"'Then
if
it
was
removed,
it
happened
while
you
were
within
a
dozen
yards
of
it?'"
"'Yes,
but
my
back
was
turned
to
it.'"
"This
concluded
the
examination
of
the
witness."
"I
see,"
I
said,
looking
at
the
column,
"that
the
coroner
was
quite
harsh
on
young
McCarthy
in
his
final
remarks.
He
points
out
the
inconsistency
about
his
father
signaling
him
before
seeing
him,
his
refusal
to
share
details
of
their
conversation,
and
his
odd
account
of
his
father's
last
words.
All
these,
as
he
notes,
are
very
much
against
the
son."
Holmes
chuckled
quietly
and
stretched
out
on
the
cushioned
seat.
"Both
you
and
the
coroner
have
put
effort,"
he
said,
"into
highlighting
the
strongest
points
in
the
young
man's
favor.
Don't
you
see
that
you
alternately
credit
him
with
too
much
imagination
and
too
little?
Too
little,
if
he
couldn't
invent
a
cause
for
a
quarrel
to
gain
the
jury's
sympathy;
too
much,
if
he
imagined
something
as
bizarre
as
a
dying
reference
to
a
rat
and
the
vanishing
cloth.
No,
sir,
I
will
approach
this
case
assuming
what
this
young
man
says
is
true,
and
we
shall
see
where
that
leads
us.
Now,
here
is
my
pocket
Petrarch,
and
I
won't
speak
of
this
case
again
until
we're
on
the
scene.
We
lunch
at
Swindon,
and
I
see
we'll
be
there
in
twenty
minutes."
It
was
nearly
four
o'clock
when
we
finally
arrived
at
the
charming
little
town
of
Ross,
after
traveling
through
the
beautiful
Stroud
Valley
and
over
the
wide,
shining
Severn.
A
lean,
ferret-like
man,
with
a
sly
look,
was
waiting
for
us
at
the
platform.
Despite
his
light
brown
dustcoat
and
leather
leggings,
which
he
wore
to
blend
in
with
the
countryside,
I
easily
recognized
Lestrade
from
Scotland
Yard.
We
drove
with
him
to
the
Hereford
Arms,
where
a
room
was
already
reserved
for
us.
"I've
ordered
a
carriage,"
said
Lestrade
as
we
enjoyed
a
cup
of
tea.
"I
knew
your
energetic
nature
and
that
you
wouldn't
be
satisfied
until
you'd
been
to
the
crime
scene."
"That
was
very
thoughtful
and
complimentary
of
you,"
Holmes
replied.
"It's
all
about
barometric
pressure."
