'Answer
my
question!'
shouted Dr Roylott angrily.
'What
has my stepdaughter been saying to you? I've heard about
you,
Holmes. You're a busybody. You interfere in other peo-
ple's lives. Well, keep out of
my
life. I'm a dangerous man.
Look!'
A poker was lying beside the fire. It was made of iron and was
very heavy. Dr Roylott stepped forward and picked it up. He bent
the poker with his huge hands. Then he threw it back into the
fireplace.
'I'm
warning you, Holmes. Keep out of my
life!'
he said again.
Then
he
left
the
room.
