Sherlock Holmes Investigates

 

Miss Stonor hurried to meet us with a joyful expression on her face. "I have been waiting so eagerly for you," she cried, shaking hands with us. "Everything has turned out splendidly. Dr. Roylott has gone to town, and I don't think that he will be back before evening."

"We have already met the doctor," said Holmes, and in a few words he described what had occurred. Miss Stoner turned white as she listened.

"Good heavens!" she cried, "he has followed me, then."

"So it seems."

"He is so clever that I never know when I am safe from him. What will he say when he returns?"
