No, gentlemen, itwassomethingelse… I don´t want to have a lot ofbad publicity aboutmurder in my theatre. Keepyour nose outofit. Let the police handle it! I´m beginning to dislikeyou, Mr. Small. And itwillmakethingseasierforme!
SergeantFlahertywaspuzzled… But his respectforHolmescausedhim to obeythefamousdetective … Youmustknowwhatyou are doing, sir, but I don´t. Hardly to beexpected, sergeant! I am not reallysuretoo.
