“But
his
wife—you
said
that
she
had
ceased
to
love
him.”
“This
hat
has
not
been
brushed
for
weeks.
When
I
see
you,
my
dear
Watson,
with
a
week’s
accumulation
of
dust
upon
your
hat,
and
when
your
wife
allows
you
to
go
out
in
such
a
state,
I
shall
fear
that
you
also
have
been
unfortunate
enough
to
lose
your
wife’s
affection.”
“But
he
might
be
a
bachelor.”
“Nay,
he
was
bringing
home
the
goose
as
a
peace-offering
to
his
wife.
Remember
the
card
upon
the
bird’s
leg.”
“You
have
an
answer
to
everything.
But
how
on
earth
do
you
deduce
that
the
gas
is
not
laid
on
in
his
house?”
“One
tallow
stain,
or
even
two,
might
come
by
chance;
but
when
I
see
no
less
than
five,
I
think
that
there
can
be
little
doubt
that
the
individual
must
be
brought
into
frequent
contact
with
burning
tallow—walks
upstairs
at
night
probably
with
his
hat
in
one
hand
and
a
guttering
candle
in
the
other.
Anyhow,
he
never
got
tallow-stains
from
a
gas-jet.
Are
you
satisfied?”
“Well,
it
is
very
ingenious,”
said
I,
laughing;
“but
since,
as
you
said
just
now,
there
has
been
no
crime
committed,
and
no
harm
done
save
the
loss
of
a
goose,
all
this
seems
to
be
rather
a
waste
of
energy.”
Sherlock
Holmes
had
opened
his
mouth
to
reply,
when
the
door
flew
open,
and
Peterson,
the
commissionaire,
rushed
into
the
apartment
with
flushed
cheeks
and
the
face
of
a
man
who
is
dazed
with
astonishment.
