Sherlock Holmes

After that, it was but a case of arranging for someone to ride daily in your late sister's carriage, wearing her clothes and keeping up the appearance that she was still alive and well.

Who could that have been?

Mr. Norlett, I imagine you disclaim all responsibility in this as well.

I'd like to know what you think.

That will do, Norlett.

You're quite right, Mr. Holmes.

He impersonated my sister and rode each day beside his wife here.

Deceiving everyone except an unhappy dog who wondered where his mistress had got to.

And you, it seems.

It is my business not to be deceived.

It was my duty to bring the pets to light and bear unsleeving.

As to the morality or decency of your own conduct, it is not for me to express any opinion.

Oh, there you are, Watson.

I thought I heard you go out a few minutes ago.

I did.

By a newspaper.

But our papers won't be delivered before long, won't they?

I know, Holmes, but I wanted one before.

Really, Watson, you've been uncommonly excited all afternoon.

Please let me into your secret.
