“Very
good.
Now,
Mr.
Wilson?”
“Well,
it
is
just
as
I
have
been
telling
you,
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes,”
said
Jabez
Wilson,
mopping
his
forehead;
“I
have
a
small
pawnbroker’s
business
at
Coburg
Square,
near
the
City.
It’s
not
a
very
large
affair,
and
of
late
years
it
has
not
done
more
than
just
give
me
a
living.
I
used
to
be
able
to
keep
two
assistants,
but
now
I
only
keep
one;
and
I
would
have
a
job
to
pay
him
but
that
he
is
willing
to
come
for
half
wages
so
as
to
learn
the
business.”
“What
is
the
name
of
this
obliging
youth?”
asked
Sherlock
Holmes.
“His
name
is
Vincent
Spaulding,
and
he’s
not
such
a
youth,
either.
It’s
hard
to
say
his
age.
I
should
not
wish
a
smarter
assistant,
Mr.
Holmes;
and
I
know
very
well
that
he
could
better
himself
and
earn
twice
what
I
am
able
to
give
him.
But,
after
all,
if
he
is
satisfied,
why
should
I
put
ideas
in
his
head?”
“Why,
indeed?
You
seem
most
fortunate
in
having
an
employé
who
comes
under
the
full
market
price.
It
is
not
a
common
experience
among
employers
in
this
age.
I
don’t
know
that
your
assistant
is
not
as
remarkable
as
your
advertisement.”
“Oh,
he
has
his
faults,
too,”
said
Mr.
Wilson.
“Never
was
such
a
fellow
for
photography.
Snapping
away
with
a
camera
when
he
ought
to
be
improving
his
mind,
and
then
diving
down
into
the
cellar
like
a
rabbit
into
its
hole
to
develop
his
pictures.
That
is
his
main
fault,
but
on
the
whole
he’s
a
good
worker.
There’s
no
vice
in
him.”
“He
is
still
with
you,
I
presume?”
“Yes,
sir.
He
and
a
girl
of
fourteen,
who
does
a
bit
of
simple
cooking
and
keeps
the
place
clean—that’s
all
I
have
in
the
house,
for
I
am
a
widower
and
never
had
any
family.
We
live
very
quietly,
sir,
the
three
of
us;
and
we
keep
a
roof
over
our
heads
and
pay
our
debts,
if
we
do
nothing
more.”
