'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.' AH 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 IN THE POND INTENDING TO RETURN FOR IT WHEN THE COAST WAS CLEAR EXCELLENT MISTER HOLMES THAT IS BETTER THAN YOUR IDEA OF A BLIND

'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?
