“Then
put
on
your
hat
and
come.
I
am
going
through
the
City
first,
and
we
can
have
some
lunch
on
the
way.
I
observe
that
there
is
a
good
deal
of
German
music
on
the
programme,
which
is
rather
more
to
my
taste
than
Italian
or
French.
It
is
introspective,
and
I
want
to
introspect.
Come
along!”
We
travelled
by
the
Underground
as
far
as
Aldersgate;
and
a
short
walk
took
us
to
Saxe-Coburg
Square,
the
scene
of
the
singular
story
which
we
had
listened
to
in
the
morning.
It
was
a
poky,
little,
shabby-genteel
place,
where
four
lines
of
dingy
two-storied
brick
houses
looked
out
into
a
small
railed-in
enclosure,
where
a
lawn
of
weedy
grass
and
a
few
clumps
of
faded
laurel
bushes
made
a
hard
fight
against
a
smoke-laden
and
uncongenial
atmosphere.
Three
gilt
balls
and
a
brown
board
with
“JABEZ
WILSON”
in
white
letters,
upon
a
corner
house,
announced
the
place
where
our
red-headed
client
carried
on
his
business.
Sherlock
Holmes
stopped
in
front
of
it
with
his
head
on
one
side
and
looked
it
all
over,
with
his
eyes
shining
brightly
between
puckered
lids.
Then
he
walked
slowly
up
the
street,
and
then
down
again
to
the
corner,
still
looking
keenly
at
the
houses.
Finally
he
returned
to
the
pawnbroker’s,
and,
having
thumped
vigorously
upon
the
pavement
with
his
stick
two
or
three
times,
he
went
up
to
the
door
and
knocked.
It
was
instantly
opened
by
a
bright-looking,
clean-shaven
young
fellow,
who
asked
him
to
step
in.
“Thank
you,”
said
Holmes,
“I
only
wished
to
ask
you
how
you
would
go
from
here
to
the
Strand.”
“Third
right,
fourth
left,”
answered
the
assistant
promptly,
closing
the
door.
“Smart
fellow,
that,”
observed
Holmes
as
we
walked
away.
“He
is,
in
my
judgment,
the
fourth
smartest
man
in
London,
and
for
daring
I
am
not
sure
that
he
has
not
a
claim
to
be
third.
I
have
known
something
of
him
before.”
“Evidently,”
said
I,
“Mr.
Wilson’s
assistant
counts
for
a
good
deal
in
this
mystery
of
the
Red-headed
League.
I
am
sure
that
you
inquired
your
way
merely
in
order
that
you
might
see
him.”
“Not
him.”
“What
then?”
