"Then
I
hope
you
will
join
me,"
said
Sherlock
Holmes.
"I
always
enjoy
meeting
an
American,
Mr.
Moulton.
I
believe
that
one
day,
people
from
our
countries
will
be
friends
under
one
flag."
"The
case
was
interesting,"
Holmes
said
after
our
visitors
left.
"It
shows
how
simple
the
answer
can
be
to
something
that
seems
very
confusing.
The
lady's
story
was
natural,
but
Mr.
Lestrade
of
Scotland
Yard
found
it
strange."
"So,
you
were
not
wrong
at
all,
then?"
"From
the
start,
two
things
were
clear
to
me.
First,
the
lady
wanted
to
marry,
and
second,
she
changed
her
mind
soon
after.
Something
happened
that
morning
to
change
her
mind.
She
didn't
talk
to
anyone
because
she
was
with
the
groom.
Did
she
see
someone?
If
she
did,
it
must
be
someone
from
America.
She
hadn't
been
here
long
enough
to
know
anyone
well.
So,
she
might
have
seen
an
American.
Who
could
this
American
be?
Maybe
a
lover
or
a
husband.
Her
early
life
was
tough
and
strange.
I
thought
this
before
I
heard
Lord
St.
Simon's
story.
When
he
mentioned
the
man
in
the
pew,
the
bride's
change,
the
dropped
bouquet,
and
her
talk
about
claim-jumping,
everything
became
clear.
She
left
with
a
man,
who
was
likely
a
husband."
"How
did
you
find
them?"
"It
could
have
been
hard,
but
Lestrade
had
useful
information.
The
initials
were
important,
but
knowing
he
paid
his
bill
at
a
fancy
hotel
was
even
better."
"How
did
you
know
it
was
fancy?"
"By
the
high
prices.
Eight
shillings
for
a
bed
and
eightpence
for
a
glass
of
sherry
showed
it
was
expensive.
Not
many
hotels
in
London
charge
like
that.
At
the
second
hotel
I
visited,
I
found
Francis
H.
Moulton's
name.
He
left
the
day
before,
and
the
charges
matched
the
bill.
His
letters
went
to
226
Gordon
Square,
so
I
went
there.
I
found
the
couple
at
home
and
advised
them.
I
told
them
to
explain
their
situation
to
everyone,
especially
to
Lord
St.
Simon.
I
invited
them
here,
and
they
came."
