‘My questions are about the Duchess and about money said Holmes.
‘The Duchess knows nothing about this said the Duke and nobody is asking me for money.’
‘ I see said holmes . ‘Holmes You wrote a letter to your son before he disappeared. When did you post it?’
‘Post it’ said Mr. Wilder angrily. ‘The Duke does not post letters. I put the letter into the postbag, with all the other letters that day.’
A minyte or two later the Duke and Mr. wilder left. Holmes then began at onceto work on the case. We looked carefully all through the boy’s bedroom, and the German teacher’s room. We looked at the ivy on the well, and we saw the footprints under the German teacher’s window. But we learnt nothing new. Holmes then left the house, and only came back after eleven o’clock.
He had with him a large map. He brought it into my room and put it on the bed
‘this case is beginning to get interesting , Watson,’ he said. ‘Look at this map. Here is the school, you see, and here in the road. So,did the doy and the teacher go along the road when they left? No,Watson, they did not!’
‘How do you know that , Holmes?’ I asked.
‘Because there was apilceman here – look . He was there from midnight to six in the morning, and he saw nobody on the road. I spoke to him this evening. And here at the other end you see is the white horse inn A woman there was ill and the family watched the road all night waiting for the doctor the doctor didn’t come until the morning and the family saw nobody on the road so theboy and the teacher did not go by road .’
‘But ,holms ,what about the bicycle?’ I asked.
‘yes Watson we must rememder the bicycle, of course but first let’s look to the south and the north. To the south we here a big river - no bicycle there, then. And to the north we have the trees called Ragged Shaw , and then a great moor the Lower Gill Moor . And here is Holddernesse Hall sixteen kilometres from the school by road but only nine kilometres across the moor No other houses until the Green man inn along the chesterfield road.’
‘but the bicycle?’ I said again.
‘yes ,yes ,Watson Holmessaid. ‘it is possible to ride a bicycle across the moor – difficult but possible
Just then Dr. Huxtable came quickly into the room news, mr. Holmes he said excitedly I bring news’ in his hands was a blue school hat ‘look- this is the boy’s hat . one of my gardeners found it this evening .’
‘where,man, where?’ asked holmes.
Just north of ragged shew,’ said dr. Huxtable.
‘aha’ said holmes ‘what did I tell you Watson? Tomorrow we must walk north, across the moor
