More about Sherlock Holmes : The Adventure Of The Cardboard Box
On my remarking that Iwas constantly in the habit of doing the same thing you expressedincredulity. So when I saw you throw down your paper and enter upon atrain of thought, I was very happy to have the opportunity of readingit off, and eventually of breaking into it, as a proof that I had beenin rapport with you.

If I remember right, he stumbled over a heap ofstones, looked up at the stars, and so on. But I have been seatedquietly in my chair, and what clues can I have given you? The features are given to man as themeans by which he shall express his emotions, and yours are faithfulservants. Perhaps you cannot yourselfrecall how your reverie commenced? After throwing down your paper, which was theaction which drew my attention to you, you sat for half a minute with avacant expression.
Then your eyes fixed themselves upon your newlyframed picture of General Gordon, and I saw by the alteration in yourface that a train of thought had been started. But it did not leadvery far.

Your eyes flashed across to the unframed portrait of HenryWard Beecher which stands upon the top of your books. Then you glancedup at the wall, and of course your meaning was obvious. You werethinking that if the portrait were framed it would just cover that barespace and correspond with Gordon's picture there. But now your thoughts wentback to Beecher, and you looked hard across as if you were studying thecharacter in his features.

Then your eyes ceased to pucker, but youcontinued to look across, and your face was thoughtful. You wererecalling the incidents of Beecher's career. I was well aware that youcould not do this without thinking of the mission which he undertook onbehalf of the North at the time of the Civil War, for I remember yourexpressing your passionate indignation at the way in which he wasreceived by the more turbulent of our people. You felt so stronglyabout it that I knew you could not think of Beecher without thinking ofthat also.
When a moment later I saw your eyes wander away from thepicture, I suspected that your mind had now turned to the Civil War,and when I observed that your lips set, your eyes sparkled, and yourhands clenched I was positive that you were indeed thinking of thegallantry which was shown by both sides in that desperate struggle. Butthen, again, your face grew sadder, you shook your head. You weredwelling upon the sadness and horror and useless waste of life.
Yourhand stole towards your own old wound and a smile quivered on yourlips, which showed me that the ridiculous side of this method ofsettling international questions had forced itself upon your mind. Atthis point I agreed with you that it was preposterous and was glad tofind that all my deductions had been correct. I should nothave intruded it upon your attention had you not shown some incredulitythe other day.
The Cardboard Box
But I have in my hands here a little problem which mayprove to be more difficult of solution than my small essay in thoughtreading. Have you observed in the paper a short paragraph referring tothe remarkable contents of a packet sent through the post to MissCushing, of Cross Street, Croydon? Just toss it over to me. Hereit is, under the financial column. Perhaps you would be good enough toread it aloud. Narrated by: Peter Silverleaf. Length: 49 mins.
Publisher Description
It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt.
Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour.
The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime.
He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest.
