I am sure that you will be interested to learn that your
chief has asked me to do anything I can to catch this
killer. 1 am free to give you orders, Lestrade, and you
are free to obey me.'
When Lestrade had gone, Holmes said, 'Now I need
a bath, my dinner and a good sleep. Moriarty wishes
to destroy me. He has already, my dear Watson, tried
three times to kill me! He is a terrible enemy, and I
must get ready for the battle.'
I stared at him in horror, and decided that I would
never leave my friend's side while he was in this
danger.
