“Then
you
may
entirely
rely
on
me.”
“That
is
excellent.
I
think,
perhaps,
it
is
almost
time
that
I
prepare
for
the
new
role
I
have
to
play.”
He
disappeared
into
his
bedroom
and
returned
in
a
few
minutes
in
the
character
of
an
amiable
and
simple-minded
Nonconformist
clergyman.
His
broad
black
hat,
his
baggy
trousers,
his
white
tie,
his
sympathetic
smile,
and
general
look
of
peering
and
benevolent
curiosity
were
such
as
Mr.
John
Hare
alone
could
have
equalled.
It
was
not
merely
that
Holmes
changed
his
costume.
His
expression,
his
manner,
his
very
soul
seemed
to
vary
with
every
fresh
part
that
he
assumed.
The
stage
lost
a
fine
actor,
even
as
science
lost
an
acute
reasoner,
when
he
became
a
specialist
in
crime.
It
was
a
quarter
past
six
when
we
left
Baker
Street,
and
it
still
wanted
ten
minutes
to
the
hour
when
we
found
ourselves
in
Serpentine
Avenue.
It
was
already
dusk,
and
the
lamps
were
just
being
lighted
as
we
paced
up
and
down
in
front
of
Briony
Lodge,
waiting
for
the
coming
of
its
occupant.
The
house
was
just
such
as
I
had
pictured
it
from
Sherlock
Holmes’
succinct
description,
but
the
locality
appeared
to
be
less
private
than
I
expected.
On
the
contrary,
for
a
small
street
in
a
quiet
neighbourhood,
it
was
remarkably
animated.
There
was
a
group
of
shabbily
dressed
men
smoking
and
laughing
in
a
corner,
a
scissors-grinder
with
his
wheel,
two
guardsmen
who
were
flirting
with
a
nurse-girl,
and
several
well-dressed
young
men
who
were
lounging
up
and
down
with
cigars
in
their
mouths.
“You
see,”
remarked
Holmes,
as
we
paced
to
and
fro
in
front
of
the
house,
“this
marriage
rather
simplifies
matters.
The
photograph
becomes
a
double-edged
weapon
now.
The
chances
are
that
she
would
be
as
averse
to
its
being
seen
by
Mr.
Godfrey
Norton,
as
our
client
is
to
its
coming
to
the
eyes
of
his
princess.
Now
the
question
is,
Where
are
we
to
find
the
photograph?”
“Where,
indeed?”
“It
is
most
unlikely
that
she
carries
it
about
with
her.
It
is
cabinet
size.
Too
large
for
easy
concealment
about
a
woman’s
dress.
She
knows
that
the
King
is
capable
of
having
her
waylaid
and
searched.
Two
attempts
of
the
sort
have
already
been
made.
We
may
take
it,
then,
that
she
does
not
carry
it
about
with
her.”
“Where,
then?”
