Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


"Why, it is after nine now," I answered. "I should not be
surprised if that were he. I thought I heard a ring."


It was, indeed, our friend the financier. I was shocked by the
change which had come over him, for his face which was naturally
of a broad and massive mould, was now pinched and fallen in,
while his hair seemed to me at least a shade whiter. He entered
with a weariness and lethargy which was even more painful than
his violence of the morning before, and he dropped heavily into
the armchair which I pushed forward for him.
