You have gone pretty deeply into my affairs, Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson.
I should not have found you where I did.
So you know in all probability that I'm running a dark horse for the army.
But everything depends on my success.
If I win, all is easy.
If I lose, well, I dare not think of that.
I understand the position.
I am dependent upon my sister, Lady Beatrice, for everything.
But if I'm not mistaken, her interest in the estate is for her life only.
You know that too, then.
Well, it is so.
For my own part, I'm deeply in the hands of the moneylenders.
I've always known that if my sister were to die, my creditors would be on to my estate like a flock of vultures.
Everything would be seized.
My stables, my horses, everything.
Well, Mr. Holmes, my sister did die a week ago.
And you told no one?
No, Dr. Watson, I told no one.
If one word had got out, absolute ruin would have descended upon me within a matter of hours.
