house�察�and that my time may be more profitably employed elsewhere。 Au 

revoir and good luck� ─�

     I could tell by numerous subtle signs�察�which might have been lost upon 

anyone but myself�察�that Holmes was on a hot scent。 As impassive as ever 

to the casual observer�察�there were none the less a subdued eagerness and 

suggestion   of   tension   in   his   brightened   eyes   and   brisker   manner   which 

assured me that the game was afoot。 After his habit he said nothing�察�and 

after mine I asked no questions。 Sufficient for me to share the sport and 

lend   my  humble   help   to   the   capture  without   distracting   that   intent   brain 

with needless interruption。 All would come round to me in due time。 

     I waited�察�thereforebut to my ever´deepening disappointment I waited 

in   vain。   Day   succeeded   day�察  �and   my   friend   took   no   step   forward。   One 

morning he spent in town�察�and I learned from a casual reference that he 

had visited the British Museum。 Save for this one excursion�察�he spent his 

days   in   long   and   often   solitary   walks�察  �or   in   chatting   with   a   number   of 

village gossips whose acquaintance he had cultivated。 

     ;I'm sure�察�Watson�察�a week in the country will be invaluable to you�察─�he 

remarked。 ;It is very pleasant to see the first green shoots upon the hedges

and the catkins on the hazels once again。 With a spud�察�a tin box�察�and an 

elementary   book   on   botany�察  �there   are   instructive   days   to   be   spent。;   He 

prowled   about   with   this   equipment   himself�察  �but   it   was   a   poor   show   of 

plants which he would bring back of an evening。 

     Occasionally in our rambles we came across Inspector Baynes。 His fat�察�

red face wreathed itself in smiles and his small eyes glittered as he greeted 

my     companion。      He   said   little  about  the   case�察 �but   from   that   little  we 

gathered that he also was not dissatisfied at the course of events。 I must 

admit�察�however�察�that I was somewhat surprised when�察�some five days after 

the crime�察�I opened my morning paper to find in large letters�此�

     THE       OXSHOTT           MYSTERY           A    SOLUTION           ARREST         OF 

SUPPOSED ASSASSIN 

     Holmes   sprang   in   his   chair   as   if   he   had   been   stung   when   I   read   the 

headlines。 

     ;By Jove� ─�he cried。 ;You don't mean that Baynes has got him�拭─�

     ;Apparently�察─�said I as I read the following report�此�

     ;Great excitement was caused in   Esher and the neighbouring district 

when   it   was   learned   late   last   night   that   an   arrest   had   been   effected   in 

connection      with   the   Oxshott    murder。     It  will  be  remembered       that   Mr。 

Garcia�察�of Wisteria Lodge�察�was found dead on Oxshott Common�察�his body 

showing signs of extreme violence�察�and that on the same night his servant 

and his cook fled�察�which appeared to show their participation in the crime。 

It was suggested�察�but never proved�察�that the deceased gentleman may have 

had valuables in the house�察�and that their abstraction was the motive of the 

crime。 Every effort was made by  Inspector Baynes�察�who has the case in 

hand�察�to ascertain the hiding place of the fugitives�察�and he had good reason 

to   believe   that   they   had   not   gone   far   but   were   lurking   in   some   retreat 

which had been already prepared。 It was certain from the first�察�however�察�

that they would eventually be detected�察�as the cook�察�from the evidence of 

one   or two   tradespeople   who have   caught   a   glimpse   of him  through   the 

window�察  �was   a   man   of   most   remarkable   appearancebeing   a   huge   and 

hideous   mulatto�察  �with   yellowish   features   of   a   pronounced   negroid   type。 

This man has been seen since the crime�察�for he was detected and pursued 

by Constable Walters on the same evening�察�when he had the audacity to

revisit   Wisteria   Lodge。   Inspector   Baynes�察  �considering   that   such   a   visit 

must have some purpose in view and was likely�察�therefore�察�to be repeated�察�

abandoned   the   house   but   left   an   ambuscade   in   the   shrubbery。   The   man 

walked into the trap and was captured last night after a struggle in which 

Constable   Downing   was   badly  bitten   by  the savage。 We   understand   that 

when the prison is brought before the magistrates a remand will be applied 

for by the police�察�and that great developments are hoped from his capture。; 

     ;Really we must see Baynes at once�察─�cried Holmes�察�picking up his hat。 

;We   will   just   catch   him   before   he   starts。;   We   hurried   down   the   village 

street and found�察�as we had expected�察�that the inspector was just leaving 

his lodgings。 

     ;You've seen the paper�察�Mr。 Holmes�拭─�he asked�察�holding one out to us。 

     ;Yes�察�Baynes�察�I've seen it。 Pray don't think it a liberty if I give you a 

word of friendly warning。; 

