the window-sill was, of course, the starting-point of my
research.  It was unlike anything in the vicarage garden.  Only
when my attention had been drawn to Dr.  Sterndale and his cottage
did I find its counterpart.  The lamp shining in broad daylight
and the remains of powder upon the shield were successive links
in a fairly obvious chain.  And now, my dear Watson, I think we
may dismiss the matter from our mind and go back with a clear
conscience to the study of those Chaldean roots which are surely
to be traced in the Cornish branch of the great Celtic speech."
