"I
had
this
idea
when
we
went
to
see
the
place.
You
were
surprised
when
I
hit
the
pavement
with
my
stick.
I
wanted
to
know
if
the
cellar
was
in
front
or
behind.
It
was
not
in
front.
Then
I
rang
the
bell,
and
the
assistant
answered.
We
had
never
met
before.
I
barely
looked
at
his
face.
I
wanted
to
see
his
knees.
You
saw
how
worn
and
stained
they
were.
They
showed
hours
of
digging.
The
only
question
was
what
they
were
digging
for.
I
walked
around
the
corner,
saw
the
City
and
Suburban
Bank
next
to
the
shop,
and
knew
I
had
solved
it.
When
you
went
home
after
the
concert,
I
called
Scotland
Yard
and
the
bank's
chairman,
and
you
saw
the
result."
"How
did
you
know
they
would
try
tonight?"
I
asked.
"When
they
closed
their
League
office,
it
showed
they
didn't
care
about
Mr.
Jabez
Wilson
anymore.
They
finished
the
tunnel.
They
needed
to
use
it
soon
before
someone
found
it
or
the
gold
moved.
Saturday
was
best
for
them.
It
gave
two
days
to
escape.
So,
I
thought
they
would
come
tonight."
"You
figured
it
out
perfectly,"
I
said
with
real
admiration.
"It's
a
long
chain,
but
every
part
fits."
"It
saved
me
from
boredom,"
he
replied,
yawning.
"I
already
feel
it
coming
back.
I
spend
my
life
trying
to
escape
the
ordinary.
These
little
problems
help
me
do
that."
"You
help
people,"
I
said.
He
shrugged.
"Well,
maybe
it
is
a
bit
useful,"
he
said.
"As
Gustave
Flaubert
wrote
to
George
Sand,
'The
man
is
nothing—the
work
is
everything.'"
