I have no doubt that my own ideas were quite wild, but you must admit that they have ended in discovering the silver.' 'Yes, sir  yes. It was all your doing. But I have had a bad setback.'

e the affair far more difficult. What sort of burglars are they who steal silver and then throw it into the nearest pond?' 'It was certainly rather eccentric behaviour. I was merely going on the idea that if the silver had been taken by persons who did not want it--who merely took it for a blind, as it were--then they would naturally be anxious to get rid of it.' 'But why should such an idea cross your mind?' 'Well, I thought it was possible. When they came out through the French window, there was the pond with one tempting little hole in the ice, right in front of their noses. Could there be a better hiding-place?' 'Ah, a hiding-place--that is better!' cried Stanley Hopkins. 'Yes, yes, I see it all now! It was early, there were folk upon the roads, they were afraid of being seen with the silver, so they sank it in the pond, intending to return for it when the coast was clear. Excellent, Mr. Holmes--that is better than your idea of a blind.' 'Quite so, you have got an admirable theory.
