13681    I shall do nothing more to-day, unless I have an answer to my cab advertisement.

13682    But I should be extremely obliged to you if you would come down with me to Woking to-morrow, by the same train which we took to-day.'

13683    I met him accordingly next morning, and we travelled down to Woking together.

13684    He had had no answer to his advertisement, he said, and no fresh light had been thrown upon the case.

13685    He had, when he so willed it, the utter immobility of countenance of a Red Indian, and I could not gather from his appearance whether he was satisfied or not with the position of the case.

13686    His conversation, I remember, was about the Bertillon system of measurements, and he expressed his enthusiastic admiration of the French savant.

13687    We found our client still under the charge of his devoted nurse, but looking considerably better than before.

13688    He rose from the sofa and greeted us without difficulty when we entered.

13689    'Any news?' he asked, eagerly.

13690    'My report, as I expected, is a negative one,' said Holmes.

13691    'I have seen Forbes, and I have seen your uncle, and I have set one or two trains of inquiry upon foot which may lead to something.'

13692    'You have not lost heart, then?'

13693    'By no means.'

13694    'God bless you for saying that!' cried Miss Harrison.

13695    'If we keep our courage and our patience, the truth must come out.'
