He flicked the horse with his whip and we dashed away through the endless succession of somber and deserted streets which widened gradually until we were flying across a broad bolted bridge with the murky river flowing sluggishly beneath us. Beyond lay another dull wilderness of bricks and mortar. Its silence only broken by the heavy irregular footfall of the policeman or the songs and the shouts of some belated party of reveal. A dull rack was slowly drifting across the sky and a star or two twinkled dimly here and there through the rifts of the clouds. Holmes drove in silence with his head sunk upon his breast and the air of a man who was lost in thought while I sat beside him, curious to learn what this new quest might be, which seemed to tax his powers so solely and yet afraid to break in upon the current of his thoughts. We had driven several miles and were beginning to get the fringe of the belt of suburban villas when he shook himself, shrugged his shoulders and lit up his pipe with the air of a man who has satisfied himself that he's acting for the best you have a grand gift of silence. Watson. It makes you quiet and valuable as a companion upon my word. It's a great thing for me to have someone to talk to, for my own thoughts or not over pleasant. I was wondering what I should say to this dear little woman tonight. When she meets me at the door, you forget that I know nothing about it. I shall just have time to tell you the facts of the case before we get to Lee. It seems absurdly simple and yet somehow I can get nothing to go upon. There's plenty of thread, no doubt, but yet I can't get the end of it into my hand. Now I'll state the case clearly and concisely to you Watson and maybe you can see a spark where all is dark to me. Proceed then some years ago to be definite in May 18 84 they came to lead a gentleman Neville Sinclair by name who appeared to have plenty of money. He took a large villa laid out the grounds very nicely and lived gently in good style by degrees. He made friends in the neighborhood and in 18 87 he married the daughter of a local brewer, by whom he now has two Children. He had no occupation but was interested in several companies and went into town as a rule in the morning returning by the 5 14 from Cannon Street every night, Mr Sinclair. Now who is 37 years of age, is a man of temperate habits. A good husband, a very affectionate man and a man who is popular with all who know him. A man that is hold ups at the present moment as far as they've been able to a certain amount to be €88. Well, he has 2 €20 standing to his credit in his capital and country's bank. There is no reason therefore to think that money troubles have been weighing upon his mind.
