          ;Do you think that this man Horner is innocent�拭�



          ;I cannot tell。;



          ;Well�察�then�察�do you imagine that this other one�察�Henry Baker��

      had anything to do with the matter�拭�



          ;It is�察�I think�察�much more likely that Henry Baker is an

      absolutely innocent man�察�who had no idea that the bird which he

      was carrying was of considerably more value than if it were made

      of solid gold。  That�察�however�察�I shall determine by a very simple

      test if we have an answer to our advertisement。;



          ;And you can do nothing until then�拭�



          ;Nothing。;



          ;In that case I shall continue my professional round。  But I

      shall come back in the evening at the hour you have mentioned�察�for

      I should like to see the solution of so tangled a business。;



          ;Very glad to see you。  I dine at seven。  There is a woodcock��

      I believe。  By the way�察�in view of recent occurrences�察�perhaps I

      ought to ask Mrs。 Hudson to examine its crop。;



          I had been delayed at a case�察�and it was a little after

      half´past six when I found myself in Baker Street once more。  As I

      approached the house I saw a tall man in a Scotch bonnet with a

      coat which was buttoned up to his chin waiting outside in the

      bright semicircle which was thrown from the fanlight。  Just as I

      arrived the door was opened�察�and we were shown up together to

      Holmes's room。



          ;Mr。 Henry Baker�察�I believe�察─�said he�察�rising from his

      armchair and greeting his visitor with the easy air of geniality

      which he could so readily assume。  ;Pray take this chair by the

      fire�察�Mr。 Baker。  It is a cold night�察�and I observe that your

      circulation is more adapted for summer than for winter。  Ah��

      Watson�察�you have just come at the right time。  Is that your hat��

      Mr。 Baker�拭�



          ;Yes�察�sir�察�that is undoubtedly my hat。;



          He was a large man with rounded shoulders�察�a massive head�察�and

      a broad�察�intelligent face�察�sloping down to a pointed beard of

      grizzled brown。  A touch of red in nose and cheeks�察�with a slight

      tremor of his extended hand�察�recalled Holmes's surmise as to his

      habits。  His rusty black frock´coat was buttoned right up in

      front�察�with the collar turned up�察�and his lank wrists protruded

      from his sleeves without a sign of cuff or shirt。  He spoke in a

      slow staccato fashion�察�choosing his words with care�察�and gave the

      impression generally of a man of learning and letters who had had

      ill´usage at the hands of fortune。



          ;We have retained these things for some days�察─�said Holmes��

      ;because we expected to see an advertisement from you giving your

      address。  I am at a loss to know now why you did not advertise。;



          Our visitor gave a rather shamefaced laugh。  ;Shillings have

      not been so plentiful with me as they once were�察─�he remarked。  ;I

      had no doubt that the gang of roughs who assaulted me had carried

      off both my hat and the bird。  I did not care to spend more money

      in a hopeless attempt at recovering them。;



          ;Very naturally。  By the way�察�about the bird�察�we were

      compelled to eat it。;



          ;To eat it� ─ �Our visitor half rose from his chair in his

      excitement。



          ;Yes�察�it would have been of no use to anyone had we not done

      so。  But I presume that this other goose upon the sideboard�察�which

      is about the same weight and perfectly fresh�察�will answer your

      purpose equally well�拭�



          ;Oh�察�certainly�察�certainly�察─�answered Mr。 Baker with a sigh of

      relief。



          ;Of course�察�we still have the feathers�察�legs�察�crop�察�and so on

      of your own bird�察�so if you wish;



          The man burst into a hearty laugh。  ;They might be useful to

      me as relics of my adventure�察─�said he�察 �but beyond that I can

      hardly see what use the disjecta membra of my late acquaintance

      are going to be to me。  No�察�sir�察�I think that�察�with your

      permission�察�I will confine my attentions to the excellent bird

      which I perceive upon the sideboard。;



          Sherlock Holmes glanced sharply across at me with a slight

      shrug of his shoulders。



          ;There is your hat�察�then�察�and there your bird�察─�said he。  ;By

      the way�察�would it bore you to tell me where you got the other one

      from�拭 �I am somewhat of a fowl fancier�察�and I have seldom seen a

      better grown goose。;



          ;Certainly�察�sir�察─�said Baker�察�who had risen and tucked his

      newly gained property under his arm。  ;There are a few of us who

      frequent the Alpha Inn�察�near the Museumwe are to be found in the

      Museum itself during the day�察�you understand。  This year our good

      host�察�Windigate by name�察�instituted a goose club�察�by which�察�on

      consideration of some few pence every week�察�we were each to

      receive a bird at Christmas。  My pence were duly paid�察�and the

      rest is familiar to you。  I am much indebted to you�察�sir�察�for a

      Scotch bonnet is fitted neither to my years nor my gravity。;  With

      a comical pomposity of manner he bowed solemnly to both of us and

      strode off upon his way。



          ;So much for Mr。 Henry Baker�察─�said Holmes when he had closed

      the door behind him。  ;It is quite certain that he knows nothing

      whatever about the matter。  Are you hungry�察�Watson�拭�



          ;Not particularly。;



          ;Then I suggest that we turn our dinner into a supper and

      follow up this clue while it is still hot。;



          ;By all means。;



          It was a bitter night�察�so we drew on our ulsters and wrapped

      cravats about our throats。  Outside�察�the stars were shining coldly

      in a cloudless sky�察�and the breath of the passers´by blew out into

      smoke like so many pistol shots。  Our footfalls rang out crisply

      and loudly as we swung through the doctors' quarter�察�Wimpole

      Street�察�Harley Street�察�and so through Wigmore Street into Oxford

      Street。  In a quarter of an hour we were in Bloomsbury at the

      Alpha Inn�察�which is a small public´house at the corner of one of

      the streets which runs down into Holborn。  Holmes pushed open the

      door of the private bar and ordered two glasses of beer from the

      ruddy´faced�察�white´aproned landlord。



          ;Your beer should be excellent if it is as good as your

      geese�察─�said he。



          ;My geese� ─ �The man seemed surprised。



          ;Yes。  I was speaking only half an hour ago to Mr。 Henry

      Baker�察�who was a member of your goose club。;



          ;Ah� �yes�察�I see。  But you see�察�sir�察�them's not our geese。;



          ;Indeed�  �Whose�察�then�拭�



          ;Well�察�I got the two dozen from a salesman in Covent Garden。;
