"Here?"
"Yes,
and
it
turned
out
to
be
a
very
special
bird.
I
don't
blame
you
for
being
interested
in
it.
It
laid
an
egg
after
it
was
dead—the
most
beautiful
little
blue
egg
ever
seen.
I
have
it
here
in
my
collection."
Our
visitor
stood
up
shakily
and
held
onto
the
mantelpiece
with
his
right
hand.
Holmes
unlocked
his
strong-box
and
showed
the
blue
gem,
which
shone
like
a
star,
with
a
cold,
bright
light.
Ryder
stared
at
it
with
a
tense
face,
unsure
if
he
should
admit
it
was
his
or
not.
"The
game’s
up,
Ryder,"
said
Holmes
quietly.
"Careful,
or
you'll
fall
into
the
fire!
Watson,
help
him
back
into
his
chair.
He
doesn't
have
enough
strength
to
commit
crimes
without
consequences.
Give
him
a
bit
of
brandy.
There,
now
he
looks
a
bit
more
human.
What
a
little
fellow
he
is!"
For
a
moment,
Ryder
almost
fell,
but
the
brandy
brought
some
color
back
to
his
cheeks.
He
sat
there,
staring
with
scared
eyes
at
Holmes.
"I
have
almost
every
piece
of
evidence
I
need,
so
you
don't
have
to
tell
me
much.
But
you
might
as
well
clear
up
the
rest
to
complete
the
case.
You
heard
about
the
Countess
of
Morcar's
blue
stone,
didn't
you,
Ryder?"
"Catherine
Cusack
told
me
about
it,"
he
said
in
a
shaky
voice.
"I
see—her
ladyship's
maid.
Well,
the
temptation
of
quick
wealth
was
too
much
for
you,
as
it
has
been
for
better
men.
But
you
weren't
very
careful
about
how
you
went
about
it.
It
seems
to
me,
Ryder,
that
you
could
be
quite
a
villain.
You
knew
this
man
Horner,
the
plumber,
had
been
involved
in
something
similar
before,
and
people
would
suspect
him
easily.
What
did
you
do
then?
You
created
a
small
job
in
my
lady's
room
with
your
partner
Cusack,
and
made
sure
Horner
was
the
one
called
for
it.
Then,
after
he
left,
you
took
the
jewel,
raised
the
alarm,
and
had
this
poor
man
arrested.
You
then—"
