I was certainly feeling very weary, so I obeyed his injunction. I left Holmes seated in front of the smouldering fire, and long into the watches of the night I heard the low, melancholy wailings of his violin, and knew that he was still pondering over the strange problem which he had set himself to unravel. I WAS CERTAINLY FEELING VERY WEARY SO I OBEYED HIS INJUNCTION I LEFT HOME SEATED IN FRONT OF THE SMOULDERING FIRE AND LONG INTO THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT I HEARD THE LOW MELANCHOLY WAILINGS OF HIS VIOLIN AND KNEW THAT HE WAS STILL PONDERING OVER THE STRANGE PROBLEM WHICH HE HAD SET HIMSELF TO UNRAVEL
