      houses here。  It is a hobby of mine to have an exact knowledge of

      London。  There is Mortimer's�察�the tobacconist�察�the little

      newspaper shop�察�the Coburg branch of the City and Suburban Bank��

      the Vegetarian Restaurant�察�and McFarlane's carriage´building

      depot。  That carries us right on to the other block。  And now��

      Doctor�察�we've done our work�察�so it's time we had some play。  A

      sandwich and a cup of coffee�察�and then off to violin´land�察�where

      all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony�察�and there are no

      red´headed clients to vex us with their conundrums。;



          My friend was an enthusiastic musician�察�being himself not only

      a very capable performer but a composer of no ordinary merit。  All

      the afternoon he sat in the stalls wrapped in the most perfect

      happiness�察�gently waving his long�察�thin fingers in time to the

      music�察�while his gently smiling face and his languid�察�dreamy eyes

      were as unlike those of Holmes�察�the sleuth´hound�察�Holmes the

      relentless�察�keen´witted�察�ready´handed criminal agent�察�as it was

      possible to conceive。  In his singular character the dual nature

      alternately asserted itself�察�and his extreme exactness and

      astuteness represented�察�as I have often thought�察�the reaction

      against the poetic and contemplative mood which occasionally

      predominated in him。  The swing of his nature took him from

      extreme languor to devouring energy�察�and�察�as I knew well�察�he was

      never so truly formidable as when�察�for days on end�察�he had been

      lounging in his armchair amid his improvisations and his

      black´letter editions。  Then it was that the lust of the chase

      would suddenly come upon him�察�and that his brilliant reasoning

      power would rise to the level of intuition�察�until those who were

      unacquainted with his methods would look askance at him as on a

      man whose knowledge was not that of other mortals。  When I saw him

      that afternoon so enwrapped in the music at St。 James's Hall I

      felt that an evil time might be coming upon those whom he had set

      himself to hunt down。



          ;You want to go home�察�no doubt�察�Doctor�察─�he remarked as we

      emerged。



          ;Yes�察�it would be as well。;



          ;And I have some business to do which will take some hours。

      This business at Coburg Square is serious。;



          ;Why serious�拭�



          ;A considerable crime is in contemplation。  I have every

      reason to believe that we shall be in time to stop it。  But to´day

      being Saturday rather complicates matters。  I shall want your help

      to´night。;



          ;At what time�拭�



          ;Ten will be early enough。;



          ;I shall be at Baker Street at ten。;



          ;Very well。  And�察�I say�察�Doctor�察�there may be some little

      danger�察�so kindly put your army revolver in your pocket。;  He

      waved his hand�察�turned on his heel�察�and disappeared in an instant

      among the crowd。



          I trust that I am not more dense than my neighbours�察�but I was

      always oppressed with a sense of my own stupidity in my dealings

      with Sherlock Holmes。  Here I had heard what he had heard�察�I had

      seen what he had seen�察�and yet from his words it was evident that

      he saw clearly not only what had happened but what was about to

      happen�察�while to me the whole business was still confused and

      grotesque。  As I drove home to my house in Kensington I thought

      over it all�察�from the extraordinary story of the red´headed copier

      of the Encyclopaedia down to the visit to Saxe´Coburg Square�察�and

      the ominous words with which he had parted from me。  What was this

      nocturnal expedition�察�and why should I go armed�拭 �Where were we

      going�察�and what were we to do�拭 �I had the hint from Holmes that

      this smooth´faced pawnbroker's assistant was a formidable mana

      man who might play a deep game。  I tried to puzzle it out�察�but

      gave it up in despair and set the matter aside until night should

      bring an explanation。



          It was a quarter´past nine when I started from home and made

      my way across the Park�察�and so through Oxford Street to Baker

      Street。  Two hansoms were standing at the door�察�and as I entered

      the passage I heard the sound of voices from above。  On entering

      his room I found Holmes in animated conversation with two men�察�one

      of whom I recognized as Peter Jones�察�the official police agent��

      while the other was a long�察�thin�察�sad´faced man�察�with a very shiny

      hat and oppressively respectable frock´coat。



          ;Ha� �our party is complete�察─�said Holmes�察�buttoning up his

      pea´jacket and taking his heavy hunting crop from the rack。

      ;Watson�察�I think you know Mr。 Jones�察�of Scotland Yard�拭 �Let me

      introduce you to Mr。 Merryweather�察�who is to be our companion in

      to´night's adventure。;



          ;We're hunting in couples again�察�Doctor�察�you see�察─�said Jones

      in his consequential way。  ;Our friend here is a wonderful man for

      starting a chase。  All he wants is an old dog to help him to do

      the running down。;



          ;I hope a wild goose may not prove to be the end of our

      chase�察─�observed Mr。 Merryweather gloomily。



          ;You may place considerable confidence in Mr。 Holmes�察�sir�察�

      said the police agent loftily。  ;He has his own little methods��

      which are�察�if he won't mind my saying so�察�just a little too

      theoretical and fantastic�察�but he has the makings of a detective

      in him。  It is not too much to say that once or twice�察�as in that

      business of the Sholto murder and the Agra treasure�察�he has been

      more nearly correct than the official force。;



          ;Oh�察�if you say so�察�Mr。 Jones�察�it is all right�察─�said the

      stranger with deference。  ;Still�察�I confess that I miss my rubber。

      It is the first Saturday night for seven´and´twenty years that I

      have not had my rubber。;



          ;I think you will find�察─�said Sherlock Holmes�察 �that you will

      play for a higher stake to´night than you have ever done yet�察�and

      that the play will be more exciting。  For you�察�Mr。 Merryweather��

      the stake will be some 30��000 pounds�察�and for you�察�Jones�察�it will be the

      man upon whom you wish to lay your hands。;



          ;John Clay�察�the murderer�察�thief�察�smasher�察�and forger。  He's a

      young man�察�Mr。 Merryweather�察�but he is at the head of his

      profession�察�and I would rather have my bracelets on him than on

      any criminal in London。  He's a remarkable man�察�is young John

      Clay。  His grandfather was a royal duke�察�and he himself has been

      to Eton and Oxford。  His brain is as cunning as his fingers�察�and

      though we meet signs of him at every turn�察�we never know where to

      find the man him
