Wisteria_ch2 s334 : Henderson he called himself , but I traced him back , Paris and Rome and Madrid to Barcelona , where his ship came in in '86 .

Wisteria_ch2 s236 : 'Sold his soul to the devil in exchange for money , ' says Warner , 'and expects his creditor to come up and claim his own . '

Wisteria_ch2 s434 : " 'The true voodoo-worshipper attempts nothing of importance without certain sacrifices which are intended to propitiate his unclean gods .

Wisteria_ch2 s236 : 'Sold his soul to the devil in exchange for money , ' says Warner , 'and expects his creditor to come up and claim his own . '

Wisteria_ch2 s279 : It was about five o 'clock , and the shadows of the March evening were beginning to fall , when an excited rustic rushed into our room .

Wisteria_ch2 s180 : I say 'criminal ' because only a man with a criminal enterprise desires to establish an alibi .

Wisteria_ch2 s296 : I 'd have a short life if he had his way - the black-eyed , scowling , yellow devil . "

Wisteria_ch2 s116 : " I 'm sure , Watson , a week in the country will be invaluable to you , " he remarked .

Wisteria_ch1 s56 : I went to the house agents , you know , and they said that Mr . Garcia's rent was paid up all right and that everything was in order at Wisteria Lodge . "

Wisteria_ch1 s328 : An answer had arrived to Holmes's telegram before our Surrey officer had returned .

Wisteria_ch1 s186 : It's my way .

Wisteria_ch1 s298 : We will suppose , for argument's sake , that the household of Wisteria Lodge are confederates in some design .

Wisteria_ch1 s97 : With a dubious glance at the inspector's notebook , he plunged at once into his extraordinary statement .

Wisteria_ch1 s200 : It is a woman's writing , done with a sharp-pointed pen , but the address is either done with another pen or by someone else .

Wisteria_ch2 s72 : >From under the sink he drew a zinc pail which contained a quantity of blood .

Wisteria_ch2 s331 : >From that moment he had vanished from the world , and his identity had been a frequent subject for comment in the European press .

Wisteria_ch1 s61 : " I'm sure it must look very bad , Mr . Holmes , and I am not aware that in my whole life such a thing has ever happened before .

Wisteria_ch1 s210 : " I'm bound to say that I make nothing of the note except that there was something on hand , and that a woman , as usual was at the bottom of it . "

Wisteria_ch2 s5 : " I 'll knock at the window . "

Wisteria_ch2 s26 : I 'll see it in my dreams . "

Wisteria_ch2 s97 : " And I 'll work it myself , Mr . Holmes .

Wisteria_ch2 s82 : " You 're right , Mr . Holmes .

Wisteria_ch2 s146 : " You 're very kind , Mr . Holmes . "

Wisteria_ch2 s157 : " You 're welcome always to my news .

Wisteria_ch1 s85 : You don't mean - - you don't mean that I am suspected ? "

Wisteria_ch1 s335 : " I don't quite understand . "

Wisteria_ch1 s86 : " A letter of yours was found in the dead man's pocket , and we know by it that you had planned to pass last night at his house . "

Wisteria_ch1 s228 : It was the envelope of this letter which gave us the dead man's name and address .

Wisteria_ch1 s263 : " Well , taken with the disappearance of the man's companions , I should say that they were in some way concerned in the murder and had fled from justice . "

Wisteria_ch1 s194 : It says :

Wisteria_ch1 s332 : The telegram was a list of names and addresses : Lord Harringby , The Dingle ; Sir George Ffolliott , Oxshott Towers ; Mr . Hynes Hynes , J . P . , Purdley Place ; Mr . James Baker Williams , Forton Old Hall ; Mr . Henderson , High Gable ; Rev . Joshua Stone , Nether Walsling .

Wisteria_ch2 s123 : I must admit , however , that I was somewhat surprised when , some five days after the crime , I opened my morning paper to find in large letters :

Wisteria_ch2 s127 : " Apparently , " said I as I read the following report :

Wisteria_ch2 s433 : Here is a quotation from Eckermann 's Voodooism and the Negroid Religions :

Wisteria_ch1 s131 : He apologized for having disturbed me so late , saying that it was nearly one o'clock .

Wisteria_ch1 s242 : " He had been there since one o'clock .

Wisteria_ch1 s299 : The attempt , whatever it may be , is to come off , we will say , before one o'clock .

Wisteria_ch1 s338 : It is equally certain that this house cannot be more than a mile or two from Oxshott , since Garcia was walking in that direction and hoped , according to my reading of the facts , to be back in Wisteria Lodge in time to avail himself of an alibi , which would only be valid up to one o'clock .

