"And
who
could
be
her
partner
in
crime?
It
must
be
a
lover,
as
who
else
could
be
more
important
than
her
love
and
gratitude
to
you?
I
knew
you
didn't
go
out
much,
and
your
friends
were
few.
But
among
them
was
Sir
George
Burnwell.
I
had
heard
he
had
a
bad
reputation
with
women.
It
must
have
been
him
who
wore
those
boots
and
kept
the
missing
gems.
Even
though
Arthur
had
discovered
him,
he
might
still
think
he
was
safe
because
Arthur
couldn't
speak
without
harming
his
own
family."
"Your
own
good
sense
will
tell
you
what
I
did
next.
I
disguised
myself
as
a
loafer
and
went
to
Sir
George's
house.
I
made
friends
with
his
valet,
learned
that
Sir
George
had
cut
his
head
the
night
before,
and
for
six
shillings,
I
bought
a
pair
of
his
old
shoes.
With
these,
I
went
to
Streatham
and
saw
they
matched
the
tracks
exactly."
"I
saw
a
poorly
dressed
vagabond
in
the
lane
yesterday
evening,"
said
Mr.
Holder.
"Exactly.
That
was
me.
I
found
my
man,
so
I
went
home
and
changed
my
clothes.
It
was
a
tricky
situation
because
I
knew
we
had
to
avoid
a
trial
to
prevent
scandal.
I
knew
such
a
clever
villain
would
see
that
we
couldn't
act
openly.
I
went
to
see
him.
At
first,
he
denied
everything.
But
when
I
told
him
all
the
details,
he
tried
to
act
tough
and
took
a
weapon
from
the
wall.
I
knew
him
well,
so
I
pointed
a
pistol
at
his
head
before
he
could
attack.
Then
he
started
to
listen.
I
told
him
we
would
pay
£1000
for
each
stone
he
had.
That
made
him
show
some
regret.
'Why,
I've
sold
them
for
six
hundred
for
all
three!'
he
said.
I
got
the
address
of
the
person
who
had
them
by
promising
no
prosecution.
I
went
to
him,
and
after
some
bargaining,
I
got
our
stones
for
£1000
each.
Then
I
visited
your
son,
told
him
everything
was
fine,
and
finally
got
to
bed
around
two
o'clock
after
a
very
hard
day's
work."
"A
day
that
saved
England
from
a
big
public
scandal,"
said
the
banker,
standing
up.
"Sir,
I
can't
find
words
to
thank
you,
but
I
will
not
be
ungrateful
for
what
you've
done.
Your
skill
is
beyond
anything
I've
heard.
Now
I
must
go
to
my
dear
boy
to
apologize
for
the
wrong
I've
done
him.
As
for
what
you
tell
me
about
poor
Mary,
it
breaks
my
heart.
Not
even
your
skill
can
tell
me
where
she
is
now."
"I
think
we
can
safely
say,"
replied
Holmes,
"that
she
is
wherever
Sir
George
Burnwell
is.
It's
also
certain
that
whatever
her
wrongs
are,
she
will
soon
face
more
than
enough
punishment."
