This is especially important when you consider the formation of the bow of the House-boat, which is rounded like the stern of most vessels, and comes near to making a pair of ripples at an angle of ninety degrees.” EEMS TO ME THAT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS VERY MUCH IN NEED OF IT PROVES THEN THAT THE BUBBLE IS A PORTION OF THE WAKEM'S STYGIAN CRAFT AND THE ONLY STYGIAN CROFT THAT HAS CLEARED THE SCENARIAN HOPPER FOR YEARS IS THE HOUSE BOAT U E D WE CAN GO BACK UNTIL WE FIND THE RIPPLE AGAIN AND FOLLOW THAT I PRESUME SNEERED LECOPE WHO DID NOT TAKE MUCH STOCK IN THE THEORIES OF HIS GREAT RIVAL LARGELY BECAUSE HE WAS DETECTED BY INTUITION RATHER THAN BY STUDY OF THE SCIENCE YOU CAN'T BE WONT TO BUT IT IS BETTER NOT TO REJOINED HOLMES SIMPLY AS THOUGH NOT OBSERVING THE SNEER BECAUSE THE RIPPLE REPRESENTS THE OUTER LINE OF THE ANGLE OF DISTURBANCE IN THE WATER AND AS ANY ONE OF THE SIZE TO AN ANGLE IS GREATER THAN THE PERPENDICULAR FROM THE HYPOTHENUSE TO THE APEX YOU BE MERELY GOING THE LONG WAY THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FORMATION OF THE BOW OF THE HOUSEBOAT WHICH IS ROUNDED LIKE THE STERN OF MOST VESSELS AND COMES NEAR TO MAKING A PAIR OF RIPPLES AT AN ANGLE OF NINETY DEGREES
