“So
it
appears.”
“He
is
so
cunning
that
I
never
know
when
I
am
safe
from
him.
What
will
he
say
when
he
returns?”
“He
must
guard
himself,
for
he
may
find
that
there
is
someone
more
cunning
than
himself
upon
his
track.
You
must
lock
yourself
up
from
him
to-night.
If
he
is
violent,
we
shall
take
you
away
to
your
aunt’s
at
Harrow.
Now,
we
must
make
the
best
use
of
our
time,
so
kindly
take
us
at
once
to
the
rooms
which
we
are
to
examine.”
The
building
was
of
grey,
lichen-blotched
stone,
with
a
high
central
portion
and
two
curving
wings,
like
the
claws
of
a
crab,
thrown
out
on
each
side.
In
one
of
these
wings
the
windows
were
broken
and
blocked
with
wooden
boards,
while
the
roof
was
partly
caved
in,
a
picture
of
ruin.
The
central
portion
was
in
little
better
repair,
but
the
right-hand
block
was
comparatively
modern,
and
the
blinds
in
the
windows,
with
the
blue
smoke
curling
up
from
the
chimneys,
showed
that
this
was
where
the
family
resided.
Some
scaffolding
had
been
erected
against
the
end
wall,
and
the
stone-work
had
been
broken
into,
but
there
were
no
signs
of
any
workmen
at
the
moment
of
our
visit.
Holmes
walked
slowly
up
and
down
the
ill-trimmed
lawn
and
examined
with
deep
attention
the
outsides
of
the
windows.
“This,
I
take
it,
belongs
to
the
room
in
which
you
used
to
sleep,
the
centre
one
to
your
sister’s,
and
the
one
next
to
the
main
building
to
Dr.
Roylott’s
chamber?”
“Exactly
so.
But
I
am
now
sleeping
in
the
middle
one.”
“Pending
the
alterations,
as
I
understand.
By
the
way,
there
does
not
seem
to
be
any
very
pressing
need
for
repairs
at
that
end
wall.”
“There
were
none.
I
believe
that
it
was
an
excuse
to
move
me
from
my
room.”
