"I don't mind if I do," the detective answered. "The tremendous exertions which I have gone through during the last day or two have worn me out.

I have made the whole thing as clear as day.” A shade of anxiety seemed to me to cross my companion’s expressive face. “Do you mean that you are on the right track?” he asked. “The right track! Why, sir, we have the man under lock and key.” “And his name is?” “Arthur Charpentier, sub-lieutenant in Her Majesty’s navy,” cried Gregson, pompously, rubbing his fat hands and inflating his chest. Sherlock Holmes gave a sigh of relief, and relaxed into a smile. “Take a seat, and try one of these cigars,” he said. “We are anxious to know how you managed it. Will you have some whiskey and water?” A MATTER OF TIME HALLO WE ARE GOING TO HEAR SOME NEWS NOW WITH A VENGEANCE HERE IS GREGSON COMING DOWN THE ROAD WITH BEETITUDE WRITTEN UPON EVERY FEATURE OF HIS FACE BOUND FOR US I KNOW YES HE IS STOPPING THERE HE IS THERE WAS A VIOLENT PEAL AT THE BELL AND IN A FEW SECONDS THE FAIR HAIRED DETECTIVE CAME UP THE STAIRS THREE AT A TIME AND BURST INTO OUR SITTING ROOM MY DEAR FELLOW HE CRIED RINGING HOLMES'S UNRESPONSIVE HAND CONGRATULATE ME I HAVE MADE THE WHOLE THING AS CLEAR AS DAY A SHADE OF ANXIETY SEEMED TO ME TO CROSS MY COMPANION'S EXPRESSIVE FACE DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK HE ASKED THE RIGHT TRACK WHY SIR WE HAVE THE MAN UNDER LOCK AND KEY AND HIS NAME IS ARTHUR CHAPENTIER SUB LIEUTENANT IN HER MAJESTY'S NAVY CRIED GREGGSAM POMPOUSLY RUBBING HIS FAT HANDS AND INFLATING HIS CHEST SHERLOCK HOLMES GAVE A SIGH OF RELIEF AND RELAXED INTO A SMILE TAKE A SEAT AND TRY ONE OF THESE CIGARS HE SAID WE ARE ANXIOUS TO KNOW HOW YOU MANAGED IT WILL YOU HAVE SOME WHISKY AND WATER
