"Please
excuse
me
for
starting
without
you,
Watson,"
he
said,
"but
you
remember
our
client
has
an
early
appointment
this
morning."
"Why,
it
is
after
nine
now,"
I
answered.
"I
think
that
is
him.
I
thought
I
heard
the
doorbell."
It
was
indeed
our
friend
the
banker.
I
was
shocked
by
the
change
in
him,
as
his
face,
which
was
usually
broad
and
strong,
was
now
thin
and
tired,
and
his
hair
seemed
whiter.
He
came
in
with
a
tiredness
that
was
more
painful
than
his
anger
the
day
before,
and
he
fell
heavily
into
the
armchair
I
pushed
forward
for
him.
"I
do
not
know
why
I
am
being
tested
so
hard,"
he
said.
"Only
two
days
ago,
I
was
a
happy
and
successful
man,
without
a
care.
Now
I
am
left
alone
and
dishonored.
One
sorrow
follows
another.
My
niece,
Mary,
has
left
me."
"Left
you?"
"Yes.
Her
bed
this
morning
was
not
slept
in,
her
room
was
empty,
and
a
note
for
me
was
on
the
hall
table.
I
told
her
last
night,
in
sadness,
not
anger,
that
if
she
had
married
my
boy,
all
might
have
been
well
with
him.
Maybe
it
was
not
wise
to
say
so.
She
refers
to
that
in
this
note:"
"'MY
DEAREST
UNCLE,—I
feel
I
have
brought
trouble
to
you,
and
if
I
had
acted
differently,
this
terrible
thing
might
not
have
happened.
I
cannot,
with
this
thought,
ever
be
happy
under
your
roof
again,
and
I
feel
I
must
leave
you
forever.
Do
not
worry
about
my
future,
for
it
is
taken
care
of;
and,
above
all,
do
not
search
for
me,
for
it
will
be
useless
and
bad
for
me.
In
life
or
death,
I
am
always
your
loving,'"
"'MARY.'"
