“How
on
earth—”
“My
dear
fellow,
I
know
you
well.
I
know
the
military
neatness
which
characterises
you.
You
shave
every
morning,
and
in
this
season
you
shave
by
the
sunlight;
but
since
your
shaving
is
less
and
less
complete
as
we
get
farther
back
on
the
left
side,
until
it
becomes
positively
slovenly
as
we
get
round
the
angle
of
the
jaw,
it
is
surely
very
clear
that
that
side
is
less
illuminated
than
the
other.
I
could
not
imagine
a
man
of
your
habits
looking
at
himself
in
an
equal
light
and
being
satisfied
with
such
a
result.
I
only
quote
this
as
a
trivial
example
of
observation
and
inference.
Therein
lies
my
métier,
and
it
is
just
possible
that
it
may
be
of
some
service
in
the
investigation
which
lies
before
us.
There
are
one
or
two
minor
points
which
were
brought
out
in
the
inquest,
and
which
are
worth
considering.”
“What
are
they?”
“It
appears
that
his
arrest
did
not
take
place
at
once,
but
after
the
return
to
Hatherley
Farm.
On
the
inspector
of
constabulary
informing
him
that
he
was
a
prisoner,
he
remarked
that
he
was
not
surprised
to
hear
it,
and
that
it
was
no
more
than
his
deserts.
This
observation
of
his
had
the
natural
effect
of
removing
any
traces
of
doubt
which
might
have
remained
in
the
minds
of
the
coroner’s
jury.”
“It
was
a
confession,”
I
ejaculated.
“No,
for
it
was
followed
by
a
protestation
of
innocence.”
“Coming
on
the
top
of
such
a
damning
series
of
events,
it
was
at
least
a
most
suspicious
remark.”
“On
the
contrary,”
said
Holmes,
“it
is
the
brightest
rift
which
I
can
at
present
see
in
the
clouds.
However
innocent
he
might
be,
he
could
not
be
such
an
absolute
imbecile
as
not
to
see
that
the
circumstances
were
very
black
against
him.
Had
he
appeared
surprised
at
his
own
arrest,
or
feigned
indignation
at
it,
I
should
have
looked
upon
it
as
highly
suspicious,
because
such
surprise
or
anger
would
not
be
natural
under
the
circumstances,
and
yet
might
appear
to
be
the
best
policy
to
a
scheming
man.
His
frank
acceptance
of
the
situation
marks
him
as
either
an
innocent
man,
or
else
as
a
man
of
considerable
self-restraint
and
firmness.
As
to
his
remark
about
his
deserts,
it
was
also
not
unnatural
if
you
consider
that
he
stood
beside
the
dead
body
of
his
father,
and
that
there
is
no
doubt
that
he
had
that
very
day
so
far
forgotten
his
filial
duty
as
to
bandy
words
with
him,
and
even,
according
to
the
little
girl
whose
evidence
is
so
important,
to
raise
his
hand
as
if
to
strike
him.
The
self-reproach
and
contrition
which
are
displayed
in
his
remark
appear
to
me
to
be
the
signs
of
a
healthy
mind
rather
than
of
a
guilty
one.”
