all looked eagerly for them. But no slightest sign of them ever met our
eyes. If the earth told a true story, then Stapleton never reached that

“It is a formidable difculty, and I fear that you ask too much when
you expect me to solve it. The past and the present are within the eld
of my inquiry, but what a man may do in the future is a hard question
to answer. Mrs Stapleton has heard her husband discuss the problem
on several occasions. There were three possible courses. He might
claim the property from South America, establish his identity before
the British authorities there and so ob tain the fortune without ever
coming to England at all, or he might adopt an elaborate disguise dur
ing the short time that he needed be in London; or, again, he might
furnish an accomplice with the proofs and papers, putting him in as
heir, and retaining a claim upon some proportion of his income. We
cannot doubt from what we know of him that he would have found
some way out of the difculty. And now, my dear Watson, we have
had some weeks of severe work, and for one evening, I think, we may
turn our thoughts into more pleasant channels. I have a box for ‘Les
Huguenots.’ Have you heard the De Reszkes? Might I trouble you then
to be ready in half an hour, and we can stop at Marcini’s for a little
dinner on the way?”
