“Precisely.
And
if
it
were
guilty,
why
did
he
not
invent
a
lie?
His
silence
appears
to
me
to
cut
both
ways.
There
are
several
singular
points
about
the
case.
What
did
the
police
think
of
the
noise
which
awoke
you
from
your
sleep?”
“They
considered
that
it
might
be
caused
by
Arthur’s
closing
his
bedroom
door.”
“A
likely
story!
As
if
a
man
bent
on
felony
would
slam
his
door
so
as
to
wake
a
household.
What
did
they
say,
then,
of
the
disappearance
of
these
gems?”
“They
are
still
sounding
the
planking
and
probing
the
furniture
in
the
hope
of
finding
them.”
“Have
they
thought
of
looking
outside
the
house?”
“Yes,
they
have
shown
extraordinary
energy.
The
whole
garden
has
already
been
minutely
examined.”
“Now,
my
dear
sir,”
said
Holmes,
“is
it
not
obvious
to
you
now
that
this
matter
really
strikes
very
much
deeper
than
either
you
or
the
police
were
at
first
inclined
to
think?
It
appeared
to
you
to
be
a
simple
case;
to
me
it
seems
exceedingly
complex.
Consider
what
is
involved
by
your
theory.
You
suppose
that
your
son
came
down
from
his
bed,
went,
at
great
risk,
to
your
dressing-room,
opened
your
bureau,
took
out
your
coronet,
broke
off
by
main
force
a
small
portion
of
it,
went
off
to
some
other
place,
concealed
three
gems
out
of
the
thirty-nine,
with
such
skill
that
nobody
can
find
them,
and
then
returned
with
the
other
thirty-six
into
the
room
in
which
he
exposed
himself
to
the
greatest
danger
of
being
discovered.
I
ask
you
now,
is
such
a
theory
tenable?”
“But
what
other
is
there?”
cried
the
banker
with
a
gesture
of
despair.
“If
his
motives
were
innocent,
why
does
he
not
explain
them?”
