The body lying on its back before us was
unquestionably that of the man who had attempted to kill Holmes and I with
explosives, at Glenbury Gardens. He wore the same adark clothing, although his
hat was gone, and the hare lip was a livid scar on his pallid face. Strangely,
it crossed my mind that what could be seen of his expression in death was
softer than that he had worn in life. ***********************************************************************
Sherlock
Holmes is not particularly surprised when Mrs Foulkes seeks his help to escape
her impending murder, for he has had clients in that situation before. But when
she explains that she has arranged
her own death, the case takes on the unusual features that attract the Great
Detective instantly.
