“‘I
am
sure
that
I
do
not
know.’”
“‘It
is
to
keep
people
out
who
have
no
business
there.
Do
you
see?’
He
was
still
smiling
in
the
most
amiable
manner.”
“‘I
am
sure
if
I
had
known—’”
“‘Well,
then,
you
know
now.
And
if
you
ever
put
your
foot
over
that
threshold
again’—here
in
an
instant
the
smile
hardened
into
a
grin
of
rage,
and
he
glared
down
at
me
with
the
face
of
a
demon—‘I’ll
throw
you
to
the
mastiff.’”
“I
was
so
terrified
that
I
do
not
know
what
I
did.
I
suppose
that
I
must
have
rushed
past
him
into
my
room.
I
remember
nothing
until
I
found
myself
lying
on
my
bed
trembling
all
over.
Then
I
thought
of
you,
Mr.
Holmes.
I
could
not
live
there
longer
without
some
advice.
I
was
frightened
of
the
house,
of
the
man,
of
the
woman,
of
the
servants,
even
of
the
child.
They
were
all
horrible
to
me.
If
I
could
only
bring
you
down
all
would
be
well.
Of
course
I
might
have
fled
from
the
house,
but
my
curiosity
was
almost
as
strong
as
my
fears.
My
mind
was
soon
made
up.
I
would
send
you
a
wire.
I
put
on
my
hat
and
cloak,
went
down
to
the
office,
which
is
about
half
a
mile
from
the
house,
and
then
returned,
feeling
very
much
easier.
A
horrible
doubt
came
into
my
mind
as
I
approached
the
door
lest
the
dog
might
be
loose,
but
I
remembered
that
Toller
had
drunk
himself
into
a
state
of
insensibility
that
evening,
and
I
knew
that
he
was
the
only
one
in
the
household
who
had
any
influence
with
the
savage
creature,
or
who
would
venture
to
set
him
free.
I
slipped
in
in
safety
and
lay
awake
half
the
night
in
my
joy
at
the
thought
of
seeing
you.
I
had
no
difficulty
in
getting
leave
to
come
into
Winchester
this
morning,
but
I
must
be
back
before
three
o’clock,
for
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Rucastle
are
going
on
a
visit,
and
will
be
away
all
the
evening,
so
that
I
must
look
after
the
child.
Now
I
have
told
you
all
my
adventures,
Mr.
Holmes,
and
I
should
be
very
glad
if
you
could
tell
me
what
it
all
means,
and,
above
all,
what
I
should
do.”
Holmes
and
I
had
listened
spellbound
to
this
extraordinary
story.
My
friend
rose
now
and
paced
up
and
down
the
room,
his
hands
in
his
pockets,
and
an
expression
of
the
most
profound
gravity
upon
his
face.
“Is
Toller
still
drunk?”
he
asked.
“Yes.
I
heard
his
wife
tell
Mrs.
Rucastle
that
she
could
do
nothing
with
him.”
