"'So
if
it
was
removed,
it
happened
while
you
were
within
a
dozen
yards
of
it?'"
"'Yes,
but
I
had
my
back
to
it.'"
"This
ended
the
witness's
examination."
"I
see,"
I
said
as
I
looked
down
the
column,
"that
the
coroner
was
quite
harsh
on
young
McCarthy
in
his
final
remarks.
He
pointed
out
the
inconsistency
about
his
father
signaling
to
him
before
seeing
him,
his
refusal
to
share
details
of
their
conversation,
and
the
strange
story
of
his
father's
last
words.
These
points,
as
the
coroner
noted,
don't
look
good
for
the
son."
Holmes
chuckled
quietly
and
stretched
out
on
the
cushioned
seat.
"You
and
the
coroner
have
worked
hard,"
he
said,
"to
highlight
the
strongest
points
in
the
young
man's
favor.
Don't
you
see
that
you
either
credit
him
with
too
much
imagination
or
too
little?
Too
little
if
he
couldn't
think
up
a
reason
for
a
quarrel
that
would
win
the
jury's
sympathy;
too
much
if
he
made
up
something
as
odd
as
a
dying
reference
to
a
rat
and
the
disappearing
cloth.
No,
sir,
I'll
start
from
the
idea
that
what
the
young
man
says
is
true,
and
we'll
see
where
that
leads
us.
And
now,
here
is
my
pocket
Petrarch,
and
I
won't
say
another
word
about
this
case
until
we
reach
the
scene.
We
have
lunch
at
Swindon,
and
I
see
we'll
be
there
in
twenty
minutes."
It
was
almost
four
o'clock
when
we
finally
arrived
at
the
lovely
little
town
of
Ross,
after
passing
through
the
beautiful
Stroud
Valley
and
over
the
wide,
shining
Severn.
A
thin,
ferret-like
man,
who
looked
secretive
and
sly,
was
waiting
for
us
on
the
platform.
Despite
the
light
brown
dustcoat
and
leather
leggings
he
wore
to
fit
in
with
the
countryside,
I
easily
recognized
Lestrade
from
Scotland
Yard.
We
drove
with
him
to
the
Hereford
Arms,
where
we
already
had
a
room
booked.
"I've
ordered
a
carriage,"
said
Lestrade
as
we
enjoyed
a
cup
of
tea.
"I
knew
your
energetic
nature,
and
that
you
wouldn't
be
happy
until
you'd
visited
the
crime
scene."
"That
was
very
thoughtful
of
you,"
Holmes
replied.
"It's
all
about
barometric
pressure."
