"Very.
But
will
he
see
it?"
"Well,
he
will
surely
watch
the
newspapers,
since
losing
the
bird
was
a
big
blow
for
a
poor
man.
He
was
so
frightened
by
breaking
the
window
and
seeing
Peterson
that
he
only
thought
of
running
away.
Since
then,
he
must
have
regretted
dropping
his
bird.
Also,
when
his
name
appears,
people
who
know
him
will
tell
him
about
it.
Peterson,
take
this
to
the
advertising
agency
and
get
it
in
the
evening
papers."
"Which
ones,
sir?"
"Oh,
in
the
Globe,
Star,
Pall
Mall,
St.
James’s
Gazette,
Evening
News,
Standard,
Echo,
and
any
others
you
think
of."
"Very
well,
sir.
And
what
about
this
stone?"
"Ah,
yes,
I'll
keep
the
stone.
Thank
you.
And,
Peterson,
buy
a
goose
on
your
way
back
and
leave
it
here,
as
we
need
one
to
give
to
the
gentleman
instead
of
the
one
your
family
is
eating
now."
Once
Peterson
had
left,
Holmes
held
the
stone
up
to
the
light.
"It's
a
beautiful
thing,"
he
said.
"Look
how
it
shines
and
sparkles.
It's
a
magnet
for
crime,
as
all
good
stones
are.
They're
like
bait
for
trouble.
In
older
jewels,
every
side
might
represent
a
crime.
This
stone
is
less
than
twenty
years
old.
It
was
found
by
the
Amoy
River
in
southern
China
and
looks
like
a
carbuncle,
but
it's
blue
instead
of
red.
Despite
its
age,
it
already
has
a
dark
history.
There
have
been
two
murders,
an
acid
attack,
a
suicide,
and
several
thefts
for
this
forty-grain
piece
of
crystallized
carbon.
Who
would
think
such
a
pretty
thing
could
lead
to
such
misery?
I'll
lock
it
in
my
strongbox
and
write
to
the
Countess
to
tell
her
we
have
it."
"Do
you
think
this
man
Horner
is
innocent?"
