Part 4

Just then Fill in the blank 1 of 11 taxi arrived. One of Fill in the blank 2 of 11 men in Fill in the blank 3 of 11 street ran to open Fill in the blank 4 of 11 door, then another man pushed him. Fill in the blank 5 of 11 other men were also pushing and shouting, and Fill in the blank 6 of 11 fight began. Irene Norton was in Fill in the blank 7 of 11 middle of it, but Sherlock Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to Fill in the blank 8 of 11 ground, with Fill in the blank 9 of 11 blood running down his face. Irene Norton hurried to her front door, but she looked back.
‘How kind of him to help me! Is Fill in the blank 10 of 11 poor man hurt?’ she called.
‘He’s dead,’ cried some voices.
‘No, he’s only hurt,’ cried others.
‘Bring him into Fill in the blank 11 of 11 sitting-room,’ she said.

Fill in the blank 1 of 11 Some people carried Holmes into Fill in the blank 2 of 11 house. I waited outside Fill in the blank 3 of 11 window and watched. I saw how beautiful Irene Norton was. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw Fill in the blank 4 of 11 smoke-stick into Fill in the blank 5 of 11 room. Immediately Fill in the blank 6 of 11 people in Fill in the blank 7 of 11 street and in Fill in the blank 8 of 11 house all began to shout “Fire!” very loudly. Fill in the blank 9 of 11 house was full of Fill in the blank 10 of 11 smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me.
‘Well done, Watson,’ he said.
‘Have you got Fill in the blank 11 of 11 photograph?’ I asked.
‘I know where it is. She showed me,’ he answered.
‘But why did she show you?’

‘It’s easy,’ he said, and laughed. ‘You saw all those people in Fill in the blank 1 of 15 street? I paid them to help us. It wasn’t Fill in the blank 2 of 15 real fight and Fill in the blank 3 of 15 blood wasn’t real. When people shout “Fire!”, Fill in the blank 4 of 15 woman runs to Fill in the blank 5 of 15 most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or… Fill in the blank 6 of 15 photograph. Mrs Norton ran to find her photograph, which is in Fill in the blank 7 of 15 cupboard in Fill in the blank 8 of 15 sitting-room. I saw it. But I did not take it. Tomorrow we will go to her house with Fill in the blank 9 of 15 King. We’ll go very early, before she gets up. Fill in the blank 10 of 15 King himself can take Fill in the blank 11 of 15 photograph from Fill in the blank 12 of 15 cupboard. And then we’ll go.’
While Holmes was talking, we were walking home to Fill in the blank 13 of 15 Baker Street. When we arrived at my friend’s house, Fill in the blank 14 of 15 young man hurried past us, and said: ‘Good night, Mr Sherlock Holmes.’
‘I’ve heard that voice before,’ said Holmes to me. He looked down Fill in the blank 15 of 15 street. ‘But who was it?’

Fill in the blank 1 of 12 next day we went to Irene Norton’s house, with Fill in the blank 2 of 12 King. Fill in the blank 3 of 12 old servant opened Fill in the blank 4 of 12 door. ‘Mr Sherlock Holmes?’ she asked, and smiled.
‘Yes,’ said my friend. He looked very surprised.
‘Mrs Irene Norton and her husband left England this morning. They will never come back to this country.’
‘What?’ cried Holmes, his face white and angry.
‘And what about Fill in the blank 5 of 12 photograph?’ cried Fill in the blank 6 of 12 King.
We all hurried into Fill in the blank 7 of 12 sitting-room. Holmes ran to Fill in the blank 8 of 12 cupboard and opened it. Inside was Fill in the blank 9 of 12 photograph, not of Irene Adler and Fill in the blank 10 of 12 King, but of Fill in the blank 11 of 12 beautiful Irene alone. There was also Fill in the blank 12 of 12 letter for Sherlock Holmes. We all read it together.

My dear Mr Sherlock Holmes, You did it very well. I thought that it was Fill in the blank 1 of 14 real fire, and that you were just Fill in the blank 2 of 14 kind old man. But after I opened Fill in the blank 3 of 14 cupboard, I began to think. I knew about Fill in the blank 4 of 14 famous Sherlock Holmes. I knew your address, and I knew that Fill in the blank 5 of 14 King had asked you to find Fill in the blank 6 of 14 photograph. So I quickly dressed as Fill in the blank 7 of 14 young man and followed you home to Fill in the blank 8 of 14 Baker Street. I wanted to find out if you really were Sherlock Holmes. I said ‘good night’ to you outside your door!
My husband and I have decided to leave England. Please tell Fill in the blank 9 of 14 King that I shall not show Fill in the blank 10 of 14 photograph to anybody. I love my husband and he loves me. And he is Fill in the blank 11 of 14 better man than Fill in the blank 12 of 14 King. But here is Fill in the blank 13 of 14 different photograph. And Fill in the blank 14 of 14 King can keep this photograph, if he likes.
