Next morning, we took Helen Stoner away from Stoke
Moran. The poor girl was very upset by what had happened.
We took her to an aunt's house in London. She would stay there
until her wedding.
We also told the police about Dr Roylott's death. Then we
returned to our apartment in Baker Street.
'Tell me something, Holmes,' I said. 'How did you know the
"speckled band" was a snake?'
