“Ah!”
said
he,
laying
down
his
cup,
“I
feared
as
much.
How
was
it
done?”
He
spoke
calmly,
but
I
could
see
that
he
was
deeply
moved.
“My
eye
caught
the
name
of
Openshaw,
and
the
heading
‘Tragedy
Near
Waterloo
Bridge.’
Here
is
the
account:”
“‘Between
nine
and
ten
last
night
Police-Constable
Cook,
of
the
H
Division,
on
duty
near
Waterloo
Bridge,
heard
a
cry
for
help
and
a
splash
in
the
water.
The
night,
however,
was
extremely
dark
and
stormy,
so
that,
in
spite
of
the
help
of
several
passers-by,
it
was
quite
impossible
to
effect
a
rescue.
The
alarm,
however,
was
given,
and,
by
the
aid
of
the
water-police,
the
body
was
eventually
recovered.
It
proved
to
be
that
of
a
young
gentleman
whose
name,
as
it
appears
from
an
envelope
which
was
found
in
his
pocket,
was
John
Openshaw,
and
whose
residence
is
near
Horsham.
It
is
conjectured
that
he
may
have
been
hurrying
down
to
catch
the
last
train
from
Waterloo
Station,
and
that
in
his
haste
and
the
extreme
darkness
he
missed
his
path
and
walked
over
the
edge
of
one
of
the
small
landing-places
for
river
steamboats.
The
body
exhibited
no
traces
of
violence,
and
there
can
be
no
doubt
that
the
deceased
had
been
the
victim
of
an
unfortunate
accident,
which
should
have
the
effect
of
calling
the
attention
of
the
authorities
to
the
condition
of
the
riverside
landing-stages.’”
We
sat
in
silence
for
some
minutes,
Holmes
more
depressed
and
shaken
than
I
had
ever
seen
him.
“That
hurts
my
pride,
Watson,”
he
said
at
last.
“It
is
a
petty
feeling,
no
doubt,
but
it
hurts
my
pride.
It
becomes
a
personal
matter
with
me
now,
and,
if
God
sends
me
health,
I
shall
set
my
hand
upon
this
gang.
That
he
should
come
to
me
for
help,
and
that
I
should
send
him
away
to
his
death—!”
He
sprang
from
his
chair
and
paced
about
the
room
in
uncontrollable
agitation,
with
a
flush
upon
his
sallow
cheeks
and
a
nervous
clasping
and
unclasping
of
his
long
thin
hands.
“They
must
be
cunning
devils,”
he
exclaimed
at
last.
“How
could
they
have
decoyed
him
down
there?
The
Embankment
is
not
on
the
direct
line
to
the
station.
The
bridge,
no
doubt,
was
too
crowded,
even
on
such
a
night,
for
their
purpose.
Well,
Watson,
we
shall
see
who
will
win
in
the
long
run.
I
am
going
out
now!”
“To
the
police?”
“No;
I
shall
be
my
own
police.
When
I
have
spun
the
web
they
may
take
the
flies,
but
not
before.”
