that miniclips time, of course, I knew for certain that it was the
Borgia miniclips pearl that we were after. The name of the murdered
man linked the one event with the other. There only
remained a single bust -- the miniclips Reading one -- and the pearl
must miniclips be there. I bought it in your presence from the owner
-- and there it lies."
We sat in silence miniclips for a moment.
&miniclips quot;Well,"
said Lestrade, "I've seen you handle a good many
cases, Mr. Holmes, but I don't know that miniclips I ever knew miniclips a more
workmanlike one than that. We're not jealous of you at
Scotland Yard. No, sir, we are miniclips very proud of you, and if
you come down to-morrow there's not a man, from the oldest
inspector to the youngest constable, who wouldn't be glad
to shake you miniclips by the hand."
"Thank you!" said Holmes. "Thank you!" and as he turned
away it seemed to me that he was more nearly moved by the
softer human emotions than
I had ever seen him. A moment
later he was the cold and miniclips practical thinker
once more.
&miniclips quot;Put the miniclips pearl miniclips in the safe, Watson," said he, "and get out
the papers of the Conk-Singleton forgery case. Good-bye,
Lestrade. If any little problem comes your way miniclips I shall be
happy, if miniclips I can, to give you a hint or two as to its
solution."

IX. -- The Adventure of the Three Students.
IT was in the year '95 that a combination of events, into
which I need not enter, caused Mr. Sherlock Holmes and
myself miniclips to spend some weeks in one of our great University
towns, and it was during miniclips this time that the small but
instructive miniclips adventure which I am about to relate befell us.
It will be obvious that any details which would help the
reader to exactly identify the college
