Chapter One - A Wild Excited Young Man
"McFarlane saw Watson's newspaper on the breakfast table and opened it.
"It's here," he said, "in today's newspaper. The story of the murder of Jonas Oldacre. I'll read it to you. Terrible Crime at Norwood: Murder of Well-known Builder. The police are sure that I am the man who killed him. They've followed me here from the station and are willing to arrest me. This news will kill my poor old mother, Mr Holmes, it will kill her."
McFarlane was still shaking and smoking his cigarette. Watson looked at him in an interested way. McFarlane was a good-looking young man with bright blue eyes and long hair, but he looked very afraid. He was about twenty-seven years old and Watson could see that he came from a good family.
"If the police are following you," said Holmes, "we must work quickly. Mr McFarlane, please have another cigarette. Watson, could you take the newspaper and read us the story?"
Watson opened the newspaper and started to read.
Sherlock Holmes listened carefully, his eyes closed, as Watson read the story from the morning newspaper.
