"'I don't know whether you're playing a game with us, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,' said he.
"'If you know anything, you can surely say it without all this tomfoolery.

"'You may possibly remember that you chafed me a little some hours ago when the sun seemed on your side of the hedge.'
So you must not grudge me a little pomp and ceremony now.
Might I ask you, Watson, to open that window, and then to put a match to the edge of the straw?'
I did so, and driven by the draught, a coil of grey smoke swirled down the corridor, while the dry straw crackled and flamed.
"'Now we must see if we can find this witness for you, Lestrade.'
