He was sitting on his bed, in shirt and trousers, absently smoothing down his thick black hair with his brushes, when Bill shouted an "Hallo!" through the door, and came in. Antony stopped smoothing himself and looked up at him thoughtfully. "You mean Cayley. " Antony corrected himself with a little laugh.

" "Yes, I mean Cayley. "I say, I shan't be a moment, Bill." He got up from the bed and went on briskly with his dressing.



"I did, Bill," said Antony apologetically. ""I never had a theory. Cayley's theory was knocked on the head. ""It's going to be exciting enough," said Antony mildly, as he transferred his pipe and tobacco into the pocket of his black coat. "

"Keys?" said Cayley blankly. "Oh! oh, yes!" He looked slowly round the hall, at the different doors, and then smiled in a friendly way at Antony. Antony looked inquiringly at him, wondering who Elsie was. "One of the housemaids," explained Cayley.

Cayley told them of what Elsie had heard through the office door that afternoon. "You were in the library then, of course," said Antony, rather to himself than to the other. " What's the good of talking as if Mark was a murderer?" Dinner was announced at that moment, and as they went in, he added, "What's the good of talking about it at all, if it comes to that?" "What, indeed?" said Antony, and to Bill's great disappointment they talked of books and politics during the meal. Cayley made an excuse for leaving them as soon as their cigars were alight.

He had business to attend to, as was natural. Bill would look after his friend. He offered to beat Antony at billiards, to play him at piquet, to show him the garden by moonlight, or indeed to do anything else with him that he required. "Let's go outside," suggested Antony.

"They came out of the front door and followed the drive to the left. " Coming from Waldheim, Antony had approached the house that afternoon from the other side. "Sure we haven't missed it?" said Antony.

They finished their circuit of the green "Just in case anybody's in the ditch,"

"Antony smoked thoughtfully for a little. " "Are you prepared to be the complete Watson?" he asked.

Also whom do you suspect?"

"Poor old Watson had been up and down them a thousand times, but he had never thought of counting them, whereas Holmes had counted them as a matter of course, and knew that there were seventeen. " Watson was crushed again, and Holmes appeared to him more amazing than ever. Now, it always seemed to me that in that matter Holmes was the ass, and Watson the sensible person. "Right," said Antony.

Eleven I'm inside. "Eleven," he said. ""Well, I can't explain it, whether it's something in the actual eye, or something in the brain, or what, but I have got rather an uncanny habit of recording things unconsciously. It means a devil of a lot of concentration for the ordinary person, if he wants to get his list complete, but in some odd way I manage to do it without concentration at all.

"How?"

"Key of the office?" he said vaguely. Cayley's got it.

"Then how do you know?"

""You're the perfect Watson, Bill. " I know that when I came on him this afternoon, he had just locked the door and put the key in his pocket.".

"Outside the billiard-room door. "Obviously Cayley.

"Who put it there?"

""Let's go back to this afternoon. Probably when I saw Cayley banging at the door I may have wondered subconsciously whether the key of the room next to it would fit. When Cayley came up, I told you my idea and you were both interested. But Cayley was just a shade too interested.

""Simply that Robert Ablett died in the office this afternoon, and that Cayley knows exactly how he died.

Mark goes in to see his brother, and they quarrel and all the rest of it, just as Cayley was saying. Cayley hears the shot, and in order to give Mark time to get away, locks the door, puts the key in his pocket and pretends that Mark has locked the door, and that he can't get in.

"Yes, my simple explanation is a wash-out," he said. Antony did not answer him
