"Don't
touch
me
with
dirty
hands,"
said
the
prisoner.
"I
have
royal
blood.
Call
me
'sir'
and
'please.'"
"All
right,"
said
Jones
with
a
smile.
"Please,
sir,
let's
go
upstairs.
We
need
a
cab
to
take
you
to
the
police
station."
"That's
better,"
said
John
Clay.
He
bowed
to
us
and
walked
off
with
the
detective.
"Mr.
Holmes,"
said
Mr.
Merryweather,
"I
don't
know
how
to
thank
you.
You
stopped
a
serious
bank
robbery."
"I
had
a
few
things
to
settle
with
John
Clay,"
said
Holmes.
"I
spent
some
money
on
this,
which
the
bank
can
repay.
But
I
am
happy
with
the
unique
experience
and
the
story
of
the
Red-headed
League."
"You
see,
Watson,"
he
said
early
in
the
morning.
We
sat
with
whisky
and
soda
on
Baker
Street.
"It
was
clear
from
the
start.
The
advertisement
and
copying
the
Encyclopædia
were
to
keep
this
pawnbroker
busy.
It
was
a
strange
plan,
but
clever.
Clay
got
the
idea
from
his
partner's
red
hair.
The
£4
a
week
was
a
trick
to
make
him
join.
It
was
nothing
to
them,
playing
for
thousands.
They
put
in
an
ad,
one
man
takes
the
office,
the
other
makes
him
apply.
Together,
they
keep
him
away
every
morning.
When
I
heard
the
assistant
worked
for
half
pay,
I
knew
he
had
a
strong
reason."
"But
how
did
you
know
what
the
reason
was?"
"If
there
were
women
in
the
house,
I
would
think
it
was
a
simple
affair.
But
that
was
not
possible.
The
man's
business
was
small,
and
nothing
in
his
house
needed
such
a
plan
or
money.
It
had
to
be
outside.
What
could
it
be?
I
thought
about
the
assistant's
love
for
photography
and
his
trips
to
the
cellar.
The
cellar!
That
was
the
clue.
I
found
out
this
assistant
was
a
smart
and
daring
criminal
in
London.
He
was
doing
something
in
the
cellar,
spending
hours
every
day
for
months.
What
could
it
be?
I
thought
he
was
digging
a
tunnel
to
another
building."
