Yet the scene in the dining room of the Abbey Grange was sufficiently strange to arrest his attention and to recall his waning interest. YET THE SCENE IN THE DINING ROOM OF THE ABBEY GRANGE WAS SUFFICIENTLY STRANGE TO ARREST HIS ATTENTION AND TO RECALL HIS WANING INTEREST
 Abbey Grange hasn't learned new ways. You've questioned her long enough, you gentlemen, and now she is coming to her own room, just with her old Theresa, to get the rest that she badly needs.' With a motherly tenderness the gaunt woman put her arm round her mistress and led her from the room. 'She had been with her all her life,' said Hopkins. 'Nursed her as a baby, and came with her to England when they first left Australia, eighteen months ago. Theresa Wright is her name, and the kind of maid you don't pick up nowadays. This way, Mr. Holmes, if you please!' The keen interest had passed out of Holmes's expressive face, and I knew that with the mystery all the charm of the case had departed. There still remained an arrest to be effected, but what were these commonplace rogues that he should soil his hands with them? An abstruse and learned specialist who finds that he has been called in for a case of measles would experience something of the annoyance which I read in my friend's eyes. AIDE AND LADY BRACKENSAW OF ABBEY GRANGE HAS NOT LEARNED NEW WAYS YOU'VE QUESTIONED HER LONG ENOUGH YOU GENTLEMEN AND NOW SHE'S COME INTO HER OWN ROOM JUST WITH HER OLD TERESA TO GET THE REST THAT SHE BADLY NEEDS WITH A MOTHERLY TENDERNESS THE GAUNT WOMAN PUT HER ARM ROUND HER MISTRESS AND LED HER FROM THE ROOM SHE'D BEEN WITH HER ALL HER LIFE SAID HOPKINS NURSED HER AS A BABY AND CAME WITH HER TO ENGLAND WHEN THEY FIRST LEFT AUSTRALIA EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO THERESA WRIGHT IS HER NAME AND THE KIND OF MAID YOU DON'T PICK UP NOWADAYS THIS WAY MISTER HOLMES IF YOU PLEASE THE KEEN INTEREST HAD PASSED OUT OF HOLMES'S EXPRESSIVE FACE AND I KNEW THAT WITH THE MYSTERY ALL THE CHARM OF THE CASE HAD DEPARTED THERE STILL REMAINED AN ARREST TO BE EFFECTED BUT WHAT WERE THESE COMMONPLACE ROGUES THAT HE SHOULD SOIL HIS HANDS WITH THEM AN ABSTRUSE AND LEARNED SPECIALIST WHO FINDS THAT HE HAS BEEN CALLED IN FOR A CASE OF MEASLES WOULD EXPERIENCE SOMETHING OF THE ANNOYANCE WHICH I READ IN MY FRIEND'S EYES
