      wife has ceased to love him。;



          ;My dear Holmes� �



          ;He has�察�however�察�retained some degree of self´respect�察─�he

      continued�察�disregarding my remonstrance。  ;He is a man who leads a

      sedentary life�察�goes out little�察�is out of training entirely�察�is

      middle´aged�察�has grizzled hair which he has had cut within the

      last few days�察�and which he anoints with lime´cream。  These are

      the more patent facts which are to be deduced from his hat。  Also��

      by the way�察�that it is extremely improbable that he has gas laid

      on in his house。;



          ;You are certainly joking�察�Holmes。;



          ;Not in the least。  Is it possible that even now�察�when I give

      you these results�察�you are unable to see how they are attained�拭�



          ;I have no doubt that I am very stupid�察�but I must confess

      that I am unable to follow you。  For example�察�how did you deduce

      that this man was intellectual�拭�



          For answer Holmes clapped the hat upon his head。  It came

      right over the forehead and settled upon the bridge of his nose。

      ;It is a question of cubic capacity�察─�said he�察 �a man with so

      large a brain must have something in it。;



          ;The decline of his fortunes�察�then�拭�



          ;This hat is three years old。  These flat brims curled at the

      edge came in then。  It is a hat of the very best quality。  Look at

      the band of ribbed silk and the excellent lining。  If this man

      could afford to buy so expensive a hat three years ago�察�and has

      had no hat since�察�then he has assuredly gone down in the world。;



          ;Well�察�that is clear enough�察�certainly。  But how about the

      foresight and the moral retrogression�拭�



          Sherlock Holmes laughed。  ;Here is the foresight�察─�said he��

      putting his finger upon the little disc and loop of the

      hat´securer。  ;They are never sold upon hats。  If this man ordered

      one�察�it is a sign of a certain amount of foresight�察�since he went

      out of his way to take this precaution against the wind。  But

      since we see that he has broken the elastic and has not troubled

      to replace it�察�it is obvious that he has less foresight now than

      formerly�察�which is a distinct proof of a weakening nature。  On the

      other hand�察�he has endeavoured to conceal some of these stains

      upon the felt by daubing them with ink�察�which is a sign that he

      has not entirely lost his self´respect。;



          ;Your reasoning is certainly plausible。;



          ;The further points�察�that he is middle´aged�察�that his hair is

      grizzled�察�that it has been recently cut�察�and that he uses

      lime´cream�察�are all to be gathered from a close examination of the

      lower part of the lining。  The lens discloses a large number of

      hair´ends�察�clean cut by the scissors of the barber。  They all

      appear to be adhesive�察�and there is a distinct odour of

      lime´cream。  This dust�察�you will observe�察�is not the gritty�察�gray

      dust of the street but the fluffy brown dust of the house�察�showing

      that it has been hung up indoors most of the time�察�while the marks

      of moisture upon the inside are proof positive that the wearer

      perspired very freely�察�and could therefore�察�hardly be in the best

      of training。;



          ;But his wifeyou said that she had ceased to love him。;



          ;This hat has not been brushed for weeks。  When I see you�察�my

      dear Watson�察�with a week's accumulation of dust upon your hat�察�and

      when your wife allows you to go out in such a state�察�I shall fear

      that you also have been unfortunate enough to lose your wife's

      affection。;



          ;But he might be a bachelor。;



          ;Nay�察�he was bringing home the goose as a peace´offering to

      his wife。  Remember the card upon the bird's leg。;



          ;You have an answer to everything。  But how on earth do you

      deduce that the gas is not laid on in his house�拭�



          ;One tallow stain�察�or even two�察�might come by chance�察�but when

      I see no less than five�察�I think that there can be little doubt

      that the individual must be brought into frequent contact with

      burning tallowwalks upstairs at night probably with his hat in

      one hand and a guttering candle in the other。  Anyhow�察�he never

      got tallow´stains from a gas´jet。  Are you satisfied�拭�



          ;Well�察�it is very ingenious�察─�said I�察�laughing�察 �but since�察�as

      you said just now�察�there has been no crime committed�察�and no harm

      done save the loss of a goose�察�all this seems to be rather a waste

      of energy。;



          Sherlock Holmes had opened his mouth to reply�察�when the door

      flew open�察�and Peterson�察�the commissionaire�察�rushed into the

      apartment with flushed cheeks and the face of a man who is dazed

      with astonishment。



          ;The goose�察�Mr。 Holmes�  �The goose�察�sir� ─�he gasped。



          ;Eh�拭 �What of it�察�then�拭 �Has it returned to life and flapped

      off through the kitchen window�拭─ �Holmes twisted himself round

      upon the sofa to get a fairer view of the man's excited face。



          ;See here�察�sir�  �See what my wife found in its crop� ─ �He held

      out his hand and displayed upon the centre of the palm a

      brilliantly scintillating blue stone�察�rather smaller than a bean

      in size�察�but of such purity and radiance that it twinkled like an

      electric point in the dark hollow of his hand。



          Sherlock Holmes sat up with a whistle。  ;By Jove�察�Peterson� �

      said he�察 �this is treasure trove indeed。  I suppose you know what

      you have got�拭�



          ;A diamond�察�sir�拭 �A precious stone。  It cuts into glass as

      though it were putty。;



          ;It's more than a precious stone。  It is the precious stone。;



          ;Not the Countess of Morcar's blue carbuncle� ─�I ejaculated。



          ;Precisely so。  I ought to know its size and shape�察�seeing

      that I have read the advertisement about it in The Times every day

      lately。  It is absolutely unique�察�and its value can only be

      conjectured�察�but the reward offered of 1000 pounds is certainly not

      within a twentieth part of the market price。;



          ;A thousand pounds�  �Great Lord of mercy� ─ �The commissionaire

      plumped down into a chair and stared from one to the other of us。



          ;That is the reward�察�and I have reason to know that there are

      sentimental considerations in the background which would induce

      the Countess to part with half her fortune if she could but

      recover the gem。;



          ;It was lost�察�if I remember aright�察�at the Hotel

      Cosmopolitan�察─�I remarked。



          ;Precisely so�察�on December 22d�察�just five days ago。  John

      Horner�察�a plumber�察�was accused of having abstracted it from the

      lady's jewel´case。  The evidence against him was so strong that

      the case has been referred to the Assizes。  I have some account of

      the matter here�察�I believe。;  He rummaged amid his newspapers��

      glancing over the dates�察�until at last he smoothed one out��

      doubled it over�察�and read the following paragraph��



              ;Hotel Cosmopolitan Jewel Robbery。  John Horner�察�26��

          plumber�察�was brought up upon the charge of having upon the 22d

          inst。�察�abstracted from the jewel´case of the Countess of

          Morcar the valuable gem known as the blue carbuncle。  James

          Ryder�察�upper´attendant at the hotel�察�gave his evidence to the

          effect that he had shown Homer up to the dressing´room of the

          Countess of Morcar upon the day of the robbery in order that

          he might solder the second bar of the grate�察�which was loose。

          He had remained with Horner some little time�察�but had finally

          been ca
