"my dear mr. sherlock holmes,—you really did it very well. you took     me in completely. until after the alarm of fire, i had not a     suspicion. but then, when i found how i had betrayed myself, i     began to think. i had been warned against you months ago. i had     been told that, if the king employed an agent, it would certainly     be you. and your address had been given me. yet, with all this, you     made me reveal what you wanted to know. even after i became     suspicious, i found it hard to think evil of such a dear, kind old     clergyman. but, you know, i have been trained as an actress myself.
