My friend seemed struck by this remark.
"'I don't mean to deny that the evidence is in some ways very strongly in favour of your theory,' said he.
I only wish to point out that there are other theories possible.
As you say, the future will decide.

"'My first movement, Watson,' said he as he bustled into his frock-coat,
must, as I said, be in the direction of Blackheath.
And why not Norwood?
Because we have in this case one singular incident coming close to the heels of another singular incident.
