“I’ve
wasted
time
enough,”
said
Lestrade,
rising.
“I
believe
in
hard
work
and
not
in
sitting
by
the
fire
spinning
fine
theories.
Good-day,
Mr.
Holmes,
and
we
shall
see
which
gets
to
the
bottom
of
the
matter
first.”
He
gathered
up
the
garments,
thrust
them
into
the
bag,
and
made
for
the
door.
“Just
one
hint
to
you,
Lestrade,”
drawled
Holmes
before
his
rival
vanished;
“I
will
tell
you
the
true
solution
of
the
matter.
Lady
St.
Simon
is
a
myth.
There
is
not,
and
there
never
has
been,
any
such
person.”
Lestrade
looked
sadly
at
my
companion.
Then
he
turned
to
me,
tapped
his
forehead
three
times,
shook
his
head
solemnly,
and
hurried
away.
He
had
hardly
shut
the
door
behind
him
when
Holmes
rose
to
put
on
his
overcoat.
“There
is
something
in
what
the
fellow
says
about
outdoor
work,”
he
remarked,
“so
I
think,
Watson,
that
I
must
leave
you
to
your
papers
for
a
little.”
It
was
after
five
o’clock
when
Sherlock
Holmes
left
me,
but
I
had
no
time
to
be
lonely,
for
within
an
hour
there
arrived
a
confectioner’s
man
with
a
very
large
flat
box.
This
he
unpacked
with
the
help
of
a
youth
whom
he
had
brought
with
him,
and
presently,
to
my
very
great
astonishment,
a
quite
epicurean
little
cold
supper
began
to
be
laid
out
upon
our
humble
lodging-house
mahogany.
There
were
a
couple
of
brace
of
cold
woodcock,
a
pheasant,
a
pâté
de
foie
gras
pie
with
a
group
of
ancient
and
cobwebby
bottles.
Having
laid
out
all
these
luxuries,
my
two
visitors
vanished
away,
like
the
genii
of
the
Arabian
Nights,
with
no
explanation
save
that
the
things
had
been
paid
for
and
were
ordered
to
this
address.
Just
before
nine
o’clock
Sherlock
Holmes
stepped
briskly
into
the
room.
His
features
were
gravely
set,
but
there
was
a
light
in
his
eye
which
made
me
think
that
he
had
not
been
disappointed
in
his
conclusions.
“They
have
laid
the
supper,
then,”
he
said,
rubbing
his
hands.
“You
seem
to
expect
company.
They
have
laid
for
five.”
