"'I'll lay you a fiver,' said I,

that when he has my offer you'll never so much as hear from him again.'

"'Done,' said he.

"'We picked him out of the gutter, and he won't leave us so easily.'

Those were his very words.

"'The impudent scoundrel!'

I cried.

"'I've never so much as seen him in my life.'

"'Why should I consider him in any way?

I shall certainly not write if you would rather I didn't.'

"'Good.

That's a promise,' said he, rising from his chair."

Well, I'm delighted to have got so good a man for my brother.

Here's your advance of £100, and here is the letter.

Make a note of the address, 126 B Corporation Street, and remember that one o'clock tomorrow is your appointment.

Good night, and may you have all the fortune that you deserve.

That's just about all that passed between us, as near as I can remember.

You can imagine, Dr. Watson, how pleased I was at such an extraordinary bit of good fortune.

I sat up half the night, hugging myself over it, and next day I was off to Birmingham in a train that would take me in plenty time for my appointment.

I took my things to a hotel in New Street, and then I made my way to the address which had been given me.
