〃I think a year at sea would be my prescription for Master Jacky；〃
said Holmes； rising from his chair。 〃Only one thing is still
clouded； madame。 We can quite understand your attacks upon Master
Jacky。 There is a limit to a mother's patience。 But how did you dare
to leave the child these last two days？〃
〃I had told Mrs。 Mason。 She knew。〃
〃Exactly。 So I imagined。〃
Ferguson was standing by the bed； choking； his hands outstretched
and quivering。
〃This； I fancy； is the time for our exit； Watson；〃 said Holmes in
a whisper。 〃If you will take one elbow of the too faithful Dolores；
I will take the other。 There； now；〃 he added as he closed the door
behind him； 〃I think we may leave them to settle the rest among
themselves。〃
I have only one further note of this case。 It is the letter which
Holmes wrote in final answer to that with which the narrative
begins。 It ran thus：
BAKER STREET；
Nov。 21st。
Re Vampires
SIR：
Referring to your letter of the 19th； I beg to state that I have
looked into the inquiry of your client； Mr。 Robert Ferguson； of
Ferguson and Muirhead； tea brokers； of Mincing Lane； and that the
matter has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion。 With thanks
for your recommendation； I am； sir；
Faithfully yours；
SHERLOCK HOLMES。
…THE END…
