"Ah!"
he
said,
putting
down
his
cup,
"I
feared
this.
How
did
it
happen?"
He
spoke
calmly,
but
I
could
see
he
was
deeply
affected.
"I
saw
Openshaw's
name
and
the
headline
'Tragedy
Near
Waterloo
Bridge.'
Here's
what
it
says:"
"'Between
nine
and
ten
last
night,
Police-Constable
Cook,
of
the
H
Division,
on
duty
near
Waterloo
Bridge,
heard
a
cry
for
help
and
a
splash
in
the
water.
The
night
was
very
dark
and
stormy,
making
it
impossible
to
rescue
him
despite
help
from
several
passers-by.
The
alarm
was
raised,
and
with
the
help
of
the
water-police,
the
body
was
recovered.
It
was
a
young
man
named
John
Openshaw,
from
an
address
near
Horsham.
It's
thought
he
was
rushing
to
catch
the
last
train
from
Waterloo
Station
and,
in
the
darkness,
walked
off
the
edge
of
a
landing
place
for
riverboats.
The
body
showed
no
signs
of
violence,
and
it
seems
he
was
the
victim
of
a
tragic
accident.
This
should
alert
the
authorities
to
the
condition
of
the
riverside
landing-stages.'"
We
sat
in
silence
for
a
few
minutes,
Holmes
more
upset
than
I
had
ever
seen
him.
"This
hurts
my
pride,
Watson,"
he
finally
said.
"It's
a
small
feeling,
but
it
hurts.
This
is
personal
now,
and
if
I'm
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,
clearly
agitated,
his
face
flushed
and
hands
moving
nervously.
"They
must
be
clever,"
he
said
at
last.
"How
did
they
lure
him
there?
The
Embankment
isn't
on
the
way
to
the
station.
The
bridge
must
have
been
too
crowded,
even
on
such
a
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.
Once
I've
set
the
trap,
they
can
catch
the
criminals,
but
not
before."