Wisteria_ch1 s341 : It was nearly six o'clock before we found ourselves in the pretty Surrey village of Esher , with Inspector Baynes as our companion .

Wisteria_ch2 s140 : " You 've seen the paper , Mr . Holmes ? " he asked , holding one out to us .

Wisteria_ch2 s141 : " Yes , Baynes , I 've seen it .

Wisteria_ch2 s280 : " They 've gone , Mr . Holmes .

Wisteria_ch2 s282 : The lady broke away , and I 've got her in a cab downstairs . "

Wisteria_ch2 s299 : " Why , sir , you 've got me the very evidence I want , " said the inspector warmly , shaking my friend by the hand .

Wisteria_ch2 s314 : " I 've had a plain-clothes man waiting at the station all the week .

Wisteria_ch2 s335 : They 've been looking for him all the time for their revenge , but it is only now that they have begun to find him out . "

Wisteria_ch1 s84 : " Good God ! This is awful !

Wisteria_ch1 s152 : The foreign host , the foreign footman , the foreign cook , all had vanished in the night !

Wisteria_ch2 s25 : Lord , sir , what a face it was !

Wisteria_ch2 s63 : " Very interesting - very interesting , indeed ! " said Holmes , peering at this sinister relic .

Wisteria_ch2 s69 : " Most interesting !

Wisteria_ch2 s106 : Au revoir and good luck ! "

Wisteria_ch2 s125 : " By Jove ! " he cried .

Wisteria_ch2 s227 : " Curious people , Watson !

Wisteria_ch2 s283 : " Excellent , Warner ! " cried Holmes , springing to his feet .

Wisteria_ch2 s301 : " What !

Wisteria_ch2 s322 : The Tiger of San Pedro !

Wisteria_ch1 s9 : " There is surely something more than that , " said he ; " some underlying suggestion of the tragic and the terrible .

Wisteria_ch1 s28 : Life is commonplace , the papers are sterile ; audacity and romance seem to have passed forever from the criminal world .

Wisteria_ch1 s297 : " Exactly , my dear Watson ; he might have proved an alibi .

Wisteria_ch1 s332 : The telegram was a list of names and addresses : Lord Harringby , The Dingle ; Sir George Ffolliott , Oxshott Towers ; Mr . Hynes Hynes , J . P . , Purdley Place ; Mr . James Baker Williams , Forton Old Hall ; Mr . Henderson , High Gable ; Rev . Joshua Stone , Nether Walsling .

Wisteria_ch2 s29 : " I know , sir , I know ; but it shook me , sir , and there 's no use to deny it .

Wisteria_ch2 s153 : " No , sir ; I believe you mean well by me .

Wisteria_ch2 s162 : " I didn 't say so , Mr . Holmes ; I didn 't say so .

Wisteria_ch2 s212 : " These two men , close and confidential friends , are the centre of the household ; but there is one other person who for our immediate purpose may be even more important .

Wisteria_ch2 s339 : But another will come , and yet another , until some day justice will be done ; that is as certain as the rise of to-morrow 's sun . "

Wisteria_ch2 s388 : At first they were of a mind to let him enter the house and to kill him as a detected burglar ; but they argued that if they were mixed up in an inquiry their own identity would at once be publicly disclosed and they would be open to further attacks .

Wisteria_ch2 s395 : In a sort of dream I remember being half-led , halfcarried to the carriage ; in the same state I was conveyed to the train .

Wisteria_ch2 s12 : It has been a long evening , and I don 't think my nerve is as good as it was . "

Wisteria_ch2 s24 : I don 't know what made me look up , but there was a face looking in at me through the lower pane .

Wisteria_ch2 s30 : It wasn 't black , sir , nor was it white , nor any colour that I know but a kind of queer shade like clay with a splash of milk in it .

Wisteria_ch2 s33 : I tell you , sir , I couldn 't move a finger , nor get my breath , till it whisked away and was gone .

Wisteria_ch2 s35 : " If I didn 't know you were a good man , Walters , I should put a black mark against you for this .

Wisteria_ch2 s126 : " You don 't mean that Baynes has got him ? "

Wisteria_ch2 s142 : Pray don 't think it a liberty if I give you a word of friendly warning . "

Wisteria_ch2 s145 : I don 't want you to commit yourself too far unless you are sure . "

Wisteria_ch2 s152 : " Don 't blame me . "

Wisteria_ch2 s162 : " I didn 't say so , Mr . Holmes ; I didn 't say so .

Wisteria_ch2 s167 : " I can 't make the man out .

Wisteria_ch2 s170 : But there 's something in Inspector Baynes which I can 't quite understand . "

Wisteria_ch2 s228 : I don 't pretend to understand it all yet , but very curious people anyway .

Wisteria_ch2 s267 : We can 't let such a situation continue .

