Ensimmäinen asia, joka vaikuttaa, on tietysti mahdollisuus, että henkilö, joka on nyt ruumiin, voi olla erilainen kuin henkilö, joka häneltä liittyy. Miksi sinun pitäisi ajatella näin? Tämän sigaretin jälkeen, oliko se suosittavaa, että ainoa kohde, johon kaveri lähti, oli aina hänen ruumiinsa ottamisen jälkeen? Hän tuli takaisin, tai joku tuli takaisin, kun kaikki näyttäjät olivat menossa?

We have no proof that the person who came back was the person who went out. Then again, the man who took the room spoke English well. This other, however, prints match when it should have been matches. I can imagine that the word was taken out of a dictionary, which would give the noun but not the plural. The laconic style may be to conceal the absence of knowledge of English. Yes, Watson, there are good reasons to suspect that there has been a substitution of lodgers.

mutta millä mahdollisella loppuun? Täällä on meidän ongelmamme. Siinä on yksi melko selkeä käsitellys. Hän otti loppuun, jossa päivittäin hän kirjoittaa london kirjoitukset.

Dear me, said he turning over the pages. What a chorus of groans, cries and bleatings. What a ragbag of singular happenings. But surely the most valuable hunting ground that ever was given to a student of the unusual. This person is alone and cannot be approached by letter without a breach of that absolute secrecy which is desired.

How is any news or any message to reach him from without? Obviously by advertisement through a newspaper. There seems no other way and fortunately we need concern ourselves with the one paper only. Here are the daily gazette extracts of the last fortnight. Lady with a black boa at Prince's skating club. That we may pass. Surely Jimmy will not break his mother's heart. That appears to be irrelevant.

If the lady who fainted on Brixton bus, she does not interest me. Every day my heart longs. Bleat, Watson, unmitigated bleat. Ah, this is a little more possible. Listen to this. Be patient. We'll find some sure means of communications. Meanwhile, this column. G. That is two days after Mrs. Warren's lodger arrived.

It sounds plausible, does it not? The mysterious one could understand English even if he could not print it. Let us see if we can pick up the trace again. Yes, here we are, three days later. I'm making successful arrangements. Patience and prudence. The clouds will pass. G. Nothing for a week after that. Then comes something much more definite.

The path is clearing. If I find chance signal message, remember code agreed. 1A, 2B and so on. You will hear soon. G. That was in yesterday's paper and there is nothing in today's. It's all very appropriate to Mrs. Warren's lodger. If we wait a little, Watson, I don't doubt that the affair will grow more intelligible. So it proved.

For in the morning I found my friend standing on the hearth rug with his back to the fire and a smile of complete satisfaction upon his face. ''How's this, Watson?'' he cried, picking up the paper from the table. ''High red house with white stone facings. Third floor. Second window left. After dusk. G.'' ''That is definite enough.''

I think after breakfast we must make a little reconnaissance of Mrs. Warren's neighborhood. Ah, Mrs. Warren. What news do you bring us this morning? Our client had suddenly burst into the room with an explosive energy, which told of some new and momentous development. It's a police matter, Mr. Holmes, she cried. I'll have no more of it. He shall pack out of there with his baggage.

I would have gone straight up and told him so. Only I thought it was but fair to you to take your opinion first. But I'm at the end of my patience and when it comes to knocking my old man about... Knocking Mr. Warren about... Using him roughly anyway. But who used him roughly?

Ah, that's what we want to know. It was this morning, sir. Mr. Warren is a timekeeper at Morton and Waylights in Tottenham Court Road. He has to be out of the house before seven. Well, this morning he had not gone ten paces down the road when two men came up behind him, threw a coat over his head and bundled him into a cab that was beside the curb. They drove him an hour and then opened the door and shot him out.

He lay in the roadway so shaken in his wits that he never saw what became of the cab. When he picked himself up, he found he was on Hampstead Heath. So he took a bus home, and there he lies now on his sofa, while I came straight round to tell you what had happened. Most interesting, said Holmes. Did he observe the appearance of these men? Did he hear them talk?

Ei, hän on luonnollinen. Hän vain tietää, että hän oli laitettu ja jätetty maailmalla. Kaksi oli ainakin siinä ja ehkä kolme. Ja sinä liittyisit tämän hakemuksen lodgeriin? Olemme eläneet siellä 15 vuotta, eikä sellaista tapahtunut koskaan. Minulla on tarpeeksi häntä, rahaa ei ole kaikkea. Hänet jätetään ulos, ennen kuin päivä on loppunut.

Päätä vähän, missä Warren. Älä tee mitään raskasta. Aloin miettiä, että tämä asia voisi olla paljon tärkeämpää kuin näkyi ensimmäisenä. Nyt on selvää, että jotain vaarallista vaikuttaa sinun loppuun. Se on myös selvää, että hänen ennemmät, jotka olivat odottamassa häntä kohti sinun koukkuun, välttivät häntä häntä huonon päivänä. He löysivät häntä, kun he löysivät häntä. Mitä he olisivat tehneet, olisiko se ei ollut väärä? Me voimme vain miettiä sinua.

Well, what am I to do, Mr. Holmes? I have a great fancy to see this lodger of yours, Mrs. Warren. I don't see how that is to be managed unless you break in the door. I always hear him unlock it as I go down the stair after I leave the tray. He has to take the tray in. Surely we could conceal ourselves and see him do it.

The landlady thought for a moment. Well, sir, there's the box room opposite. I could arrange a looking glass, maybe. And if you were behind the door... Excellent, said Holmes. When does he lunch? About one, sir. Then Dr. Watson and I will come round in time.

For the present, Mrs. Warren, goodbye. At half past twelve we found ourselves upon the steps of Mrs. Warren's house, a high, thin, yellow brick edifice in Great Orme Street, a narrow thoroughfare at the northeast side of the British Museum. Standing as it does near the corner of the street, it commands a view down Howe Street with its more pretentious houses.

Holmes katsoi näistä yhdessä. Yhdysvallat, joita he näkivät, etteivät he pystyneet katselemaan. Katso Watson, sanoi hän. Rauhassa rauhassa, rauhassa. Täällä on signaalistationa. Tiedämme paikkaa ja tiedämme kodin. Joten todennäköisesti tehtävämme pitäisi olla yksinkertainen. Tuulet-kartta on tuulet-kartassa.

It is evidently an empty flat to which the Confederate has access. Well, Mrs. Warren, what now? I have it all ready for you. If you will both come up and leave your boots below on the landing, I'll put you there now. It was an excellent hiding place which she had arranged. The mirror was so placed that seated in the dark, we could very plainly see the door opposite.
