And I always endeavour to keep a perfectly open mind. "Now, in the present case, assuming, as we must, that the robbery has actually taken place, there are four conceivable hypotheses: that the robbery was committed by Reuben Hornby; that it was committed by Walter Hornby; that it was committed by John Hornby, or that it was committed by some other person or persons.
"This is a hard experience, Hornby," said Thorndyke, when we three were, for a few moments, left apart from the others; and as he spoke the warmth of a really sympathetic nature broke through his habitual impassivity.
