The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor

“And
is
that
all?”
“Only
one
little
item
in
another
of
the
morning
papers,
but
it
is
a
suggestive
one.”
“And
it
is—”
“That
Miss
Flora
Millar,
the
lady
who
had
caused
the
disturbance,
has
actually
been
arrested.
It
appears
that
she
was
formerly
a
danseuse
at
the
Allegro,
and
that
she
has
known
the
bridegroom
for
some
years.
There
are
no
further
particulars,
and
the
whole
case
is
in
your
hands
now—so
far
as
it
has
been
set
forth
in
the
public
press.”
“And
an
exceedingly
interesting
case
it
appears
to
be.
I
would
not
have
missed
it
for
worlds.
But
there
is
a
ring
at
the
bell,
Watson,
and
as
the
clock
makes
it
a
few
minutes
after
four,
I
have
no
doubt
that
this
will
prove
to
be
our
noble
client.
Do
not
dream
of
going,
Watson,
for
I
very
much
prefer
having
a
witness,
if
only
as
a
check
to
my
own
memory.”
“Lord
Robert
St.
Simon,”
announced
our
page-boy,
throwing
open
the
door.
A
gentleman
entered,
with
a
pleasant,
cultured
face,
high-nosed
and
pale,
with
something
perhaps
of
petulance
about
the
mouth,
and
with
the
steady,
well-opened
eye
of
a
man
whose
pleasant
lot
it
had
ever
been
to
command
and
to
be
obeyed.
His
manner
was
brisk,
and
yet
his
general
appearance
gave
an
undue
impression
of
age,
for
he
had
a
slight
forward
stoop
and
a
little
bend
of
the
knees
as
he
walked.
His
hair,
too,
as
he
swept
off
his
very
curly-brimmed
hat,
was
grizzled
round
the
edges
and
thin
upon
the
top.
As
to
his
dress,
it
was
careful
to
the
verge
of
foppishness,
with
high
collar,
black
frock-coat,
white
waistcoat,
yellow
gloves,
patent-leather
shoes,
and
light-coloured
gaiters.
He
advanced
slowly
into
the
room,
turning
his
head
from
left
to
right,
and
swinging
in
his
right
hand
the
cord
which
held
his
golden
eyeglasses.
“Good-day,
Lord
St.
Simon,”
said
Holmes,
rising
and
bowing.
“Pray
take
the
basket-chair.
This
is
my
friend
and
colleague,
Dr.
Watson.
Draw
up
a
little
to
the
fire,
and
we
will
talk
this
matter
over.”
“A
most
painful
matter
to
me,
as
you
can
most
readily
imagine,
Mr.
Holmes.
I
have
been
cut
to
the
quick.
I
understand
that
you
have
already
managed
several
delicate
cases
of
this
sort,
sir,
though
I
presume
that
they
were
hardly
from
the
same
class
of
society.”
