I was amazed at the calm way in which he rippled on. "Surely there is not a moment to be lost," I cried, "shall I go and order you a cab?" "I'm not sure about whether I shall go. I am the most incurably lazy devil that ever stood in shoe leather—that is, when the fit is on me, for I can be spry enough at times."

bearing the name of ‘Enoch J. Drebber, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.’ There had been no robbery, nor is there any evidence as to how the man met his death. There are marks of blood in the room, but there is no wound upon his person. We are at a loss as to how he came into the empty house; indeed, the whole affair is a puzzler. If you can come round to the house any time before twelve, you will find me there. I have left everything _in statu quo_ until I hear from you. If you are unable to come I shall give you fuller details, and would esteem it a great kindness if you would favour me with your opinion. Yours faithfully, “TOBIAS GREGSON.” “Gregson is the smartest of the Scotland Yarders,” my friend remarked; “he and Lestrade are the pick of a bad lot. They are both quick and energetic, but conventional—shockingly so. They have their knives into one another, too. They are as jealous as a pair of professional beauties. There will be some fun over this case if they are both put upon the scent.” SSED AND HAVING CARDS IN HIS POCKET BEARING THE NAME OF ENOCH J DREBBER CLEVELAND OHIO U S A THERE HAD BEEN NO ROBBERY NOR IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE AS TO HOW THE MAN MET HIS DEATH THERE ARE MARKS OF BLOOD IN THE ROOM BUT THERE IS NO WOUND UPON HIS PERSON WE ARE AT A LOSS AS TO HOW HE CAME INTO THE EMPTY HOUSE INDEED THE WHOLE AFFAIR IS A PUZZLER IF YOU CAN COME ROUND TO THE HOUSE AT ANY TIME BEFORE TWELVE YOU WILL FIND ME THERE I HAVE LEFT EVERYTHING IN STATUE QUO UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO COME I SHALL GIVE YOU FULLER DETAILS AND WOULD ESTEEM IT A GREAT KINDNESS IF YOU WOULD FAVOUR ME WITH YOUR OPINION YOURS FAITHFULLY TOBIAS GREXEN GREXEN IS THE SMARTEST OF THE SCOTLAND YARDERS MY FRIEND REMARKED HE AND LESTRADE ARE THE PICK OF A BAD LOT THEY ARE BOTH QUICK AND ENERGETIC BUT CONVENTIONAL SHOCKINGLY SO THEY HAVE THEIR KNIVES INTO ONE ANOTHER TOO THEY ARE AS JEALOUS AS A PAIR OF PROFESSIONAL BEAUTIES THERE WILL BE SOME FUN OVER THIS CASE IF THEY ARE BOTH PUT UPON THE SCENT
