"Ah!"
I
said.
"If
it’s
a
problem
you
want
solved,
I
suggest
you
see
my
friend,
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes,
before
going
to
the
police."
"Oh,
I’ve
heard
of
him,"
my
visitor
answered.
"I’d
be
glad
if
he
took
the
case,
though
I’ll
still
involve
the
police.
Could
you
introduce
me
to
him?"
"I’ll
do
better.
I’ll
take
you
to
him
myself."
"I’d
be
very
grateful."
"We’ll
call
a
cab
and
go
together.
We
can
have
breakfast
with
him.
Are
you
up
for
it?"
"Yes,
I
won’t
feel
at
ease
until
I
tell
my
story."
"Then
my
servant
will
call
a
cab,
and
I’ll
be
with
you
in
a
moment."
I
rushed
upstairs,
briefly
explained
to
my
wife,
and
within
five
minutes,
I
was
in
a
cab,
heading
to
Baker
Street
with
my
new
acquaintance.
Sherlock
Holmes
was,
as
I
thought,
relaxing
in
his
sitting-room.
He
wore
his
dressing-gown,
reading
the
agony
column
of
The
Times
and
smoking
his
pipe
before
breakfast.
This
pipe
was
made
from
the
leftovers
of
the
previous
day's
smokes,
all
carefully
dried
and
collected
on
the
mantelpiece.
He
welcomed
us
warmly,
ordered
fresh
bacon
and
eggs,
and
joined
us
for
a
hearty
meal.
After
we
finished,
he
settled
our
new
guest
on
the
sofa,
placed
a
pillow
under
his
head,
and
put
a
glass
of
brandy
and
water
within
his
reach.
