re, Captain Crocker, this is a very serious matter, though I am willing to admit that you acted under the most extreme provocation to which any man could be subjected. I am not sure that in defence of your own life your action will not be pronounced legitimate. However, that is for a British jury to decide. Meanwhile I have so much sympathy for you that, if you choose to disappear in the next twenty-four hours, I will promise you that no one will hinder you.' 'And then it will all come out?' 'Certainly it will come out.' The sailor flushed with anger. 'What sort of proposal is that to make a man? I know enough of law to understand that Mary would be held as accomplice. Do you think I would leave her alone to face the music while I slunk away? No, sir, let them do their worst upon me, but for heaven's sake, Mr. Holmes, find some way of keeping my poor Mary out of the courts.' Holmes for a second time held out his hand to the sailor. 'I was only testing you, and you ring true every time.  NOR WILL THEY TO THE BEST OF MY BELIEF NOW LOOK HERE CAPTAIN CROCKER THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER I AM WILLING TO ADMIT THAT YOU ACTED UNDER THE MOST EXTREME PROVOCATION TO WHICH ANY MAN COULD BE SUJECTED I AM NOT SURE THAT IN DEFENCE OF YOUR OWN LIFE YOUR ACTION WILL NOT BE PRONOUNCED LEGITIMATE HOWEVER THAT IS FOR A BRITISH JURY TO DECIDE MEANWHILE I HAVE SO MUCH SYMPATHY FOR YOU THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO DISAPPEAR IN THE NEXT TWENTY FOUR HOURS I WILL PROMISE YOU THAT NO ONE WILL HINDER YOU AND THEN IT WILL COME OUT CERTAIN IT WILL COME OUT THE SAILOR FLUSHED WITH ANGER WHAT SORT PROPOSAL IS THAT TO MAKE A MAN I KNOW ENOUGH OF THE LAW TO UNDERSTAND THAT MARY WOULD BE HELD AS ACCOMPLICE DO YOU THINK I WOULD LEAVE HER ALONE TO FACE THE MUSIC WHILE I SLUNK AWAY NO SIR THEN DO THEIR WORSE UPON ME BUT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE MISTER HOLMES FIND SOME WAY OF KEEPING MY POOR MARY OUT OF COURTS HOLMES FOR A SECOND TIME HELD OUT HIS HAND TO THE SAILOR I WAS ONLY TESTING YOU AND YOU RING TRUE EVERY TIME