Wisteria_ch2 s295 : I shan 't forget the face at the carriage window as I led her away .

Wisteria_ch2 s318 : We can 't arrest without her evidence , that is clear , so the sooner we get a statement the better . "

Wisteria_ch1 s6 : " How do you define the word ' grotesque ' ? "

Wisteria_ch1 s160 : I called at Allan Brothers ' , the chief land agents in the village , and found that it was from this firm that the villa had been rented .

Wisteria_ch1 s311 : ' Our own colours , green and white . '

Wisteria_ch1 s313 : ' Green open , white shut . '

Wisteria_ch1 s315 : ' Main stair , first corridor , seventh right , green baize . '

Wisteria_ch1 s319 : She would not have said ' Godspeed ' had it not been so .

Wisteria_ch1 s320 : ' D ' - - that should be a guide . "

Wisteria_ch1 s322 : I suggest that ' D ' stands for Dolores , a common female name in Spain . "

Wisteria_ch2 s180 : I say 'criminal ' because only a man with a criminal enterprise desires to establish an alibi .

Wisteria_ch2 s236 : 'Sold his soul to the devil in exchange for money , ' says Warner , 'and expects his creditor to come up and claim his own . '

Wisteria_ch2 s436 : The more usual victims are a white cock , which is plucked in pieces alive , or a black goat , whose throat is cut and body burned . '

Wisteria_ch2 s4 : " There 's a constable in possession , " said Baynes .

Wisteria_ch2 s9 : " What 's the matter , Walters ? " asked Baynes sharply .

Wisteria_ch2 s15 : " Well , sir , it 's this lonely , silent house and the queer thing in the kitchen .

Wisteria_ch2 s29 : " I know , sir , I know ; but it shook me , sir , and there 's no use to deny it .

Wisteria_ch2 s43 : " Well , " said the inspector with a grave and thoughtful face , " whoever he may have been , and whatever he may have wanted , he 's gone for the present , and we have more immediate things to attend to .

Wisteria_ch2 s54 : The table was piled with half-eaten dishes and dirty plates , the debris of last night 's dinner .

Wisteria_ch2 s81 : Inspector Baynes 's small eyes twinkled with pleasure .

Wisteria_ch2 s98 : It 's only due to my own credit to do so .

Wisteria_ch2 s148 : It seemed to me that something like a wink quivered for an instant over one of Mr . Baynes 's tiny eyes .

Wisteria_ch2 s150 : That 's what I am doing . "

Wisteria_ch2 s159 : He chewed Downing 's thumb nearly off before they could master him .

Wisteria_ch2 s165 : That 's the agreement . "

Wisteria_ch2 s170 : But there 's something in Inspector Baynes which I can 't quite understand . "

Wisteria_ch2 s177 : We may put aside this idea of Baynes 's that Garcia 's servants were concerned in the matter .

Wisteria_ch2 s184 : " We can now see a reason for the disappearance of Garcia 's household .

Wisteria_ch2 s186 : If it came off when Garcia returned , any possible suspicion would be warded off by the Englishman 's evidence , and all would be well .

Wisteria_ch2 s217 : It is only within the last weeks that he has returned , after a year 's absence , to High Gable .

Wisteria_ch2 s229 : It 's a double-winged house , and the servants live on one side , the family on the other .

Wisteria_ch2 s230 : There 's no link between the two save for Henderson 's own servant , who serves the family 's meals .

Wisteria_ch2 s247 : I may add that Miss Burnet 's age and character make it certain that my first idea that there might be a love interest in our story is out of the question .

Wisteria_ch2 s264 : The woman 's disappearance counts for nothing , since in that extraordinary household any member of it might be invisible for a week .

Wisteria_ch2 s310 : Holmes laid his hand upon the inspector 's shoulder .

Wisteria_ch2 s339 : But another will come , and yet another , until some day justice will be done ; that is as certain as the rise of to-morrow 's sun . "

Wisteria_ch2 s353 : This villain 's policy was to murder , on one pretext or another , every man who showed such promise that he might in time come to be a dangerous rival .

Wisteria_ch2 s366 : He little knew that the woman who faced him at every meal was the woman whose husband he had hurried at an hour 's notice into eternity .

Wisteria_ch2 s386 : How they murdered him I do not know , save that it was Murillo 's hand who struck him down , for Lopez had remained to guard me .

Wisteria_ch2 s422 : " The object of the mulatto cook 's return ? "

Wisteria_ch2 s426 : But the mulatto 's heart was with it , and he was driven back to it next day , when , on reconnoitering through the window , he found policeman Walters in possession .

Wisteria_ch2 s433 : Here is a quotation from Eckermann 's Voodooism and the Negroid Religions :
