。    The 

curved   and   shadowed   drive   led   us   to   a   low�察  �dark   house�察  �pitch´   black 

against a slate´coloured sky。 From the front window upon the left of the 

door there peeped a glimmer of a feeble light。 

     ;There's   a   constable   in   possession�察─  �said   Baynes。   ;I'll   knock   at   the 

window。; He stepped across the grass plot and tapped with his hand on the 

pane。 Through the fogged glass I dimly saw a man spring up from a chair 

beside   the   fire�察  �and   heard   a   sharp   cry  from   within   the   room。 An   instant 

later   a   white´faced�察  �hard´   breathing   policeman   had   opened   the   door�察  �the 

candle wavering in his trembling hand。 

     ;What's the matter�察�Walters�拭─�asked Baynes sharply。 

     The man mopped his forehead with his handkerchief and agave a long 

sigh of relief。 

     ;I am glad you have come�察�sir。 It has been a long evening�察�and I don't 

think my nerve is as good as it was。; 

     ;Your nerve�察�Walters�拭  �I should not   have thought   you   had   a  nerve   in 

your body。; 

     ;Well�察  �sir�察  �it's  this   lonely�察 �silent   house   and  the   queer  thing   in  the 

kitchen。   Then   when   you   tapped   at   the   window   I   thought   it   had   come 

again。; 

     ;That what had come again�拭─�

     ;The devil�察�sir�察�for all I know。 It was at the window。; 

     ;What was at the window�察�and when�拭─�

     ;It   was   just   about   two   hours   ago。   The   light   was   just   fading。   I   was 

sitting reading in the chair。 I don't know what made me look up�察�but there 

was a face looking in at me through the lower pane。 Lord�察�sir�察�what a face 

it was� �I'll see it in my dreams。; 

     ;Tut�察�tut�察�Walters。 This is not talk for a police´constable。; 

     ;I know�察�sir�察�I know�察�but it shook me�察�sir�察�and there's no use to deny it。 

It wasn't black�察�sir�察�nor was it white�察�nor any colour that I know but a kind

of queer shade like clay with a splash of milk in it。 Then there was the size 

of itit was twice yours�察�sir。 And the look of itthe great staring goggle 

eyes�察  �and   the   line   of   white   teeth   like   a   hungry   beast。   I   tell   you�察  �sir�察  �I 

couldn't move a   finger�察�nor get   my breath�察 �till it whisked   away and   was 

gone。 Out I ran and through the shrubbery�察�but thank God there was no one 

there。; 

     ;If I didn't know you were a good man�察�Walters�察�I should put a black 

mark against you for this。 If it were the devil himself a constable on duty 

should   never   thank   God   that   he   could   not   lay   his   hands   upon   him。   I 

suppose the whole thing is not a vision and a touch of nerves�拭─�

     ;That�察�at least�察�is very easily settled�察─�said Holmes�察�lighting his little 

pocket lantern。 ;Yes�察─�he reported�察�after a short examination of the grass 

bed�察 �a number twelve shoe�察�I should say。 If he was all on the same scale 

as his foot he must certainly have been a giant。;
