"Ah!"
he
said,
putting
down
his
cup.
"I
feared
this.
How
did
it
happen?"
He
spoke
calmly,
but
I
saw
he
was
upset.
"I
saw
Openshaw's
name
and
the
headline
'Tragedy
Near
Waterloo
Bridge.'
Here's
the
story:"
"Last
night,
between
nine
and
ten,
Police-Constable
Cook
heard
a
cry
for
help
and
a
splash
near
Waterloo
Bridge.
The
night
was
dark
and
stormy,
so
even
with
help,
a
rescue
was
impossible.
The
alarm
was
raised,
and
the
water-police
found
the
body.
It
was
a
young
man
named
John
Openshaw,
who
lived
near
Horsham.
It's
thought
he
was
rushing
to
catch
the
last
train
and
missed
his
way
in
the
dark,
falling
into
the
river.
There
were
no
signs
of
violence,
and
it
seems
to
be
an
accident,
which
should
alert
the
authorities
to
the
condition
of
the
landing-stages."
We
sat
in
silence
for
a
while.
Holmes
looked
more
upset
than
I
had
ever
seen
him.
"This
hurts
my
pride,
Watson,"
he
said
finally.
"It's
a
small
feeling,
but
it
hurts.
Now
it's
personal.
If
I
stay
healthy,
I'll
catch
this
gang.
He
came
to
me
for
help,
and
I
sent
him
to
his
death—!"
He
jumped
up
and
paced
the
room,
his
cheeks
red
and
his
hands
moving
nervously.
"They
must
be
clever,"
he
said
at
last.
"How
did
they
trick
him
there?
The
Embankment
isn't
on
the
way
to
the
station.
The
bridge
was
probably
too
busy,
even
on
that
night,
for
their
plan.
Well,
Watson,
we'll
see
who
wins
in
the
end.
I'm
going
out
now!"
"To
the
police?"
"No;
I'll
be
my
own
police.
When
I
set
the
trap,
they
can
catch
them,
but
not
before."
