"Then why should the manuscript have any bearing on this matter?"

"Because the allegations are true. Unlike those which were made today against Sherlock Holmes. Were they to come to light any newspaperman who cared to scratch beneath the surface would only find more material for lurid headlines." I passed a hand over my face. "I can't say I was unhappy that Holmes asked me to withhold it from publication for a time once it was finished."

The reply came after a pause. "If you were glad to withhold it, then you will be gladder to be rid of it."

Call Him a Gentleman

"Impossible." The word was pulled out of me before I had a chance to think better of it. And yet, having said it, I felt a burst of relief.

An irrepressible flush of angry heat distorted my vision. "I'll go free in any case, soon or late." I laughed harshly. "You're the one risking disgrace, Professor. I didn't know you had anything to do with any of this until today, but if it weren't for Sherlock Holmes I'd publish the manuscript and be damned. Or have you forgotten that your lackey Merridew has already been identified as the one who tried to have my wife mutilated!"
