understand him myself Last night I dreamt and the next day suddenly understood this problem. The time comes when he and others will be free-not an easy escape. About three weeks after that,I was sitting alone at home one evening. My wife was away on a visit. Suddenly, the door opened, and Holmes came in. He then ran to the window, closed it and locked it "Holmes,' I cried. "What has happened? You look terrible!' He looked old and ill, and he was shaking with tiredness. What is it?' I asked. "Are you afraid of something? of someone," he said. "Did you not get my letter? "Yes, but I didn't understand it. What is wrong? Holmes looked at me sadly. "You didn't understand it. ls your wife here?' No, she is away. Do you want to sleep here? I shall make sure that you are in no danger He shook his head. "I cannot rest anywhere. If I sleep, he will win! I cannot stay here. I would bring evil into your house But you can help me, Watson. I must leave the country tomorrow Will you come with me?' "Where are you going, Holmes?' "Going? I am not going anywhere. I am trying to escape from him .But he will find me again. Everywhere I he will follow me, "Who is he, Holmes?' I asked. Professor Moriarty, of course! "But Moriarty is dead,' I said.
