"Here?"
"Yes,
and
it
was
a
very
special
bird.
I
see
why
you
are
interested
in
it.
It
laid
an
egg
after
it
died—the
prettiest,
brightest
little
blue
egg
ever
seen.
I
have
it
here
in
my
museum."
Our
visitor
stood
up
quickly
and
held
the
mantelpiece
with
his
hand.
Holmes
opened
his
strong-box
and
showed
the
blue
stone,
which
shone
like
a
star.
Ryder
looked
at
it
with
a
pale
face,
unsure
if
he
should
claim
it
or
deny
it.
"It's
over,
Ryder,"
said
Holmes
quietly.
"Be
careful,
or
you
will
fall
into
the
fire!
Help
him
back
into
his
chair,
Watson.
He
isn't
strong
enough
for
crime.
Give
him
some
brandy.
There!
Now
he
looks
a
bit
better.
What
a
small
man
he
is!"
He
almost
fell,
but
the
brandy
brought
color
to
his
cheeks.
He
sat
and
stared
with
scared
eyes
at
Holmes.
"I
have
almost
all
the
evidence,
and
all
the
proof
I
need.
You
don’t
need
to
tell
me
much.
But
you
should
clear
up
a
few
things.
You
heard
about
the
blue
stone
of
the
Countess
of
Morcar?"
"Catherine
Cusack
told
me
about
it,"
he
said
in
a
shaky
voice.
"I
see—her
ladyship’s
maid.
Well,
the
idea
of
quick
money
was
too
tempting
for
you,
like
it
is
for
many.
But
you
weren't
careful
in
your
methods.
It
seems,
Ryder,
you
could
be
quite
a
villain.
You
knew
Horner,
the
plumber,
had
been
in
trouble
before,
and
people
would
suspect
him.
What
did
you
do?
You
made
a
small
job
in
the
lady's
room
with
Cusack,
and
you
made
sure
Horner
was
called.
Then,
after
he
left,
you
stole
the
jewel,
raised
the
alarm,
and
had
him
arrested.
You
then—"
