"Well done!" said Holmes in an encouraging voice. "Really, Gregson, you are getting along. We shall make something of you yet." "I flatter myself that I have managed it rather neatly," the detective answered proudly. "The young man volunteered a statement, in which he said that after following Drebber some time, the latter perceived him, and took a cab in order to get away from him. On his way home he met an old shipmate, and took a long walk with him. On being asked where this old shipmate lived, he was unable to give any satisfactory reply. I think the whole case fits together uncommonly well. WELL DONE SAID HOLMES IN AN ENCOURAGING VOICE REALLY GRIXEN YOU ARE GETTING ALONG WE SHALL MAKE SOMETHING OF YOU YET I FLATTER MYSELF THAT I HAVE MANAGED IT RATHER NEATLY THE DETECTIVE ANSWERED PROUDLY THE YOUNG MAN VOLUNTEERED A STATEMENT IN WHICH HE SAID THAT AFTER FOLLOWING TREBBER SOME TIME THE LATTER PERCEIVED HIM AND TOOK A CAB IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM HIM ON HIS WAY HOME HE MET AN OLD SHIPMATE AND TOOK A LONG WALK WITH HIM ON BEING ASKED WHERE THIS OLD SHIPMATE LIVED HE WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ANY SATISFACTORY REPLY I THINK THE WHOLE CASE FIXED TOGETHER UNCOMMONLY WELL

It was a stout oak cudgel.” “What is your theory, then?” “Well, my theory is that he followed Drebber as far as the Brixton Road. When there, a fresh altercation arose between them, in the course of which Drebber received a blow from the stick, in the pit of the stomach, perhaps, which killed him without leaving any mark. The night was so wet that no one was about, so Charpentier dragged the body of his victim into the empty house. As to the candle, and the blood, and the writing on the wall, and the ring, they may all be so many tricks to throw the police on to the wrong scent.”  WITH ME AND ARRESTED HIM WHEN I TOUCHED HIM ON THE SHOULDER AND WARNED HIM TO COME QUIETLY WITH US HE ANSWERED US AS BOLD AS BRASS I SUPPOSE YOU ARRESTED ME FOR BEING CONCERNED IN THE DEATH OF THAT SCOUNDREL DREBBER HE SAID WE SAID NOTHING TO HIM ABOUT IT SO THAT HIS ALLUDING TO IT HAD A MOST SUSPICIOUS ASPECT VERY SAID HOLMES HE STILL CARRIED THE HEAVY STICK WHICH THE MOTHER DESCRIBED HIM AS HAVING WITH HIM WHEN HE FOLLOWED DREBBER IT WAS A STOUT OAK CUDGEL WHAT IS YOUR THEORY THEN WHAT MY THEORY IS THAT HE FOLLOWED DREBBER AS FAR AS THE BRIXTON ROAD WHEN THERE A FRESH ALTERCATION AROSE BETWEEN THEM IN THE COURSE OF WHICH DREBBER RECEIVED A BLOW FROM THE STICK IN THE PIT OF THE STOMACH PERHAPS WHICH KILLED HIM WITHOUT LEAVING ANY MARK THE NIGHT WAS SO WET THAT NO ONE WAS ABOUT SO CHAMPAGIER DRAGGED THE BODY OF HIS VICTIM INTO THE EMPTY HOUSE AS TO THE CANDLE AND THE BLOOD AND THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND THE RING THEY MAY ALL BE SO MANY TRICKS TO THROW THE POLICE ON TO THE WRONG SCENT
