excerpt from "The Adventure of the Three Students"
HOLMES: (Pointing to the bedroom doorway) And this
doorway...
SOAMES: Leads to my bedroom. But there is no way
out of the bedroom except through the office.
HOLMES: Interesting. There is no window in the
bedroom?
SOAMES: There is, but it is also painted closed.
WATSON: So how could the cheater have escaped?
HOLMES: Patience, Watson. We're getting there.
Professor, when you came in and saw the papers
had been moved, what did you do?
SOAMES: I called Bannister, and he came
immediately.
HOLMES: Your servant, yes. You said he came in and
felt faint.
SOAMES: Correct. He had to sit down, he was so upset.
HOLMES: And you left to get him some water.