     ;Of warning�察�Mr。 Holmes�拭─�

     ;I have looked into this case with some care�察�and I am not convinced 

that you are on the right lines。 I don't want you to commit yourself too far 

unless you are sure。; 

     ;You're very kind�察�Mr。 Holmes。; 

     ;I assure you I speak for your good。; 

     It   seemed   to   me   that   something   like   a   wink   quivered   for   an   instant 

over one of Mr。 Baynes's tiny eyes。 

     ;We agreed to work on our own lines�察�Mr。 Holmes。 That's what I am 

doing。; 

     ;Oh�察�very good�察─�said Holmes。 ;Don't blame me。; 

     ;No�察  �sir�察  �I   believe   you   mean   well   by   me。   But   we   all   have   our   own 

systems�察�Mr。 Holmes。 You have yours�察�and maybe I have mine。; 

     ;Let us say no more about it。; 

     ;You're welcome always to my news。 This fellow is a perfect savage�察�

as strong as a cart´horse and as fierce as the devil。 He chewed Downing's 

thumb nearly off before they could master him。 He hardly speaks a word 

of English�察�and we can get nothing out of him but grunts。; 

     ;And you think you have evidence that he murdered his late master�拭─�

     ;I didn't say so�察�Mr。 Holmes�察�I didn't say so。 We all have our little ways。 



                                            20

You try yours and I will try mine。 That's the agreement。; 

     Holmes shrugged his shoulders as we walked away together。 ;I can't 

make the man out。 He seems to be riding for a fall。 Well�察�as he says�察�we 

must     each   try   our   own    way    and   see   what    comes     of  it。  But   there's 

something in Inspector Baynes which I can't quite understand。; 

     ;Just sit down in that chair�察�Watson�察─�said Sherlock Holmes when we 

had returned to our apartment at the Bull。 ;I want to put you in touch with 

the   situation�察  �as   I   may   need   your   help   to´night。   Let   me   show   you   the 

evolution of this case so far as I have been able to follow it。 Simple as it 

has been in its leading features�察�it has none the less presented surprising 

difficulties in the way of an arrest。 There are gaps in that direction which 

we have still to fill。 

     ;We will go back to the note which was handed in to Garcia upon the 

evening of his death。 We may put aside this idea of Baynes's that Garcia's 

servants were concerned in the matter。 The proof of this lies in the fact that 

it was HE who had arranged for the presence of Scott Eccles�察�which could 

only have been done for the purpose of an alibi。 It was Garcia�察�then�察�who 

had an enterprise�察�and apparently a criminal enterprise�察�in hand that night 

in the course   of   which he   met   his death。   I say  'criminal'   because only  a 

man with a criminal enterprise desires to establish an alibi。 Who�察�then�察�is 

most   likely   to   have   taken   his   life�拭  �Surely   the   person   against   whom   the 

criminal enterprise was directed。 So far it seems to me that we are on safe 

ground。 

     ;We can now see a reason for the disappearance of Garcia's household。 

They were ALL confederates in the same unknown crime。 If it came off 

when Garcia returned�察�any possible suspicion would be warded off by the 

Englishman's   evidence�察  �and   all   would   be   well。   But   the   attempt   was   a 

dangerous   one�察  �and   if   Garcia   did   NOT   return   by   a   certain   hour   it   was 

probable   that     his  own    life  had   been   sacrificed。    It  had   been   arranged�察�

therefore�察�that in such a case his two subordinates were to make for some 

prearranged       spot   where    they   could    escape    investigation     and   be   in  a 

position   afterwards   to   renew   their   attempt。 That   would   fully  explain   the 

facts�察�would it not�拭─�

     The   whole inexplicable   tangle seemed   to straighten out   before   me。   I 



                                              21

wondered�察�as I always did�察�how it had not been obvious to me before。 

     ;But why should one servant return�拭─�

     ;We   can   imagine   that   in   the   confusion   of   flight   something   precious�察�

something which he could not bear to part with�察�had been left behind。 That 

would explain his persistence�察�would it not�拭─�

     ;Well�察�what is the next step�拭─�

     ;The next step is the note received by Garcia at the dinner。 It indicates 

a   confederate   at   the   other   end。   Now�察  �where   was   the   other   end�拭  �I   have 

already shown you that it could only lie in some large house�察�and that the 

number   of   large   houses   is   limited。   My   first   days   in   this   vil
