"But
we
can't
all
be."
"Oh,
yes,
you
can.
This
is
my
point."
He
placed
his
finger
in
the
middle
of
the
circle.
"This
is
where
we'll
find
them."
"But
the
twelve-mile
drive?"
asked
Hatherley,
surprised.
"Six
miles
out
and
six
back.
It's
simple.
You
said
the
horse
was
fresh
and
glossy
when
you
got
in.
How
could
that
be
if
it
had
traveled
twelve
miles
on
rough
roads?"
"It
seems
like
a
likely
trick,"
Bradstreet
said
thoughtfully.
"There
can
be
no
doubt
about
what
this
gang
is."
"None
at
all,"
Holmes
replied.
"They
are
large-scale
counterfeiters,
using
the
machine
to
make
the
amalgam
that
replaces
silver."
"We've
known
for
a
while
that
a
clever
gang
was
operating,"
said
the
inspector.
"They've
been
producing
thousands
of
half-crowns.
We
traced
them
to
Reading
but
couldn't
go
further,
as
they
covered
their
tracks
well.
But
now,
thanks
to
this
lucky
break,
I
think
we
have
them."
But
the
inspector
was
wrong,
as
those
criminals
would
not
be
caught.
As
we
arrived
at
Eyford
Station,
we
saw
a
huge
column
of
smoke
rising
from
behind
a
small
group
of
trees
nearby,
hanging
like
a
large
ostrich
feather
over
the
landscape.
