Late years, business has been bad.
I used to be able to keep two assistants, but now I only have one.
And I don't have a job to pay him, except he's willing to come for half wages, so as to learn the business.
A blighting youth?
What's his name?
Vincent Spalding.
And I couldn't want a smarter assistant, Mr. Holmes.
I know he could easily earn twice what I'm able to give him.
As I say, if he's satisfied, who am I to be putting ideas into his head?
Oh, yes.
Only one fault, Mr. Holmes.
Photography.
Photography?
Yes.
Snapping away with his camera and then diving down into the cellar like a rabbit into its hole to develop his pictures.
He is still with you, I suppose?
Oh, yes, sir.
And an observant young fellow he is.
He was the one who brought this advertisement to my notice.
It was just this day, eight weeks, when he rapped on my office door with this very paper in his hand.
