"I
have
no
idea."
"It's
to
keep
people
out
who
shouldn't
be
there.
Do
you
understand?"
He
was
still
smiling
in
a
very
friendly
way.
"If
I
had
known—"
"Well,
now
you
know.
And
if
you
ever
cross
that
threshold
again"—his
smile
turned
into
a
fierce
grin,
and
he
glared
at
me
like
a
demon—"I'll
throw
you
to
the
mastiff."
"I
was
so
terrified
that
I
don't
remember
what
I
did.
I
must
have
rushed
past
him
into
my
room.
I
recall
nothing
until
I
found
myself
lying
on
my
bed,
trembling
all
over.
Then
I
thought
of
you,
Mr.
Holmes.
I
couldn't
stay
there
without
advice.
I
was
scared
of
the
house,
the
man,
the
woman,
the
servants,
even
the
child.
They
all
seemed
horrible
to
me.
If
I
could
just
bring
you
here,
everything
would
be
fine.
Of
course,
I
could
have
fled,
but
my
curiosity
was
almost
as
strong
as
my
fear.
I
quickly
decided
to
send
you
a
telegram.
I
put
on
my
hat
and
cloak,
went
to
the
office
about
half
a
mile
away,
and
returned
feeling
much
better.
As
I
approached
the
door,
I
worried
the
dog
might
be
loose,
but
I
remembered
Toller
was
drunk
and
knew
he
was
the
only
one
who
could
handle
the
beast.
I
slipped
in
safely
and
lay
awake
half
the
night,
happy
at
the
thought
of
seeing
you.
I
had
no
trouble
getting
permission
to
come
to
Winchester
this
morning,
but
I
must
be
back
by
three
o'clock
because
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Rucastle
are
going
out
and
I
need
to
watch
the
child.
Now
I've
told
you
everything,
Mr.
Holmes,
and
I
would
be
very
grateful
if
you
could
tell
me
what
it
all
means,
and
what
I
should
do."
Holmes
and
I
listened,
captivated
by
this
extraordinary
story.
My
friend
got
up
and
paced
the
room,
hands
in
his
pockets,
with
a
very
serious
look
on
his
face.
"Is
Toller
still
drunk?"
he
asked.
"Yes.
I
heard
his
wife
tell
Mrs.
Rucastle
she
couldn't
manage
him."
