"Fool that I was not to allow for that earlier train! It's abduction, Watson abduction! Murder! Heaven knows what! Block the road! Stop the horse! That's right.

We had sprung into the dog-cart, and Holmes, after turning the horse, gave it a sharp cut with the whip, and we flew back along the road.
