"Exactly.
And
if
he
was
guilty,
why
didn't
he
invent
a
lie?
His
silence
seems
to
cut
both
ways.
There
are
several
strange
points
about
the
case.
What
did
the
police
think
about
the
noise
that
woke
you?"
"They
thought
it
might
have
been
Arthur
closing
his
bedroom
door."
"A
likely
story!
As
if
a
man
bent
on
crime
would
slam
his
door
and
wake
the
household.
What
did
they
say
about
the
disappearance
of
the
gems?"
"They
are
still
checking
the
floorboards
and
probing
the
furniture
hoping
to
find
them."
"Have
they
considered
looking
outside
the
house?"
"Yes,
they
have
shown
extraordinary
energy.
The
whole
garden
has
already
been
thoroughly
examined."
"Now,
my
dear
sir,"
said
Holmes,
"isn't
it
clear
now
that
this
situation
is
much
more
serious
than
you
or
the
police
initially
thought?
You
believed
it
was
a
simple
case;
to
me,
it
seems
very
complicated.
Think
about
what
your
theory
involves.
You
suggest
that
your
son
got
out
of
bed,
went
to
your
dressing
room,
opened
your
bureau,
took
your
coronet,
forcibly
broke
a
small
piece
off
it,
went
somewhere
else,
hid
three
gems
out
of
thirty-nine
so
cleverly
that
no
one
can
find
them,
and
then
returned
with
the
remaining
thirty-six
to
the
room
where
he
risked
being
caught.
I
ask
you,
is
such
a
theory
believable?"
"But
what
else
could
it
be?"
cried
the
banker,
gesturing
in
despair.
"If
his
intentions
were
innocent,
why
doesn't
he
explain?"
