HOLMES' SUDDEN SOLUTION
THE CASE OF DEATH IN THE DRAWING ROOM
"Allow me to explain, Inspector," my friend answered. "You hold the murder weapon in your hands, correct?"
"Why, yes," he replied.
"Mr. Warren has not as yet been informed as to the manner of his wife's death, correct?"
"Yes."
"Therefore, he could not have known right away that she had been beaten with the gun and not shot. He is your killer, Lestrade."
"How dare you!" Warren shouted.
"I'm sorry, but Mr. 'Olmes 'as been right on occasion," Lestrade said. "I 'ave no reason to doubt 'im now." And with that, he snapped a pair of handcuffs on George Warren.
"Well, Watson," Holmes said, taking out his pipe and lighting it, "we seem to have cleared up this little matter rather quickly, wouldn't you say?"
