Our chambers were always full of
chemicals and of criminal relics which
had way of wandering into unlikely
positions, and Of turning up in the
butter-dish or in even less desirable
places. But his papers were my great
crux. He had a horror Of destroying
documents, especially those which
were connected with his past cases,
and yet it was only once in every year
or two that he would muster energy
TO docket and arrange them; for, as
have mentioned somewhere in these
incoherent memoirs, the outbursts OF
passionate energy when he performed
the remarkable feats with which his
name is associated were followed by
reactions of lethargy during which he
would lie about with his violin and his
books, hardly moving save from the
sofa to the table. Thus month after
month his papers accumulated, until
every corner Of the room was stacked
with bundles of manuscript which
were on no account to be burned, and
which could not be put away save by
their owner One winters night, as
we sat together by the fire, l VEN

~ me in the character of my

that, although in his methods
